Suddenly she dropped the bomb: “There is no Santa Claus!” I fled to Grandma and told her everything. “No Santa Claus? Ridiculous!（荒谬的）Dont believe it. Now, put on your coat, and lets go.”We went to Kerbys General Store. Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money and buy something for someone who needs it. Ill wait for you in the car.” Then she walked out of Kerbys.Never had I shopped for anything all by myself. For a few moments I just stood there wondering what to buy, and who on earth to buy it for. Suddenly I thought of Bobby Decker. He sat right behind me in grade-two class. His mother always wrote a note, saying he had a cough, but all we kids knew Bobby Decker didnt have a cough:he didnt have a good coat.I settled on a red coat. It looked really warm. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. “Yes.” I replied shyly. “Its for Bobby.” The lady smiled at me, as I told her about how Bobby really needed a good winter coat. I didnt get any change, but she put the coat in a bag, smiled again, and wished me a Merry Christmas.That evening, Grandma helped me wrap（穿上）the coat(a little tag fell out of the coat, and Grandma put it in her Bible) in Christmas paper and ribbons and wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it. Then she drove me to Bobby Deckers house. I threw the presesnt down on his step, knocked at his door and flew back to the safety of the bushes. Together we waited breathlessly for the front door to open. Finally it did, and there stood Bobby.Fifty years havent dimmed the thrill of those moments spent shivering（颤抖的）beside my Grandma in Bobby Deckers bushes. I still have the Bible, with the coat tag inside:$19.95.59. The real price of the coat was .A. $10B. $19.95C. $29.95D. $9.9560.

Santa Claus is alive and wellCIn Chinese customs, red is the main color for weddings. It is used in different ways as it signifies love, joy and happiness. The brides wedding gown（女礼服）is often red, the wedding invitations, gift boxes and envelopes are red and the bride and the grooms homes are decorated in red on the wedding day.Before the wedding, the married couples from the grooms family visit the brides place with gifts in red baskets and boxes. One of those baskets has milk honey. Three days before the wedding, the women from the brides family bring return-gifts to the grooms family.On the wedding day, the groom arrives at the brides place on his way to the chapel（佛堂）. The groom has to give gifts in cash wrapped in red paper to the brides friends for letting her go.

Just after the wedding ceremony, the bride serves tea to her parents in-laws as a tradition. The couples will then go to get wedding pictures. Then a reception（宴会）will follow.In the reception, a welcome speech is followed by a cake cutting ceremony.

How people get married in Italy todayDBy the time a student starts to apply (申请) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非学业的) tasks, which are important to improve the students chances of getting in.1. After-school activities When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (数量). Admissions (录取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (组织) for a short period of time. Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success. Thus, for students, choosing an activity that interests him/her at the beginning is important.2. Leadership Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉献) and responsibility. If you do not have a great title (头衔) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (参与) in school activities shows you are the responsible person that admissions officers look for.3. Consistency (一致性) Admissions officers like an application (申请) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特别地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest.Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否则) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的) things.67. Who was the article written for?A. US college students hoping to study in China. B. Chinese college students ho
