The Spirit of Christmas
Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true 1 of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the 2 example of this.
A Christmas Carol is a famous novel 3 by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never 4 or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about 5 , and doesn’t treat others 6 . He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead 7 business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he 8 . He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits 9 him. That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his 10 and reminds Scrooge of his 11 days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody 12 . Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He 13 happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gift s to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and 14 , spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!

show father America be anything much three them child mother
Do you know that there 1 are two special days for parents in America? One is 2 Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the 3 third Sunday of June. On these two days, 4 American children oft en give gifts to 5 their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for 6 fathers. I heard that it is becoming 7 more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if 8 children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways 9 to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do 10 something instead.

Once I spoke at a high school. After the speech, the principal asked me to see a special student. An 1 had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.
He was Matthew. 2 he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told 3 would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. He spoke about 4 and succeeding and seeking（追寻）his dreams.
When we finished talking, I went to my 5 and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about 6 and overcoming obstacles（克服障碍）than I ever would. He looked at it for a while, then took it off and handed it 7 to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I got the news that Matthew had 8 and a letter Matthew had written to me a few days before: Dear Rick,
My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter. The doctors are 9 to tell me that I don't have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.
I told you that in the future I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I'll 10 . I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me. Your friend Matthew

polite many usual China good be direct lead correct express
Could You Please ...?
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests for 1 to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question 2 . We also need
to learn how to be polite by 3 less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help. In English, as in 4 , we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The 5 you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to
your teacher, “When is the school trip?”, this might sound 6 . But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?”, this will sound 7 more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates. 8 polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time 9 in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.
It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become 10 at English, or any other language you wish to speak.

A famous building in New York City is turning 100 years old. A year-long celebration is planned for Grand Central Terminal, which is usually called Grand Central station, the sixth most-visited place in the world.
The huge building has not changed much since it opened in February, 1913. About 750,000 people pass through Grand Central every day. Some just come to look at it, others to visit the stores. But most are there to catch the trains that enter and leave from the station. It is the largest train station in the world. There are 67 train tracks, all of them underground.
The main part of the building has large, arched windows, a jeweled four-sided clock and ticket windows. Grand Central has been seen in many movies through the years. Dan Brucker is with the New York Transit Authority, which operates the station. Dan Brucker has worked for the transit authority at Grand Central for 30 years. In all those years, he has not lost his interest in the building.
Justin Ferate, a historian, has been giving tours of Grand Central Station for 30 years. He says the station was designed to make travel a pleasure.
“Why people don't run into each other in Grand Central is simple: each block of stone in Grand Central is the length of your leg. Each block of stone in Grand Central is the length of your arm. Each block of stone is a different color, so it’s a checkerboard, based on you.” A ten-year-long fight against plans to build a huge office building over Grand Central in 1968 helped create the modern preservation（保护） movement. Now, no one would think of changing the beauty of the station.
1.How long has Grand Central been in service ?

A．have worked for the station for 30 years B．have given tours of the station for 30 years C．show interest in the station
