It was Christmas Eve. When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn't fall asleep. He sill couldn't think of what he wanted as a special Christmas _________. He wondered how Santa — Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn't know himself.
As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny _________ a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man ________ Santa left for his next stop.
By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs, everything was silent again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little _________, Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.
“Hello,”said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”
He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown__________ with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers(鹿角)on its head. Bunny almost_________it for a dog.
“Are you a reindeer?" asked Bunny.

Do you still remember the debate(讨论) between sweet and salty zongzi during Dragon Boat Festival? It seems that the differences between northerners and southerners have always been a popular topic among Chinese. Now another difference has drawn wide attention: The way northerners and southerners shop for food at markets.
People from southern China might say they prefer to buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy just half a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual, reported China Daily.
Also, when you go to the market in the south, you can buy a small amount of fruit, such as an apple or pear. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But hardly do shop owners in the north offer such service.
The difference could be because of the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northerners have the habit of stocking up（储存）on food.
But because of the hot and wet weather in the south, southern Chinese prefer to buy just enough food for one meal or one day. Otherwise, the food may go bad.
Maybe these debates about differences help us Chinese know more about each other.
1.Give the article a title.(within 9 words)____________________________________.
2.People from south buy_____________ than those in north at a time.
3.The ways of shopping are different in the two aspects(方面): ________and ________.
4.________________________causes the difference.
5.According to the writer, the advantage (好处) of these debates is possibly to________.
