Jane was on her way home at around 6 o’clock. It was getting dark. As she drove into her community, she noticed a man.
She saw the man walking along the sidewalk next to some houses. He didn’t live in any of those houses. She had seen this man several times before. He looked like a criminal (罪犯).
She drove by him. He looked at her car as she drove by. She continued driving and watched him in her rear view mirror (后视镜). She got to the corner and stopped. She continued to watch him walking in her direction. Suddenly, he turned left up a driveway (车道). A red SUV was parked in the driveway right next to the sidewalk. She saw him walk up to the driver’s door and put his hand on the handle (把手). Then he returned to the sidewalk and went on to walk in her direction.
“What is that all about?” Jane wondered. Then she realized that he had tested the door to see if it was locked. “He is a criminal,” she thought. “That’s what he does. He just walks in our neighborhood looking for cars to break into.”
She called the police and described the man. The police officer said he knew who the man was. The people in the community called two or three times this week to report him walking by. But the police couldn’t arrest him for walking around unless they caught him with stolen things. “But he was testing that SUV door to see if it was unlocked,” she said.
“I’m sorry,” said the officer. “That’s not against the law. If you see him actually steal something, please give us a call.”

When we think of chocolate, many of us think of candy bars and sweet. But this is not how chocolate comes to us. In fact, it comes from the cacao tree that is found in the tropical(热带的) forests of Central and South America, because cacao beans need to grow in a hot and humid climate (湿热的气候) . The Mayas knew that they could get food and drink from the tree. The Aztecs often took the cacao beans and broke them into pieces in hot water, making a drink that was delicious and energy-producing for the body.
When Columbus and Cortez came to America, they shipped cacao beans back to Spain. However, at first few people accepted the drink because the taste was strange. When Columbus gave the information back to the Spanish Queen and King that one cup of chocolate from the cacao beans could provide a whole day’s energy for a man without the need for other food, attitudes(态度) quickly changed.
The need and the cost for chocolate produced by the cacao beans rose sharply. Soon all Europeans had fallen in love with chocolate. But chocolate was so expensive at that time that only the riches could afford this confection (甜食). At first, too much chocolate made people sick because more than half of the cacao bean is formed from fat, and few people knew how to remove the too much fat content(脂肪含量). Perhaps that is how we arrived at the expression, “Too much of a good thing can be bad for you.”

How to beat sadness
We all have days when we are down, tired and unhappy. That’s OK. You need days like this, or how would you know you are happy? You’ll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadness is a part of life, let’s try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.
1. Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow(流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.
2. Smile! It’s easy to do and have good results. This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring others a good mood.
3. Listen to music. It can be your favourite music. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.
4. Take some “me” time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that.
5. Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.
These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don’t just use them when you are sad. Try and practice them every day to make them a habit. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away. But if you are in a deep depression(沮丧), go to see a doctor.

When we think of heroes, we often think of strong, brave people. But anyone can be a hero. A hero is someone who helps another person in the difficulties or danger. Fred Hollows was such a person.
Fred Hollows was born in New Zealand and became an eye doctor. He believed that all people, rich and poor, should have good medical treatment. After he began working as an eye doctor in Australia, he learned that many Aboriginal(土著的) Australians had eye disease because of dirty environment and bad health. He set up a program to help people take care of their eyes. Because of his work, many Aboriginal people could see again and fewer Aboriginal people became blind. Later, Fred Hollows learned blindness was also a big problem in Africa. Many people in Africa needed small eye Surgical operation(外科手术) to cure(治愈) their blindness. The cost of this surgery was only twenty-five dollars. But that is a lot of money to a poor person in Africa. There were also no doctors to help. Fred Hollows wanted to help the people in Africa. But he couldn't go to Africa because he had become sick. So he started the Fred Hollows Foundation. This foundation collected donations from people in rich countries. This money provided equipment for eye surgeries and helped to train doctors. The foundation helped thousands of people to see again. Unfortunately, Fred Hollows died before the foundation began its wonderful work in Africa and then other countries. Now the foundation helps save the eyesight(视力) of poor people all over the world. Even after his death, Fred Hollows is still helping people. He is a true hero.

Many would agree that when we think of Christmas， we probably think of gifts， Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.
A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge. He only thinks about himself and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve， Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley， his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge， so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.
That night， three ghosts visit Scrooge. First， the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit， the Ghost of Christmas Present， takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy， even poor people. The last one， the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come， takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth， spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!
1.Who wrote the novel A Christmas Carol?(No more than two words)
2.What is Scrooge like before the three spirits visit him?
3.Why was Jacob Marley punished after he died?
4.Which spirit takes him to the future? (No more than five words)
5.What is the true meaning of Christmas?

A young man traveled by train. As it was running across a wild land, the passengers looked out of windows without aims.
When the train came near a turning, it slowed down and then a simple house came into view. It was the only house the passengers saw on such a long journey. Everybody on the train admired it with eyes wide open. Some passengers even began a discussion about it.
The young man was also impressed by the scene. On his return, he got off the train at the nearest station from the house and found his way there. Its owner told him he was troubled by the noise of the train and that he wanted to sell the house but nobody would buy it.
Soon the young man paid 30,000 dollars for the house, thinking it a wonderful place for advertisement. It faced the railway turning, where the train had to slow down and the bored passengers would cast their eyes at the house to refresh their minds.
The young man tried to contact big companies and make them realize the place was the perfect for advertisement. Finally the Coca-Cola Company put up an advertisement on the house. The young man got 180,000 dollars for three year’s rent.
