I had just learned English, and from what little I coul

2、d gather from my classmates, Santa Claus would come down ones chimney and put toys in ones stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do.On that fateful night, after everyone went to bed, I took my l

3、ongest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel(壁炉). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character.I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplace. To make a sob story short, I was hit with the reality of an

4、 empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I burst into tears, quickly took down the sock, and stuffed it in the back of a drawer. Santa was dead.Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I would amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to

5、make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry.How could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front door. He said, “Ive been looking for you for twenty-five years.” He handed me a bulging red stocking, winke

6、d, and left. On top of the stocking was a card. It read: “For BeckyI may have missed you in the second grade, but youve always lived in my heart. Santa.”Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting of Jill, a friend I had met just two months before. I later discovered that the older man w

7、as her father. Jill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the thirty-something woman and decided to do something about it.So now I believe that Santa is real. I dont mean the twinkle-eyed character of childrens mythology or the creation of American holiday marketers. Those Santas annoy and sadden

8、 me. I believe in the Santa Claus that live inside good and thoughtful people. This Santa does not return to the North Pole after a crazy delivery but lives each day purposefully, really listens to friends, and then plans deliberate acts of kindness.1.What does the underlined part “what I had to do”

9、 in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Waiting for Santa Claus.1B. Putting a stocking on the mantel.C. Asking for gifts from her parents.D. Looking up “stocking” in the dictionary2.

11、hool studentC. a middle-aged womanD. a native AmericanBA recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors( 客厅 ) where loved pets rest. Are Americ

12、ans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million poun

13、ds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his mon

14、ey to his dog instead of his children.There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of

15、 large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies a disease with no known cure.Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only

16、 when the sweet little thing has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on Rover or Bonzo. Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someones pet and you must have read of c

17、hildren being hurt by some pets of their own.Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, its time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical ex

18、periments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, “keep cutting!”5.

27、his body the brain.It may be surprising to learn that it isnt age that makes you lose your memory. The reason could be that you have a lazy memory, not an old one. Like your body your memory improves with exercise. Once given plenty of exercise, the brain keeps its power. Before discussing how to im

28、prove the memory, lets look at how the brain works. There are two sides to the brain, the left and the right. The right side deals with the senses (what we see, hear, feel and smell). Its the creative and imaginative side. The left side is concerned with logic. It analyzes information and puts it in

29、 order.Some recent research suggests that we remember everything that happens to us. The problem most of us has is recalling events. Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. An hour after learning something new, more than 50% has been forgotten. After a month, 80% has been forgotten,

30、and so on.This shows revision is very important. If you revise new material you have learnt, you remember much more. So its of vital importance to revise newly learned material often, and have frequent breaks. We best remember what we learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point wher

31、e we stop. After the break, revise what was learned before the break and then continue learning the new material. These breaks should happen every 20 or 45 minutes.Other experiments have shown the brain needs time to digest what has been learned. The time necessary for this is 5 to 10 minutes. After

32、 the break, the memory will have absorbed what it has just learned, and more will be remembered. During this period it is important to exercise the right side of the brain, because the left side is used during the learning period. Therefore you should relax. Listening to music, breathing in fresh ai

33、r, and looking at a picture are all ways of using the other side of the brain. So when you are studying alone, make a plan which shows when to have breaks and to revise newly learned material immediately before you begin studying again. If you do in this way, your memory will improve.12. According t
