(2017·湖南省麓山国际实验学校模拟) Low-Cost Gifts for Mother's Day
Gift No.1
Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctors' visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need”， but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.
Gift No. 2
Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. “Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life，” Dr. Marie Savard said.
Gift No. 3
Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep.” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”
Gift No. 4
Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善机构). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things—many of which are “green”——and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.
1．What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor's visits? A．Take notes. C．Be with her.

答案与解析
本文是一篇应用文，题材是广告。作者介绍了4则母亲节期间为母亲提供的礼物的广告。 1．C 细节理解题。根据第一则广告中的“Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.”(不管是疾病检查还是定期的医疗检查，你都一定要陪母亲看医生)。可知C正确。
2．C 细节理解题。根据题干关键词“improve your mother's sleep”定位第三则广告中的“Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep.”(给母亲买棉床单和舒适的枕头，让母亲睡眠更好)，由此可知C正确。
3．D 推理判断题。文章最后一段提到Presents for Purpose，联系该段中的“she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.”可知，这个礼物可以让母亲给别人提供帮助。故D正确。
