Gift giving is different in different countries. In Japan, when people receive a special gift, they do not open it. Later, the same gift may be given away to someone else. Many people have enough things and don’t want too many gifts themselves. In Canada, many people will not give big gifts to someone else. They will pay for a park bench or a tree to help remember a person. In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buy them gifts. In Sweden, doing something for someone is the best gift. People don’t need to spend too much money. Instead, making a meal is enough.

22、Long ago, Bluebird’s feathers were the color of dust. She did not like her ugly color. She was attracted by the color of the lake near her home. It was as blue as the sky after a storm. Bluebird wanted to be the color of that beautiful lake very much.
Flapping her wings one morning, Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times. After each bath, she sang, “Blue water. Still water. I went in. I am blue.” Bluebird repeated this every morning. On the third day, she came out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers.
Now Coyote was a trickster (骗子) —and hungry too. He stayed behind Bluebird’s tree for a long time every day and watched her go to the lake. He pretended (伪装) to be interested in everything she did. He wanted Bluebird for lunch, but he was afraid of the blue water. On the third morning, Coyote saw Bluebird come out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers. Impressed he sat next to Bluebird’s tree and waited for her. When she returned, he asked, “How did you get blue feathers? I want to be blue like the mountains too.” Bluebird didn’t believe Coyote, but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song. Coyote did what she said, and after three days of bathing in the lake, his white fur turned deep blue.
Convinced (确信的) that blue fur was even more beautiful than blue feathers, Coyote forgot all about being hungry. He ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. Standing on his back legs, he raised his front legs off the ground and howled. But Coyote slipped (滑到) and rolled down the hill. He couldn’t stop himself, and the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur. He rolled and rolled until he hit into Bluebird’s tree heavily. No matter how much he tried, foolish Coyote could not shake the dust from his fur. And so the fur of all coyotes has the dull color of dust to this very day.
【1】How many times did Bluebird bathe every morning before she had beautiful blue feathers?
A.Three times.
B.Four times.
C.Five times.
D.Six times.
【2】Why was Coyote a trickster?
A.He wanted to fly like Bluebird near the mountains.
B.He wanted to eat B1uebird but pretended to be curious.
C.He wanted to swim in the lake but was afraid of the water.
D.He wanted to sing Bluebird’s song but didn’t know the words.
【3】Where did Coyote go after his fur turned blue?
A.To the lake.
B.To the tree.
C.To the cave.
D.To the hill.
【4】Why did Coyote forget all about being hungry?
A.Because his fur had the dull color of dust.
B.Because the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur.
C.Because he hit into Bluebird’s tree and hurt himself.
D.Because he thought blue fur was much more beautiful.
【5】What words does the writer use to help you imagine the color blue?
A.Sky, lake, mountains.
B.Bird, coyote, storm.
C.Flapped, climbed, bathed.
D.Fur, feathers, dust.
23、A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥ 100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥ 100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “what if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ¥100!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped , crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you.

C. Because he was going to give the bill to one of his students.
D. Because he wanted to make the students know what value was.
24、Dear Miss Hooper,
I’m writing to thank you for your help this year. There were lots of subjects (主题) in class, but you made sure that I could understand every one. To tell the truth, you’re the best teacher I’ve met. You explain things so clearly, and are also so kind. I really enjoyed every minute of your class.
There were so many best parts this year. Whatever the subject, you made it fun and interesting to everyone. All of your students found learning new things so easy because of you. I really believe you have a great teaching skill. You should be very proud (自豪的) of the way that you help children learn. It is because of you that I’ve decided to become a teacher when I grow up.
I have mixed feelings about school next year. I’m sad that you won’t be my teacher anymore. However, I’m happy that other children will get to share your knowledge (学问). I’m sure that they’ll thank you for your good work.
I didn’t enjoy school much before this year. I was new to the school this year. At my old school, I found learning quite difficult. The last nine months have changed all of that. I’m now confident (自信的) and looking forward to the next school year.
Thank you once again for all of your help. You are really a great teacher and you’ve helped me greatly. I hope that we can share the same classroom again one day.
Yours,
Jacob Maclean
