Later, the same gift may be given away to someone 52, because many people have enough things and don’t want 53 gifts themselves. In Canada, a tree can help remember 54. In the

USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buying them gifts. In Sweden, doing something fo someone is the best gift. People don’t need to 55 too much money. Instead, making a meal for him or her is enough.To make things 56, some people would rather just give money.

In some cultures, however,57 money can make people uncomfortable.“When someone gives me money, it just makes me think they’re being lazy,”says John Wilson.“In England, we have a

saying: It’s the thought that 58. When someone gives me money, I feel they don’t think it about at all. I prefer to receive a gift 59 has some thought behind it.”

A recent research shows that physical activity(体育活动) may helpstudents do better in their classes. The research comes becauseeducators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P.E.class.Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies. Twelve werefrom the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa.The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013. They included morethan 55,000 children, aged six to eighteen.Thomas Singh, one of the researchers, says the studies showed arelationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such asmath, English and reading. Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations(解释):“ There are, first, physiological (生理的) explanations, like moreblood flow, and so more oxygen (氧气) to the brain. Being physicallyactive means there are more hormones（ 荷尔蒙） produced likeendorphins ( 脑内啡). And endorphins make your stress level lowerand your mood improved, which means you will perform better inclass. Also, students who take part in organized sports learn rules andhow to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior andhelp them know what they should do.All in all, the finding tells us that physically active kids are morelikely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should considerthe 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.
