As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be bought, cards to be
sent, rooms to be cleaned. Parents are 
with difficult jobs of hiding presents from
curious young children. If the gifts are large, this is sometimes a real 
.
On Christmas Eve, young children find the 
almost unbearable（難以忍受的）. They are 
between
the wish to go to bed early so that Father Christmas will bring their presents
quickly and the wish to 
up
late so that they will not 
the
fun. The wish for gifts usually proves stronger. But though children go to bed
early, they often lie 
for
a long time, hoping to get a short look at Father Christmas.
Last Christmas, my wife and I 
managed
to hide a few large presents in the storeroom. I feared the moment when my son,
Jimmy, would 
me
where that new bike had come from, but 
he did not see it.
On Christmas Eve, it took the
children hours to go to sleep. It must have been nearly 
when
my wife and I went quietly into their room and began 
stockings. Then I pushed in the 
I
bought for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We knew we would not
get 
sleep
that night, for the children were 
to get up early. At about five o'clock the
next morning, we were woken by loud sounds coming from the children's room － they were shouting excitedly! 
I
had time to get out of bed, young Jimmy came 
into the room on his new bike, and his
sister, Mary, 
close
behind pushing her new baby carriage. Even the baby arrived, he moved 
the
hands and knees into the room dragging a large balloon behind him. Suddenly it
burst. That woke 
up
completely. The day had really begun with a bang（巨響）.

The Best Holiday
I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter, Emily. 36 to buy a mountain bike, she’d been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to earn extra money.
By Thanksgiving , she had collected only $49. I said, “ You 37 have your pick from my bicycle 38 ”. “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old. ” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 39 choose.
As Christmas 40 near, Emily and I went bike shopping . As we left one store, she 41 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy?” She asked. “Sorry, Em, I’m out of 42 . ”
Throughout December, Emily continued to work hard. Then one day, she made a 43 announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $58 to a volunteer who was really very 44 .
45 by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute 46 of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. 47 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow. Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t 48 the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later 49 the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very 50 , sir . Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re 51 away one chance to win a girl’s mountain bike. ”
Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the 52 ? I like to think it was God’s way of 53 a little girl for a sacrifice 54 her year--while giving her dad a lesson in the 55 .

The slogan “a dog is for life, not just for Christmas” has been going strong for 27 years now. Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the gifts in the UK and Europe for many years. But some people still haven’t quite got the message.
The slogan still holds good. Some 105,000 dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.
The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.
But Eleanor Silk, the Trust’s communications director, says, “It’s often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or it hasn’t been trained properly and has caused damage around the home.”
In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy(小狗) as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it. Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small children. It’s hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas. What’s more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children. It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility.
Appreciating what you’re taking on with a dog can be a sobering (清醒的) realization. “For life” means thinking about the effect they’ll have on your life. It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its whole life.
【小題1】What would be the best title for the passage?
| A．Dogs and Cats—the Most Popular Christmas Gifts. |
| B．A pet is for Life, Not just for Christmas. |
| C．How to Take Care of Your Pets over Christmas. |
| D．Let’s Help Those Abandoned Pets |
| A．Pets spread some diseases. |
| B．Pets damage some things in the house. |
