         What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's
    face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
         This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he
    never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were
    leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked.
    The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath
    a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love
    writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
         I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of
    the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he
    did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I
    felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
         Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling
    black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
    1.  The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was _________.
    A. doing shopping
    B. having a debater

    A. a photo of a flower
    B. a story about a kid
    C. a call from the mother
    D. a text about Christmas
    3. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _________.
    A. the father
    B. the author
    C. William Blake
    D. Edgar Allan Poe
    4. The author made the gift by _________.
    A. searching for the poems online
    B. drawing the background by hand
    C. painting the letters in three colors
    D. matching the words with pictures
    5. What is the main purpose of the passage? 
    A. To show how to design images for gifts.
    B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart.
    C. To explain how computers help create gifts.

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
