My dad was driving to the city center to shop...

My dad was driving to the city center to shop and I was going along for the ride. At least that was what I had told him— 1 I had an important question to ask—that had been on my mind for a couple of weeks and this was the first time I had been able to 2 with him alone.

“Dad…”I started. And 3.

“Yes?” he said.

“The kids say there is no Father Christmas. They say I’m 4 to believe in Father Christmas anymore…it’s only for little kids. But I believe what you told me. Father Christmas is __5. He is, isn’t he, Dad?”

“The real life and spirit of this magical elf (精灵) lives forever in your heart, my heart, Mom’s heart and in the hearts and minds of 6 people who believe in the joy that giving to others brings. The real 7 of Father Christmas becomes what you can give rather what you get. Once you understand this and it becomes 8 of you, Father Christmas becomes even more exciting and more magical because you come to 9 the magic comes from you when Father Christmas lives in your heart. Do you understand what I am 10 to tell you?”

My heart was filled with pride and I’m sure my eyes were shining with 11.” Of course, Dad. I want him to be in my heart, just like he’s in yours. I love you, Daddy. You’re the best Father Christmas who has 12 been in the whole world.”

When it comes time in my life to 13 the reality of Father Christmas to my children, I hope that I will be as eloquent (有口才) and 14 as my dad was the day I learned that the spirit of Father Christmas doesn’t wear a red 15. And I hope they will accept me as I did that day. I’m sure they will.

When I was a kid, my dad worked in a shop in the center of our town. Sometimes, I went to the shop with him and I made a little pocket money by buying things for his workmates. But I never paid attention to all the things and people around me.

One day, as my dad and I were driving to the shop, I looked out of the window of the car and I saw an old man standing at the street corner. There was a rose in his hand, he was smelling the rose. For some reason, our eyes met and we looked at each other for about twenty seconds. There was nothing unusual about this man but the meet was unusual to me. Up to that moment in my life, I had given no thought to anyone on the street, in shops or anywhere else. I had no interest out of my family.

But I was interested in that old man. For the first time I had interest in a stranger. What kind of life had he lived? Where had he been in his time?

Once a great man encouraged us to “stop and smell the rose”. Now I want to tell these words to you. Stop what you are busy with and try to fully understand things and people in your eyesight. If you don’t care about others on your road of life, then you are missing your life itself.

1.How did the writer make a little pocket money?

2.What was the old man doing when I saw him?

3.When did the writer have interest out of his family?

4.What is the main idea of this passage?

Dear Dad,

Today I was at the shopping center and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards. But as I chose and read, and chose and read again, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to say. So I decided to write a letter to you.　　

You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad. You and I will have had 56 Father's Days together. I didn't think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week.I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn't realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.　　

Fifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we'll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don't quite know how to tell you this, Dad …I don't like carrots...but I like planting them with you.

I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Praising a father on Father's Day is about more than a Dad who brings home money or shares a dinner. It's more about a Dad deeply loving children who knows everything and won't listen to anyone. It's about sharing. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and I wish that it would never end.　　

Love,

Jenny

1.Jenny bought a Father's Day card in the shop.

2.Jenny is 28 years younger than her father.

3.Jenny didn't realize her father was too old until last year.

5.From this letter, we can learn that Jenny loves her father deeply.

I took my 9-year-old daughter, Susan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping center. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, "Petting Zoo". The kids jumped up and asked, "Daddy, can we go?"

Both my wife and I were out of work. However；I said, "Sure", giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.

A petting zoo is made up of hundreds of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure（围场）pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.

A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.

She said sadly, "Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter." Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto（座右铭）, which is "Love is Action!"

I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!" for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become art of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It's not only "Love is Action", it's "Love is SACRIFICIAL（牺牲的）Action!" Love always pays a price.

I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin（下巴）resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!
