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 (驯鹿)?” asked Bunny.
“Yes,” replied the animal, “my name is Ralph.”
“And you were pulling Father Christmas' sled (雪橇)?”
“I was until I got airsick,” 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, you 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 had a lot of things to do. B.He was disturbed by a big noise.
C.He was thinking of what gift he would get. D.He wanted to have a look at the reindeer.
2.As soon as Bunny came downstairs, he _____.
A.was probably very sad B.found what he wanted
C.ran into a reindeer D.heard a loud cry
3.What would be the best title for the text?

It was a cold rainy day and it was the day before Thanksgiving — the first one that my three children and I would be spending without their father, who passed away a year ago. Now the two children were ill with the flu. I hurried around, trying to look after each child. I found the children had no fruits. But what almost broke me down was that I only had $2.50 left –and this should last until the end of the month.
That is when I heard the phone ring. It was the secretary from our former church, and she told me that they had been thinking about us and had something to give us. I went to the church before lunch. The secretary met me and handed me two currency notes (现金券), each worth$20. I was so moved that I cried.
Then I drove to a supermarket for the children. The things cost me a little over $14.00, and I handed the note to the cashier (收银员). She took it and looked at it for a long time. I thought something might be wrong and told her that I was a single mother and how I got it. With tears in her eyes, the cashier said that she had prayed (祈祷) that morning to help others who were in need, and I gave her the chance. She added a turkey to my basket, and took out two $20 bills and paid for my things. Once again I was moved to tears.
1.Where was the farther of the children?
A.Go abroad. B.At work.
C.In the hospital. D.Died.
2.What most made the mother sad?
A.She only had $2.50 left. B.It was cold outside.

It was on a warm day last summer. I was walking by the sea. The waves came and went. But I didn’t see them. I was lost in my thoughts.
A row of small holes soon caught my eyes. They lay in the sandy earth by the side of a road. In a minute I would have stepped on them.
What are these holes? I wondered. It had an answer soon. A fat, hairy insect crawled up from the earth. It had a wide tail. It was using the tail to dig in the ground.
The insect moved round and round in one spot(地点). Soon it had made another hole. When it was finished, the insect hid at the bottom. It covered its head with sand.
By now my thoughts of the early morning had gone. This new hole and the insect were all my world. So I sat quite still by the side of the road. And I waited.
As I watched, a small ant crossed the road. It passed my foot, and then it crossed the sandy earth. In a little while it reached the edge of the hole. I saw it start to fall in. The ant tried to turn back. But it couldn’t.
And then I knew. I knew why the holes were there. For just then the fat insect came up out of the hole. It ate the ant who was trapped there.
Later I learned the insect’s name. It’s called ant lion. It digs holes to catch ants.
I’ll never forget that day. The holes looked so small to me. But to the ant and the ant lion they were the whole world.
I took my walks by the sea that summer. But I never again learned as much as I did on the one.
1. What did the ant lion use to dig holes?
A. Its tail B. Its feet. C. Its head D. Its whole body
2. Why did the ant lion hide in the hole?
A. To keep the sun away B. So no one would catch it.
C. So the ant wouldn’t see it D. To keep warm.

It was a day I’d been waiting for. I had seen a few lift-offs(升空)on vision before, but this one was special. It was Apollo 11. The astronauts were headed for the Moon, just to orbit, as Apollo 8 and Apollo 10 had done a few months earlier. This time, people would actually walk on it!
I had a hard time getting through the next three days until Apollo 11 reached the Moon. I was glued to the television. Finally, Sunday morning arrived. After eating dinner, my family gathered in the living room. Our new television offered the best picture of the upcoming events. Luckily, I had read many books on space flight. I was familiar with the technical phrases, being discussed between Mission Control Center and the astronauts.,
Then, we heard the countdown to the undocking(出舱)of the Eagle, the Lunar Module (LM), from the Columbia, the Command and Service Module. None of us paid much attention to the background chatter. If we had, we would have realized that the descent(降落)was not going well. A loud master alarm kept sounding inside the LM. If it continued, the astronauts would have to stop the descent. But in our excitement, we didn’t realize what was happening. Then we saw that the astronauts had reached the Moon. We all gave a loud cheer when Armstrong said his famous words as the LM touched down: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
Even though I was only eight years old, I sensed the importance of that moment. Looking back at it, I feel a little sad that there has been nothing quite like that since. But we have our sight set on Mars now. To get to Mars, we will need to visit the Moon again. That excites me. I’d love to see another moonwalk. I hope that kids will watch, as I did, the images(影像)of humans on another planet. Perhaps the next moonwalkers will change the lives of those viewers, as Armstrong and Aldrin changed my life 50 years ago.
1.What can we learn about the author when he was young?
A.He liked watching TV B.He was crazy about reading.
C.He wanted to be an astronaut. D.He was interested in space flight.
2.Why did the author ignore the background chatter?
A.He didn’t know the technical phrases. B.He paid his attention to the alarm.
C.He was too excited. D.He was too young.
3.What would be the best title for the text?
A.A magical moment. B.A happy childhood.
C.A return to the Moon. D.A goal of visiting Mars.

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!

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?
