AA gift card is a card that is issued(发行) by a store.These cards are big money makers for stores.One reason is that when gift-card holders go to the store,they often see other things to buy,and they spend more money than the gift card is worth.Unused cards are another reason.Stores make millions of dollars because large numbers of people never use their cards.They either lose them,forget about them,or decide that it's not worth the effort.Gift card are becoming very popular in many countries around the world.In the US,they are one of the most popular kinds of gifts.Why?People love the convenience—gift cards are easy to buy and easy to use,either in the store or online.The recipient can choose his or her own gift,and the giver does not have to worry about finding just the right thing. Receiving a gift card,however,is not the same as receiving a gift.A real gift is a better reminder of the person who gave it.The message of a real gift is more likely to be,"I spend some time trying to find the right gift for you because I care about you."Often a gift card does not send the same message as a real gift.It may seem to say,"I was in a hurry.I didn't have time to think about what you would really like."In today's world,gift cards are certainly convenient.However,they can make us forget the real purpose of giving gifts,which is to build a closer connection between the gift-giver and the gift-recipient.1.How many reasons are given to explain why gift cards are big money makers for stores?A.OneB.TwoC.Three2.What does the underline word"recipient"mean in Chinese?

Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. 11 Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.12 Here are some advice:Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills—how to work when you are in an exam. Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.You need exercise to work well. 13Stop thinking about the future and failing.If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exam s makes you work hard for them.If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. 14To this advice, we could add:If you are stud ying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “going round and round”—thinking too much. 15 Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.A. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide yo ur feelings.B. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise.C. How to get through exams?D.You cannot change what you have written!E.Walk, run and play sport—whatever you enjoy.DIn Australia there is a famous island called Fraser Island.A great many visitors come here for holidays every year.Why?The reason is that it is special. 16 .In fact,it is the largest sand island in the world.It's about 200 kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide.Though the island is a popular place of interest,there is no airport on the island.The long beach along the east coast works as the airport. 17 .On the island there are sand hills without any plants,but there are forests with old trees,beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes,too. 18 .Every year,visitors come to enjoy the island's natural beauty.People like camping and hiking there. 19 .Animals were killed for food and this made them in danger of extinction （灭绝）.They threw rubbish everywhere,and the lakes were seriously polluted.20 .Rules have been set up.For example,visitors are not allowed to use motorboats （摩托艇） or go fishing in the lakes,and they mustn't leave any rubbish.A.Planes arrive and leave from hereB.So it is time to protect the environment of the islandC.The islands completely made of sandD.Unluckily,visitors have caused many problemsE.Many kinds of birds and animals live in the forestE阅读E篇，根据短文内容简要回答问题。
