Did you know that something as simple as the wallpaper on your computer can tell people a lot about you? According to researcher Donna Dawson,our computers say something about what we're like because they are part of our “personal space.”

A picture of a child or family on the screen often means the person cares deeply about their loved ones.A photo of the person surrounded by friends shows they value their popularity and probably work well with other people.On the other hand,pictures showing examples of past successes,like winning a prize may mean a person is only interested in themselves.

Pictures of nature and natural scenery tell people that you are driven to succeed and use the pictures to relax and remove the pressure（压力）in your life.Cityscapes,pictures of cities or towns,show that you enjoy travel and adventure.Most people with cityscapes as their wallpaper are optimistic（乐观的）,happy people who feel even better thinking about the places they’ve visited or want to visit.

Pictures of animals show that you are optimistic and kind-hearted.You are often happy and you enjoy life and act young.Cartoons（漫画）or drawings show that you are a multitasker,someone who does many things at once.You have many responsibilities,but you deal with them well.That's one reason you like having something to smile about when you look at your computer wallpaper.

I’ve given my friends cakes in the past as a present. Cakes are usually a very good gift because there is a huge variety of cakes to make. You could make lots of small cakes and decorate them. You could make a fruit cake with cream in the middle. 【小题3】 Even if you’ve never made a cake before, there are lots of books and websites that could help you — have a look in your library, or simply search “how to make a cake” online.

Homemade doesn’t necessarily mean something you have made in the kitchen. 【小题4】For example, collecting together lots of photos and sticking them together in a collage (拼贴画) is a great gift, and very easy to make. I love looking at photos and being reminded of what I was doing, who I was with, where we were. Making a card is very simple as well. All you need is a pen and paper Even if you’ re not very good at drawing, stick men can be funny and cool!

【小题5】 The next time you give someone a present, give something homemade and make it really special.
