A

Unlike the majority of my friends，I wasn’t introducedto the cheerful guy until my second grade．My family emigrated from Taiwan to a small town in central Georgia．I had just learned English，and from what I could gather fr，om my classmates，there was this guy who would come down one’s chimney and put toys in one’s stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country，I thought．After looking up stocking in my Chinese—English dictionary, I knew what I had to do．On that night，after everyone went to bed，I took my longest，cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already over the fireplace．Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character．Unfortunately，my parents were．

I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireptace．But I was hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever told．I burst into tears，quickly took down the sock and pushed it in the back of a drawer．Santa was dead．

How could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago，on Christmas Eve，an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front door．He handed me a fat red stocking and left．On top of the stocking was a card，reading：“For Becky-I may have missed you in the second grade，but you’ve always lived in my heart．Santa．”

Tears rolled in my eyes as I recognized the graceful handwriting of Jill，a friend I had met just two months before．The older man was her father．Jill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the tired thirty-something woman and decided to do something about it．

So now I believe that Santa is real．I don’t mean the creation of American holiday marketers．Those Santas annoy and sadden me．I believe in the Santa Claus that lives inside good and thoughtful people．This Santa does not return to the North Pole after a 24-hour delivery but lives each day，really listens to friends，and then plans acts of kindness．

31．When the author learned about the story of Santa Claus，she ．

A．considered it stupid B．took it for granted

C．felt excited about it D．thought it a business trick

32．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph indicates that the author’s parents .

A．had no idea about the Christmas tradition

B．were quite familiar with the former house owner

C．had a lot of misfortunes living there

D．didn’t have the luck to see a real Santa Claus

33．From the second paragraph，we are sure that the author

A．didn’t like any fantasy stories

B．was too young to find Santa Claus

C．was easy to lose her temper

D．felt hurt deep inside then

34．What does the author think about Jill and her father?

A．troublesome B．funny C．considerate D．brave

35．Now the author takes the Santa Claus as

A．a way of entertainment

B．a symbol of kindness

C．a creation of holiday marketers

D．a terrible memory

B

In a nation with a one—child family planning policy，it’s understandable for parents to worry over whether they are petting their children．Are the children truly as fragile as sometimes made out to be?

The concern has been brought into focus with the popularity of a hit reality TV series，Hunan TV’s Dad! Where Are We Going? and Zhejiang TV’s First Time In Life．In both，children as young as three have become new public figures．In the First Time

show，children chosen from ordinary families are given small tasks to complete by themselves；the ongoing Dad! show centres on five celebrity fathers and their children who are forced to live a simple life in rural areas，far outside their comfort zone．

Regardless of their family background，the children’s reactions to new environments have struck the public．

In one episode of Dad! , the five-year-old daughter of former Olympic diving champion Tian Liang cries and hides behind her father when they arrive at a rural village．In an episode of the other series，a young girl in Tianjin breaks down into a tearful fit after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a pancake．

In the eyes of some observers，these kids show no sense of independence，and the reason is put down to parents who are overly sheltering．But television viewers and parents were heartened when the sobbing Tianjin girl finally wiped away her tears as she returned holding the pancake．In the case of Tian’s daughter，she eventually began to take care of her younger companions and learned to seek help from people she didn’t know．

The father of the Tianjin girl felt “delightfully shocked” and said．“She used to have to be accompanied by her mother or grandmother．Now she has the courage to do it all by herself．”

The shows have led many parents to change how they raise their children．Shanghai mother Liang Jing said she would try to “give some training” to her shy son，asking him to tidy up his toys．Lin Yi，a parenting expert in Beijing，said giving kids a chance to do things for themselves helps to raise their sense of achievement，which carries benefits throughout their lives．”
