Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. When selecting gifts, it's important to consider the occasion, the party's theme, and the host's age and gender, as these factors influence the ideal choice. For example, a gift for a 13-year-old girl would differ from one for a 28-year-old man. Reflect on why the party is being held. Is it to celebrate a marriage? A graduation? Understanding this will help you choose an appropriate gift—ideally something they'll find useful for the event. Below you'll find suggested gifts for various occasions. Feel free to use these ideas or create your own personalized options. For Mom's birthday or Mother's Day Try elegant jewelry, a specialty cookbook (if she likes cooking), a best-selling novel she'd enjoy, a feel-good movie you can watch together, or a heartfelt handwritten poem. For Dad's birthday or Father's Day Great options include sports event tickets, a mug (杯子) with a funny saying, a watch, or a scrapbook (剪贴簿) of your memories together. For young children Perfect gifts include plush stuffed animals, children's picture book, fun bubble wands, art marker sets, toy trucks, or popular dolls (or other toys). For friends Thoughtful choices are framed photo of your friendship, a gift card to their favourite store, a subscription to their favorite magazine, or the latest bestseller. For weddings Ideal gifts include quality kitchenware, great picture frames, decorative serving platters, ornamental (装饰性的) keepsakes, custom wedding artwork (艺术品), bedding sets, or a beautiful vase. 31.
