1、阅读下面的短文，然后将划线部分的句子译成汉语或英语，并将答案填写在答题卡上对应题号的横线上。

One day, my wife Kathy and I were at home.

1. I was working in my room while my wife was cooking in the kitchen. Suddenly, she asked me, “Christmas is coming. What present do you want?”

At that time, I worked hard during the daytime and took classes in the evening to finish my college degree(学位). 2. At weekends, I offered free help to the students and had to prepare for my driving test. All of these made me tired. So I shouted, “All I really want is a break, a break!”

Before Christmas Eve, I received a beautiful box with “Merry Christmas” on its cover from my wife. 3. 这个盒子特别重以至于我一只手都拿不了。When I opened it, an unusual gift appeared in front of my eyes. It was a brick (砖)!

“I really didn’t understand what you wanted it for. But you sounded so sure of it. So I went to look for one, from one store to another. I couldn’t find any, however. 4. 我朋友告诉我，我可以从砖厂订购一个。So here you’ve got it,” Kathy said.

After ten minutes of laughing, I hugged Kathy and said “thank you” to her. Then I laid the brick on my desk carefully. Now, every time I feel upset, I will pick it up and laugh for a while. Then I can carry on. That’s the best Christmas present I’ve ever received.

24、Along the River During the Qingming Festival, also known by its Chinese name as the Qingming Shanghe Tu, is a painting by the Song Dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan.

Salesmen are shouting and selling while visitors are drinking tea and walking around. Everything looks different but is put together perfectly.

26、In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining (请客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.

Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:

“ Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night? ”

“Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come ? ”

To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept(接受), or say you're sorry and give an excuse(借口):

“Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “ Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie.” Sometimes, however, people use expressions(措辞)that sound like invitations, but which are not real invitations(邀请). For example:

“ Please come over for a drink sometime? ”

“ Why not get together for a party sometime? ”

“Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?”

They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't tell time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly.

27、Students in our school have one thing in common—an interest in sports. A research shows there are three groups of students in doing sports.

Many students in the first group go to the playground when they feel tired after a few hours of study. These students pay more attention to their study than the fun of sports.
