The act of giving gifts is a gesture of friendship, love, celebration and thanks. With a little planning, your gifts will be remembered for years.

1. Put a reminder in your diary one or two weeks before the occasion so that you can start doing your shopping. If your receivers live very far away and you need to mail the gift, then advanced planning is even more important. It will make sure that your gift gets to them on time.

Don't give gifts based on what others give you. We often hear people say, “She’s spending $ 100 on me, so I should spend $ 100 on her”.2.Your gifts should be based on what is on your heart for your receivers. Don't worry about whether your receivers are going to give you something back or how much they are spending on your gifts.

Respect your budget.3.　Gifts given with sincerity are appreciated even more than expensive items. By planning how much you need to spend on your gifts for others and assigning a dollar amount to each desired gift on your list, you'll be better prepared to shop within your budget.

Be aware of wrappings.4.　A tastefully wrapped gift with materials that can be reused or recycled shows your caring for the environment.

Present your gift with respect.5.　And when you do, present your gift by holding with both your hands as though you were holding it on a silver platter.

A. This thinking completely ruins the value of giving gifts to each other.

B. Beautiful gifts don't necessarily need to rely on ribbons or boxes.

C. The cost of your gift will not be the main factor in its success.

D. The best way to present a gift is always presenting it in person.

F. You shouldn't buy gifts which are out of your budget.

G. Keep a schedule of the special dates.

When you hear the word “recycling”, what comes to your mind? The color green or global warming?

What if I were to tell you there is a dark side of recycling? A type of recycling that does more than good. The dark side of recycling has nothing to do with the environment but rather has a lot to do with the recycling of ideas.

Environmental unrest is not the only trouble we must face. Idea pollution is quickly becoming widespread across the online world.

Think about it. When was the last time you read an original blog post? I’m guessing it has been quite a while. Why do you think top bloggers of today win so much respect? Do you think they recycle their ideas? With each recycled idea the online world becomes much more polluted. Used content contributes to the ever increasing mass of digital smog.

The first step to reduce pollution is simple: stop recycling. When you stop recycling, you will then be forced to take up the task of creating from your own ideas. When you recycle an excellent idea, it soon becomes good. When you recycle a good idea, it soon becomes just OK. The chain continues until the key part of what used to make the idea good is saturated, leaving you nothing but a pile of mess.

In order not to pollute, your ideas must go beyond “just recycled”. Your ideas must stand out from the pollution of the web. For your voice and talent to be heard and seen, you must go far beyond the standard copy of your neighbours’ ideas.

For the next week, make a promise not to recycle. Let your ideas flourish and flow. Believe in your ability to create, because the death of recycling starts with YOU.

1.Which is true about top bloggers of today according to the writer?

A. They often recycle their ideas.

B. They tend to express many fresh ideas.

C. They are not worth much respect.

D. They make good use of others’ ideas.

2.What is the meaning of the underlined word “saturated” in paragraph 5?

A. many and good B. useful but not enough C. many but not good D. beneficial

3.This passage is written mainly for ________.

A. top bloggers B. common bloggers

C. environmental polluters D. net researchers

4.The main purpose of this passage is ________.

A. to remind people to pay attention to environmental protection

B. to prove that the web environment is becoming worse and worse

C. to warn people not to pollute our web environment with bad words

D. to call on people to write online more creatively instead of repeating
