Christmas Is for Love

Christmas is for joy, for giving and 【1】 , for reuniting with family and friends. But mostly, Christmas is for love. I didn't know this until I received a wonderful gift one Christmas.

Mark was an 11-year-old orphan（孤儿）who lived with his aunt. I hadn't noticed Mark until he began staying after class each day to help me clean our classroom. We didn't talk much, but 【2】 the quiet hours of the day. When we did talk, Mark spoke mostly of his mother. Though he was quite little when she died, he remembered her as a kind, gentle, loving woman who always spent a lot of time with him.

As Christmas drew near, Mark stopped staying after school. I had always looked forward to 【3】 him. One afternoon, as he was leaving our classroom, I stopped him and asked why he hadn't been staying around to help me clean. I told him how I had missed him and explained how he had been my best helper. "I was making you a surprise," he whispered 【4】. "It's for Christmas." After saying that, he became embarrassed and rushed out of the room. He didn't stay after school anymore after that.

Finally, the last school day before Christmas came. Mark gave me a tiny box. I opened the wooden box and found nothing in it. I held the empty box and asked gently, "What is this, Mark?"

"It's love," he whispered softly, "and mother always said it's the 【5】 when you give it away." And he turned and quietly left the room.

Yes, Christmas is for good and wonderful 【6】 . But mostly, Christmas is for love.

24、   One morning, I was driving my father-in-law to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to touch down at the airport.

“It’s magic,” my father-in-law said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.

He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn’t magic. But now, I realize he was at least right in some way.

Though flying might not be magic, it’s certainly magical. What it brings to our real lives is something found in our dreams.

But too often, we, especially I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, “You know you’re growing-up when you no longer want a window seat.”

Too often in recent years, I’ve asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonders of traveling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fi’s not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.

I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger behind me wouldn’t stop talking. “The clouds!” he kept saying, “Look at the clouds!”

I turned around, and saw two men, one who appeared to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat continued for 20 minutes until, not patiently, I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.

The clouds!

He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed easy enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colors, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and appreciated(欣赏)them for the rest of the flight.

I don’t remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. I’ve never forgotten those clouds.

A. he wonders why a plane can fly

B. it has changed human lives in some ways

C. he thinks planes have magic powers

D. it can fly silently over the road like a big bird

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the 6th paragraph?

A. Where people grow up, their minds slow down.

B. When people grow up, they do not like changes.

C. Grown-ups often care too much about day-to-day work.

D. Grown-ups care little about the speed of travelling by plane .

【3】How did the writer feel first when he listened to the chat for 20 minutes?

A. Unhappy. B. Excited. C. Interested. D. Nervous.

【4】Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Is it a wonder? B. Is it magic?

C. What soft clouds! D. What a strange flight!

25、Dear Kate,

It is very exciting that you are coming to our school so soon. Before you arrive, let me introduce to you what our school life is like.

Our school is a good place where we can prepare ourselves well for the future. We have many teachers who are always ready to offer help. Though we pay a lot of attention to how well we do in lessons, getting high scores (分数) is not the only r【1】 to study. The teachers encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions in class. With their help we have d【2】 all kinds of interests in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to join any school clubs they are interested in. We can choose the s【3】 that we want to study. Last term I chose American Literature, because I wanted to learn about famous American writers. This term I chose m【4】 classes because my father bought me a piano as a birthday present.

By the way, I was elected monitor of my class. Sometimes it can be tiring to be a monitor, because I have to do a lot of work and a【5】 many meetings. However, being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as caring for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was p【6】 than ever before. So being a monitor an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.

I love my school and hope that you will have a unforgettable e【7】 here too. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

Yours,

Li Ping
