37、she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to make a little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap, so she cooked a lot of them, mostly on

50、Chronic wasting disease (CWD), also known as “zombie deer disease”, was first observed in deer populations during the 1960s, and now in some areas, the disease has infected 25 percent of the local deer population—and tho

51、se figures are as 79 percent in highly-infected areas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It has been reported</p><p>　　The disease causes the brains of infected animal—including de

52、er, elk, caribou, and moose—to gradually deteriorate. In the end, the animals can almost seem like zombies, with symptoms like drooling, aggression, extreme weight loss, stumbling, and tremors. The condition is always fa

53、tal and there is no treatment.</p><p>　　Scientist can’t explain exactly how CWD spreads, though they believe animals can become infected through polluted liquids and foods, and/or through bodily fluids. It’s

54、 estimated that North American residents eat around 7,000-15,000 chronic wasting disease-ridden animals every year, according to the Alliance for Public Wildlife. And now some experts are wondering if it could spread to

55、humans.</p><p>　　While there are currently no known cases of CWD in humans, a study conducted by the Alberta Prion Research Institute recently discovered that the disease can be spread to monkeys who’ve eate

56、n infected deer meat. The primates chosen for the study were selected for their genetic similarity to humans. “The assumption was for the longest time that chronic wasting disease was not a threat to human health,” Stefa

62、;/b></p><p>　　Is any economist so dull as to criticize Christmas? At first glance, the holiday season in western economies seems a treat for those concerned with such vagaries (奇想) as GDP growth. After al

63、l, everyone is spending; in America, retailers make 25% of their yearly sales and 60% of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even so, economists find something to worry about in the nature of the purchases

64、being made.</p><p>　　Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others. At the simplest level, giving gifts involves the giver thinking of something that the recipient(接受者) would like — he tries to guess h

65、er preferences, as economists say — and then buying the gift and delivering it. Yet this guessing of preferences is not easy; indeed, it is often done badly. Every year, ties go unworn and books unread. And even if a gif

66、t is enjoyed, it may not be what the recipient would have bought if they had spent the money t</p><p>　　Interested in this mismatch between wants and gifts, in 1993 Joel Waldfogel, then an economist at Yale

67、University, sought to estimate the difference in dollar terms. In a research, he asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season: first, estimate the total amount paid (by the givers) for all the holiday gift

68、s you received; second, apart from the sentimental value of the items, if you did not have them, how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were gloomy: on av</p><p>　　In addition, recipie

69、nts may not know their own preferences very well. Some of the best gifts, after all, are unexpected items that you would never have thought of buying, but which turn out to be especially well picked. And preference can c

70、hange. So by giving a jazz CD, for example, the giver may be encouraging the recipient to enjoy something that was ignored before. This, a desire to build skills, is possibly the hope held by many parents who ignore thei

71、r children’s desires for video games and</p><p>　　Finally, there are items that a recipient would like to receive but not purchase. If someone else buys them, however, they can be enjoyed guilt-free. This mi

72、ght explain the high volume of chocolate that changes over the holidays. Thus, the lesson for gift-givers is that you should try hard to guess the preference of each person on your list and then choose a gift that will h

73、ave a high sentimental value.</p><p>　　32. The word “sentimental” in Paragraph 3 is close to “.”</p><p>　　A. intelligentB. emotionalC. socialD. practical</p><p>　　33. Accord

74、ing to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?</p><p>　　A. Price is nothing but the factor when you give gifts.</p><p>　　B. Chocolates will be blamed when people receive them as gif

75、ts.</p><p>　　C. The receivers often overestimate the values of gifts.</p><p>　　D. Wants do not always correspond to needs in gift-giving.</p><p>　　34. Which of the following stateme

76、nts can be inferred from the text?</p><p>　　A. The gift-giver tries to ignore the actual needs of the receiver.</p><p>　　B. The best gifts are well picked by the givers.</p><p>　　C.

77、 In gift-giving, guessing preference is often a failure, so it’s the thought that counts.</p><p>　　D. You have to take money into consideration when giving a gift.</p><p>　　35. The text is most
