He wishes the holiday season would end already. His back aches, his red suit feels like a spacesuit, his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours — and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a picnic. As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商业化) across the U. S. and Canada, so must Santas. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen . The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable. For example, “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?” Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story: A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented, “You have nice eyes and nice hair.” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (***扰). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do: The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended. Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don’t see other children again. 56.In the first paragraph, “spokesmen” refers to . A.businessmen B.political leaders C.organisers of the activities D.Santa Clauses 57.The passage implies that the job of Santa Claus is . A.well-paid B.very hard C.worth doing D.dangerous 58.According to the third paragraph, Santas may sometimes be blamed for . A.doing something against the law B.hanging around the dinner table C.being lazy and sleeping in bed for days D.not playing their roles as expected 59.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Christmas: Not a Good Festival for Santas B.Is Santa Claus Really Alive? C.A Christmas Story D.What Does Santa Claus Do for Children? |
My parents were in a huge argument, and 1 was really upset about it. I didn"t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend"s house. Though I knew I wouldn"t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to gelling out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on. I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I"d stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, "Great opportunity." "What is?" I asked. "To talk, you and I" he said. "To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we"re going to do with ourselves now that we"re in the situation we are in." "But we can"t do anything about it. Grandpa," I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same "boat" as I was. And that"s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting Acre in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don"t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be — suddenly, the lights all came hack on. "Well," he said, "I guess that means you"ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!" 56.1 wished to get out of the house because ____ A.
