21、The facts we’ve got for you today are kind of fun! It turns out that your hand can tell you a lot about your personality (性格). It’s really quite unusual and strange. The secret mostly lies in your ring finger and index finger (食指). It can say a lot about what kind of person you are. This test only applies to (适用于) men. There are three types: A, B and C.
A. The ring finger is longer than the index finger
We’re talking about handsome men here. They’re charming (有魅力的) and can get along well with everyone. Yet, they become angry easily, like to attack and are quick to take risks. This also means that this type of person often makes more money than their colleagues (同事) with shorter ring fingers, though they all work hard.
B. The ring finger is shorter than the index finger
Men with these hands are very confident and can even be a little narcissistic (自恋的). These people have no trouble being alone often and don’t like being disturbed. However, when it comes to love, they are less confident as they’re not the ones to make the first move and take the initiative.
C. The ring finger and the index finger are the same length
Maybe this has said enough already. Men with these hands are good mediators (调解者), very faithful and loving. Everything is balanced with this type. They’re calm and everything seems to run smoothly, as if it’s all organized.
【1】The writer thinks it’s ________ to tell a person’s personality by fingers.

23、Gift giving is an important practice that can show a number of different meanings. Here are some gift giving traditions from a few different countries.
◆In Zimbabwe
In Zimbabwe, it is common to ask for a gift straightly. When a gift has been bought even without asking for it, the worst thing you can do is to refuse the offering, even if the giving family is poor.
◆In Japan
The Japanese place a great importance on the act of gift giving. For example, people don’t like uncovered money. So whether you’re sending money as a gift or just leaving a tip (小费), put your money in an envelope (信封).
◆In India
As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, acts such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts must be done with your right hand.
◆In Russia
Vodka (伏特加酒) might seem a perfect gift for a Russian, but in fact, a lot of them would see it as an unimaginative gift. Many even think the idea is terrible.
◆In Ireland
Don’t be astonished if your gift is refused a couple of times in Ireland. This tradition comes from a time when they didn’t have enough potatoes to eat in the 1840s, and because of this, the receivers are making sure that you can really part from the thing that you are offering.
【1】From the passage, we can know that ________.
A.it’s common to refuse gifts in Zimbabwe
B.Japanese people don’t send money as a gift
C.Indian people use right hands when giving gifts

At eight o'clock, the lights began to dim, and the concert was about to start. The mother began to look for the boy. Then, she 【3】(看见) her 6-year-old son on stage. He was on the piano bench playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
