Gift giving is different in different （51）　 　﹣．Here are some of their likes．In Japan，people sometimes give special gifts．But they are not opened．

37．（6分）A recent research shows that physical activity（体育活动） may help students do better in their classes．The research comes because educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P．E．class．
Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies．Twelve were from the United States，one from Canada and one from South Africa．The studies appeared between 2009and 2013．They included more than 55，000children，aged six to eighteen．
Thomas Singh，one of the researchers，says the studies showed a relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as math，English and reading．Ms．Singh offers some possible explanations（解释）：
"There are，first，physiological （生理的） explanations，like more blood flow，and so more oxygen （氧气） to the brain．Being physically active means there are more hormones（ 荷尔蒙） produced like endorphins （ 脑内啡）．And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved，which means you will perform better in class．Also，students who take part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them．This could improve their classroom behavior and help them know what they should do．
All in all，the finding tells us that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school．Ms．Singh says schools should consider the finding before they cut physical education programs．
64．What led the researchers to do the studies？　 　
A．Schools'cutting physical activity．
B．Their interest in physical activity．
C．The tests including about 55，000children．
D．Kids'unsatisfying schooling performance．
65．How many countries took part in the studies？　 　
A.14． B.12 C.2． D.3．

activity according to the passage？

38．（8分）We always celebrated Dad's birthday on Thanksgiving Day，even after he entered a nursing home．When we knew it might be his last birthday，the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home．
Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners．During a quiet moment，I announced it was now Dad's turn to listen to stories for a change．I wanted everyone to tell Dad what we loved about him．The room became quiet．Then one after another，people told stories from their hearts，while Dad listened with tears in eyes．
Everyone seemed to have more than one story．Even the little grandchildren couldn't wait to tell Dad why they loved him．For a man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life，here was our chance to tell him how much we love him．A few months later，at Dad's memorial service，we more fully realized what we had given to Dad that night．Those are the stories people normally tell at a funeral （葬礼） after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the words．They tell stories，full of tears．But we had given those memories to Dad in his life，and we had told them through laughter，together with hugs and joy．He had them to hold and enjoyed them from time to time in his mind during his last days and months．
Words do matter，and they are enough．We just need to say them or to speak them publicly the ones we love．That's the ways to give back love and that's our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life．
