As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at
12、 her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. Ill admit that there are people who I love and who I still
13、need to better understand. I hope Ill continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem
14、 to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotion
15、al glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeperand healthierour love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must s

The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wr
21、apping, giving, receiving, opening, returning.is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and g
22、ift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of
23、the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “ this is just exactly what I wanted ! “ Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“ always wanted“ gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wan
24、ted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, youll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a
25、gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to yo
26、ur niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.36 Finding a gift for somebody is a( n) _.（A）easy job（B） tough task（C） must-be job（D）arranged task37 It is quite_for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.（A）usual（B） normal（C） abno

29、ve40 They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) .The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind“ will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia
30、dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow
31、School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimers Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimers Scotland said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.“The other advantage of using the pets a
32、s companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimers, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They dont need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.Th
33、e dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.41 As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for_.（A）helping ensure the owner doing some exercises（B） reminding the owner to take medicin
34、e（C） communicating with the owner in a non-verbal way（D）helping the owner recover from the illness42 Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?（A）The students who developed the idea.（B） The owners of the dogs.（C） The experts in Alzheimers Scotland.（D）It is not mentioned in the passage.43 What is

37、 exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The bands reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimeas music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt
38、or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops toobut making money through
39、sales of their music isnt the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitallyto computer, phones and MP 3 players rose to $ 2 billion in 2006an i
40、ncrease of almost 100 percent on the previous yearyet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage
41、the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchasesthey can buy a song as soon as they hear it
42、. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for peoples disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, howe
43、ver, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracyusually in the form of cheaply copied CDhas long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation th
44、at leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.46 What is unusual about the Crimeas business plan?（A）Their business was given away free on the Internet.（B） They gave CDs away free in shops.（C） They played
