【題目】The reason why so many of us love gift cards—they’re a lot like cash—is also the reason why they can be hard to replace.If your card is lost or stolen，most retailers are sympathetic，but only if you can prove that you actually purchased，or were gifted，the card.

Preconditions(前提) to replace a gift card

1．Keep the card’s receipt or the gift card number.

2．Put the card number in your mobile wallet.

If you can provide one of those things for the retailer，contact the retailer immediately to look up a missing card.Or you can turn to the generous soul who gave you the card for help.Most retailers maintain tollfree numbers，available on the store’s website and staffed by customer service representatives.They can cancel the card and work on issuing you with a new one.Some retailers，such as Simon Malls，can replace cards over the phone as long as you know the gift card number；others，including Starbucks，replace a lost gift card if you registered online.

Replacement fee

If it’s a store card，you may not even have to pay a replacement fee，but that’s less likely with bankissued gift cards.American Express now offers to replace lost or stolen gift cards for free if you have the original card number，but replacing a Wells Fargo Visa card costs 7.50，or 15 for a check cashing out the remaining funds on the card.

Without proof of ownership

Even if you never wrote down the number and the receipt is long gone，you’re not entirely out of luck.If you already used the gift card to shop online，your data may still be stored in your account—and you can spend it down quickly.

【1】You can probably replace a lost or stolen gift card if you .

A. have opened a mobile wallet account

B. have registered the information of the card online

C. write a letter to American Express to explain the loss

D. apply for a new one to customer service representatives

【2】When can you most likely replace your lost or stolen gift card for free?

A. The card is issued by a bank.

B. You have already used the card to shop online.

C. You enter the appointed website to report the loss.

D. You have the original card number of American Express.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【解析】這篇文章主要講了很多人喜歡禮品卡的原因。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由文中的“others，including Starbucks，replace a lost gift card if you registered online”可知答案。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章Replacement fee部分第二句中的“American Express now offers to replace lost or stolen gift cards for free if you have the original card number”可知，美國運通公司現(xiàn)在提出免費更換丟失或被盜的禮品卡，前提是你有原始卡號。故答案為D。

【題目】Jonathan Lawler loves to work the land.For seven years，he operated Lawler Farms，a forprofit produce farm，harvesting nearly 700,000 pounds of food annually.

Now he’s on a mission to feed the hungry in Central Indiana.Lawler has turned his 36acre farm into a nonprofit operation called Brandywine Creek Farms.His goal for the first year is to donate 500,000 pounds of food，which he said is realistic based on the farm’s produce capacity(產(chǎn)量) and the addition of a large number of volunteers to help through the season. On top of that，Lawler has worked together with Gleaners，Midwest Food Bank，Kenneth Butler Soup Kitchen and other area food banks as distribution partners.

Lawler，who also owns a transportation consulting firm that helps pay the bills，says his 15yearold son inspired him to start thinking differently when it came to his farm.“He came home from school and talked about kids who take home food from the food bank，”Lawler said.“My awareness of hunger was limited to the homeless in Downtown Indianapolis.The last place I would expect it is in a rural farming community like where I live.”As he began to look around，he realized that the farms in Hancock and surrounding counties produce tons of corn，soybeans and wheat，“but nothing you can just pick up and eat，” he said.

Lawler and most of his neighbors are selfsufficient(自給自足的)．They grow what they need or have access to quality food at supermarkets.If he needs something he didn’t grow himself，he can jump in his truck and drive 12 minutes to the nearest store.“But for someone who doesn’t have reliable transportation，that 12minute drive could be a twohour hike，” he said.

【1】Lawler was inspired to donate food by .

A. his son

B. his neighbors

C. the hungry kids

D. the homeless in his town

【2】We can know from the passage that Lawler .

A. is selfsufficient in quality food

B. changed Gleaners into a food bank

C. donates 700,000 pounds of food annually

D. thought there was no hunger in farming communities

【3】Which of the following can best describe Lawler?

A. Kind and generous.

B. Brave and successful.

C. Confident and modest.

D. Ambitious and hardworking.
