33、rent sources, and the results were surprising!Are Gift Cards a Good Idea?Rather than give someone a gift that they might not like, its better just to pick up a gift card so they can buy what they really want, right? WrongThis year, $ 2.5 billion in gift cards went unspentOf that amount, $1.3 billion

41、s are always meaningless Dcareful consideration is necessary before buying a giftCEvery American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is no difference. Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bake
42、s pies. Im sorry to say that the men in the family my dad, my younger brother and myself rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vege
43、tables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but its not yet time to eat.First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have.

It claims to provide visitors with an “education” through games and other entertainment.A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. Call me Haiz, he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up wi
50、th a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising. Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids of that age are also a big market for advertisers.The i
51、dea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose
52、different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the
53、 advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing. One such area is food marketing.

58、siting a planet in the Milky Way(银河系)? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eyes. They would have to sleep for years. European researchers are now conducting hibe
59、rnation (冬眠) experiments.

60、h.What seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they dont age.

61、le systems, whereas body organs are far more complex. “Its like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer,”Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a persons metabolism(新陈代谢)to lower so they would need less energy.Medical research, however, is just half of
62、a spaceflight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter. Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature.
