His name is Santa Claus.He lives in the North Pole and sends presents to children in a magic sled(雪橇)that is pulled by flying reindeer(驯鹿).It sounds crazy, but Santa Claus is very popular. Small children around the world even leave food out for Santa and his reindeer on the night before Christmas. When they wake up in the morning, some of the food is eaten and there are presents under the Christmas tree.As you grow older you learn that Santa is not real and it is in fact just your parents. I was about 7 or 8 years old when I figured it out for myself. But that doesnt stop people celebrating Christmas in the same way.So where did Santa Claus e from? Santa was actually a real man called Saint Nicholas, which sounds very similar to Santa Claus. He was born about 2,000 years ago in the Roman Empire. He was a very kind priest who would travel the country to help people, giving gifts late at night. He did not like to be seen giving gifts, so children were encouraged to go to sleep quickly. Nothing has changed today, with Santa Claus not visiting until all the children are asleep.The United States version of Santa Claus was started when Dutch settlers arrived about 400 years ago. They called him Sinter Klass and that was slowly changed to Santa Claus over the years. Once big panies like Coca Cola began to use Santa Claus in their advertisements, he quickly became a symbol of Christmas.24. Which of the following about Santa Claus is NOT true according to the traditional story?A. He is very popular during Christmas. B. He lives in the North Pole.C. He sends presents to kids in a sled. D. He is a poor man with no food to eat.25. When he knew the fact about Santa, the writer _.A. didnt believe his parentsB. didnt enjoy Christmas anymoreC. still celebrated ChristmasD. celebrated Christmas in a different way26. What do we know about Saint Nicholas?a. He was born in the Roman Empire.b. He was a very kind priest.c. He used gifts to make kids go to sleep quickly.d. He asked Santa Claus to do his job for him.A. abB. acC. bcD. bd27. What does the last paragraph talk about?A. The United States version of Santa Claus.B. How US people celebrate Christmas.C. History of the United States. D. Coca Cola and Santa Claus.COld age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people bee happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85. people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in xx. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fiftiesThe study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However. women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They so spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistryThe researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.28.

It was a hot day and they wanted a nice cool treat. So I said yes. Plus the McSpiders are amazing for only $2!So off we went. As I ordered I remembered a mitment I made to myself a year ago.The mitment that every time I drive through the drive way I pay for the car behind me. I made this mitment because I go through the drive way about 4 times a year. So its an easy one to keep. As I drove around to pay the cashier the $6 for our order I really did not want to do this. I didnt want to pay or offer to pay for the car pulling up behind me.In my head I began to talk myself out of it. Its OK Nicole, you dont have to. You havent much money or work this week. And what if its a $40 order or more! Thats when the other voice stepped in. It said, This is exactly the time you need to do it! When you dont WANT to. Its easy and good when your in the mood, happy and full of cash. But love and kindness doesnt work that way. It isnt conditional and only given when it suits you!So I did it. I paid for the car behind.I asked the cashier to add the car behinds order to my card. Which thankfully was only $2.95. Can you believe it. $2.95!Anyway, that isnt the point. The point is that I did it. And doing it I pletely made someones day, and reminded them that there is love and kindness in this world. And to think . I almost didnt. I almost kept that $2.95 to myself!32. What does the word “McSpiders” in paragraph 1 probably refer to? A. A kind of small animals that can run quickly. B. A kind of service provided by restaurant.
