The last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t sleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted his Christmas gift to be. He wondered how Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.

As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof (屋顶) and a sound downstairs. It was Father Christmas, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to have a look at the old man with his own eyes.

By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Beautiful gifts were piled (堆积) under the Christmas tree, but Father Christmas was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late. 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 gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have mistaken it for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers (鹿角) on its head.

“Are you a reindeer (别鹿)?” asked Bunny.

“Yes,” replied the animal. “My name is Ralph.”

“And you were pulling Father Christmas’s led (雪橇)?”

“I was until I got airsick (晕机),” replied Ralph. “I’m afraid I wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”

“Well, if you like, yon can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the gift he wanted from Father Christmas was a new friend!

1.Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?

A.He was thinking of what gift he would get.

B.He was disturbed by a big noise.

C.He had a lot of things to do.

D.He wanted to have a look at the reindeer.

2.What do the underlined words “cut out for” in paragraph 9 mean?

A.Afraid of. B.Fit for.

C.Proud of. D.Interested in.

3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Strange Christmas Tree B.A Lovely Reindeer

C.A Quiet but Smart Boy D.A Special Christmas Gift

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought. We bought the latest rage, Baby Sitter's Club dolls, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she "really wanted a bike more than anything else." It was just too late, with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last minute gifts, to take the time to select the "right bike" for our little girl. It was Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m.. Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, lay comfortably in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. "What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (黏土) and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?" her dad asked. "This is an expensive item and she is 'such a big girl,' it would be much better for her to pick it out." So he spent the next four hours painstakingly (尽心地) working with clay to make a tiny bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. "Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?" Beaming, I said, "Yes." Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike." At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!

1.Choose the right time order of the following events.

a. The girl asked for a new bike.

b. The girl opened the little heart-shaped package.

c. The parents bought the girl a modern and popular doll.

d. The father made the girl a bike with clay.

e. The girl would rather keep the clay bike than get a real one.

A. a, b, c, e, d　　 B. a, c, d, b, e

C. a, c, b, d, e　　 D. a, b, d, c, e

2.Why did Dad make the clay bicycle?

A. He wanted his daughter to buy a real one.

B. He didn't want to disappoint his daughter.

C. He thought his daughter would like it.

D. He wanted to give his daughter a surprise.

3.What can be inferred from the last sentence?

A. The parents were happy and encouraged.

B. The parents felt comfortable and relaxed.

C. The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl.

D. The parents felt disappointed and sorry for the girl.

4.Which do you think is the best title for the story?

A. A Lovely Little Girl

B. A Great and Serious Father

C. A Clay Bike

D. Christmas Shopping
