It’s simple, really -- the heavier your possessions are, the more you will pay. 38 Sort out your belongings and make up your mind what you’re taking with von and what you' re leaving behind. And get rid of all the items you’ve decided not to move. ‎ Packing services cost an average of $50 an hour if you plan to rent a truck and make the move yourself. 39 Pack what you can yourself and have a moving company ship your possessions to your new home for a small of a full-service rate.

First, see whether the folks on your to-buy-for list have already dropped some valuable hints of their dreamed items. If you strike out, encourage your lucky recipients to post items they wish ‎ someone would buy for them. You can also find inspiration in the many online gift guides. 37 — Gifts for Dads, Gifts for Golfers and such. Then you’ll get the idea. ‎ ‎ 38 You really can enlist your own personal helpers. Don’t feel guilty about that—after all, Santa employs helpers too. Many stores have free professional shoppers who can pick out presents for you. We’re not talking just high-end stores such as Blooming-dale’s and Nordstrom. 39 They’re all hungry to win your business away from online retailers. But you’ll likely need an appointment, so call ahead or search stores’ websites for “personal shopping”. You’ll typically find a link on the home page under Contact Us or Services.‎ Have gifts delivered.Time is money, and for not a lot of money you can save a lot of time by having your gifts delivered right to your door. Some mom-and-pop shops offer delivery service while chain stores tend to charge for that, but it still might be worth paying for the convenience. 40 First go to postmates.com or download the free app and see whether it’s available in your area. Then type the name of a store into the search bar, click on the store, and enter the item you want.‎ A. Make an appointment ahead.‎ B. Can’t figure out what to buy?‎ C. Do you wish for a stress-free holiday?‎ D. Get someone else to do shopping for you.‎ E. They are typically organized by recipient, interest, and/or price range.‎ F. Others like Macy’s and J.

People with low self-esteem often feel as if no one will like them or accept them or that they don’t do well in anything. The following ways may help you improve your self-esteem.‎ ‎ 32 If you’re used to focusing on your shortcomings, start thinking about positive aspects of yourself that overweigh them.‎ It is good to aim high, but your goals for yourself should be within reach. 33 Mistakes are part of learning, so view mistakes as learning opportunities. Accept that you make mistakes because everyone does.‎ ‎ 34 If you realize that you’re unhappy with something about yourself that you can change, start today. If it’s something you can’t change (like your height), start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.‎ Feeling like you’re making a difference and that your help is valued can do wonders to improve your self-esteem. 35 You can lend a hand to a classmate who’s having trouble, help clean up your neighborhood or volunteer to do some other things.‎ A.

So when Mardy McGarry wanted to build a playground for kids with special needs, she knew it wouldn’t take long to create interest in the project. But she never expected that a third of the town people would join in it. 36 ‎ ‎ “A lot of learning comes through play,” says McGarry, a special education teacher for 28 years. She’d seen the wood chips and sand of traditional playgrounds stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks.‎ ‎ When a piece of land became available, the city council agreed to choose a part for a playground. 37__ She asked classrooms of kids for their wish list. She also asked experts for ‎ help. And she brought on board her friend Sue Mayer, whose eight-year-old son, Sam, has a serious disease.‎ ‎ Her Kiwanis Club chapter came through with $ 7,000, and that’s when the grassroots movement really got started. One woman gave $ 25,000 and had her company donate the same amount. 38 There were silent auctions(拍卖) and T-shirt sales. The local Pieper Family Foundation offered to donate half of the remaining $170,000 balance if McGarry could raise the rest. The $ 450,000 covered materials, but the actual construction would cost an additional $ 900,000. Not a choice. But the community could build it.‎ On September 16, 2008, the first day of construction, they came. Two women heard about the project on the radio on the way to work and took the day off to help. 39 Ten-year-olds sanded surfaces.‎ ‎ Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular destinations in Ozaukee County. There’s a giant pirate ship, a rock-climbing wall, high and low rings, monkey bars, sandboxes, swings, slides, bridges and so on.‎ ‎ 40 It’s exactly what McGarry wanted. People used to ask why she wanted to build a playground just for children with disabilities. “They didn’t get it. It’s only when you build a playground for children with disabilities that you build one for all children,” she said.‎ ‎ A. Soon smaller businesses were helping.‎ ‎ B. All children play shoulder to shoulder.‎ ‎ C. But her students were too often left out.‎ ‎ D. Everyone thought it was really a great wonder.‎ ‎ E. A couple in their 80s operated their own trucks.‎ ‎ F. McGarry started researching play equipment and contacting design firms.‎ ‎ G. They rolled up their sleeves and used their weekdays to bring her idea to life.‎ 参考答案：36. G 37. F 38. A39. E 40. B ‎[五]‎ Gift giving has been a long tradition and is rooted in our DNA. In the past, gift giving was popular with our ancestors. 36 ‎ There has been a considerable amount of research over the years into the feelings when we give gifts to those we care about. The reasons why gift giving can stand the test of time are as follows:‎ Make people feel happy. In studies where people were asked to give gifts as a part of an ‎ experiment, the result was that people actually felt better and happier about their own lives.‎ ‎ 37 Research suggests that giving gifts may improve a person's state of mind. If gift giving makes you feel happier with a sense of purpose, then this may inevitably improve your state of mind.‎ Establish greater social connection. By giving a gift, you not only express your feelings but also build a stronger connection to that person as well. 38 This greater social connection also means an improvement in the state of being as well as overall happiness.‎ Influence others to imitate it. 39 When a person starts giving gifts, not only will the receiver become more likely to give, but also those around them who see this act will start giving as well.‎ Gift giving is spread across all cultures around the world, from celebrating birthdays, anniversaries offering good luck, showing love and affection, to just saying thanks. Gifts are given to family members, friends, those we work with and even neighbors. 40 ‎ A．Improve state of mind.‎ B．Help people contact others.‎ C．It is better to give than to receive.‎ D. The act of giving has an effect on others around.‎ E．In brief, gifts are given to everyone for all occasions.‎ F．The receiver as well as the giver feels closer to each other.‎ G．Today, gift giving exists nearly every corner throughout the world.‎ 参考答案：36-40.

Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. ‎ ‎ 36 Firstly, the production of textiles（纺织品）pollutes the environment heavily. Cottonplanting uses pesticides（杀虫剂）；sheepfarming and woolcleaning contribute to global warming；Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment.

We are now so quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.‎ ‎ 38 To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting sustainable （可持续的）materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycle and minimize waste. 39 ‎ There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but in fact, more and more people are concerning about this and we can make sure that doesn’t happen. 40 ‎ A.
