One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).
On September11th.1958.Mum gave birth to Richard.After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying."I promised you a gift, and here it is." What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night.I sang to it.I told it stories.1 told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty.My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever.For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming."Don’t expect any presents this year." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room."If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough." As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears.I'd never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say."What? He's all right?" He hung up and shouted upstairs."The hospital said we can bring Richard home!" "Thank God.'" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them happy.And I was also full of joy.What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home.I downstairs.My sacks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

Last Christmas, I wanted to give the woman 1. cleans my apartment a nice gift in 2. (appreciate). Since I know she doesn’t have much money, I decided 3. (write) her a generous check so she could use it however she wanted. I put it in an attractive card with a photo of a cat and a dog on 4. (it) cover because she loves animals.
The card came with a nice message, and I also added a personal message in which I thanked her 5. her good services, wishing her the best for the coming year and for her dreams coming true.
6. (tear) of gratitude rolled down her face when she saw my message, before she even saw the check! She said, “You took the time to write me a personal message; now I feel really 7. (love). I’m going to save this card for 8. rest of my life!”
This reminds me that what people really want is to be acknowledged and appreciated, and to know that they matter. This is what’s really important when 9. (give) a gift. In this case it 10. (obvious) was not about the money, but about making a sincere heart connection.

Every time I lost a tooth I would put it under my pillow at night. The next morning I would wake up to find two coins replacing my tooth. Then I'd wonder about the tooth fairy all day.
“Mom, where do you think the tooth fairy lives? What does she do with the teeth she collects?”
My mom said she didn't know. She only knew that the tooth fairy took the tooth away while we were sleeping and left us some money under our pillow. But I wanted to find out. So I think it was a good thing that I would lose another tooth. The plan was to stay up all night and ask the tooth fairy when she showed up.
That night I lay quietly in my bed, growing sleepy as the night went on. Moments later, I felt that someone was close to me. Through my half-opened eyes, I didn't see any feet, but I knew it was the tooth fairy. I watched her run around and fly right out of my room. She was wearing a shiny green dress. After she left, I immediately felt under my pillow. There were two coins. I had never even felt my pillow move. I wondered if she used magic.
As I got older, I learned from my teachers that the tooth fairy didn't exist. It was just a mythical figure of early childhood. I kind of thought it was, but how could I see the tooth fairy fly that night?
Then one night my mom came into my room to check on me. The moonlight was bright that night and it shone through my window right on her shiny green nightdress. Right then I knew deep down that my mom was the tooth fairy.
1.As a young girl, the author ________.
A. was afraid of the tooth fairy

A. she could get some coins
B. she disliked her baby teeth
C. she wanted to help her mother solve a mystery
D. she believed the tooth fairy would come again
3.When the author felt someone was close to her, she ________.

I have received many Christmas gifts over the years. The best gift I ever received was presented to me by a stranger. I never even knew his name and I only had contact with him for less than 60 seconds. His Christmas present to me changed the way I think about people and about Christmas.
I hate Black Friday sales. It’s often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their purposes completely have nothing to do with the festive time of year, and can just be summed up with one word, “Cheap!”
It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle(口哨). I told my wife that if we got a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.
As the number of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my “polite” opportunity to reach my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it and suddenly felt some mild resistance(阻力). I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his appearance. He was wearing lots of straps of metal spiked leather(带有柳钉的皮带) around both arms and even his neck. Still, tattoos(纹身) were an obvious love of his.
I started to return the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a stranger that broke all prejudice(偏见) I may have had of certain types of people. The softness of a human heart can be seen in a simple act. I will never forget it.
1.What may be the best title of the passage?
A. The Best Christmas Gift.
B. A Child’s Bike.
C. Black Friday Sales.
D. A Handsome Stranger.
2.Why do many people go to Black Friday sales?
A. Because they can make money.
B. Because they hope to find a bargain.
C. Because it’s a way to celebrate Christmas.
D. Because it’s a place to get things free of charge.
3.What does the underlined word “purchase” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. devote
B. solve
C. buy
D. save
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A. All roads lead to Rome.
B. It’s never too old to study.
C. You cannot clap with one hand.
D. Men cannot be judged by their appearances
