這是一個黑色幽默，饑寒交迫的老婦，萬般無奈，只好求助于上帝，幫助她的不是上帝而是警察，可警察在人們心中的印象卻是“凡被警察碰過的只有一半被留下”，可悲！
小題1:被派去打仗了，要用被動語態(tài)。
小題2:于是，老人總為自己的衣、食而擔心。C很具有迷惑性。但它的意思指“考慮”，沒有A準確。
小題3:第二天，他被發(fā)現(xiàn)死在冰冷的湖里。
小題4:他的衣服被掛在樹上。hang - hanged -hanged 此時的hang 作“絞死”講，hang - hung -hung 意為“懸掛”。
小題5:兒子死了，丈夫沒有了，此時她的心情唯有sad來描述。
小題6:從but可知政府沒有幫助她。fail“沒成功”。
小題7:all asleep 固定短語，入睡。
小題8:她需要食物，衣服，但不可以選A，B，C，而D的外延最廣，她需要幫助。
小題9:finish writing 寫完信。
小題10:發(fā)現(xiàn)自己沒有郵票。從常識不難推斷。
小題11:上文所提及的那封信。
小題12:這是一個巧合，當然對于老婦來說更是一種幸運。所以其他選項不符合意思。
小題13:警察們被信的內(nèi)容所感動。其他選項都不是他們看信后的心情。
小題14:開始老人看到錢，當然很高興，但開始數(shù)錢時，她不是這樣想了。
小題15:她認為警察把她的錢也給拿走了一半，所以生氣。

My five brothers, my sister and I lived in Toronto with our parents. My father worked in a factory, and my mother stayed at home. Each year my father would dress up as Santa Claus and go through the streets sharing joy and candies with the children there. He loved it as much as they did!
But around Christmas in 1970, my father was out of work. In fact, there was no money for Christmas and my parents weren’t sure how they’d provide for us.
That Christmas Eve, however, as usual, my father left the house dressed as Santa Claus. He knew that even though our Christmas would be hard, he could not make the other kids in the neighborhood disappointed.
As my father left the house and went downstairs, another Santa Claus was walking up, with a great bag of gifts for us! He said nothing, only smiled a sweet smile at my father, and wished him a merry Christmas. The jolly man handed the bag and walked away down the block.
We never knew who showed us great kindness on the snowy Christmas night. We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree. His kindness gave my parents hope and showed us in a very real way the true meaning of Christmas.
