Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings. They also have stockings. Early on the morning of Christmas Day, Children wake their parents up and say "Merry Christmas”.

解析试题分析:这篇文章主要描述了圣诞节。在平安夜,孩子们都会把长筒袜挂在床头,等待圣诞老人半夜来送衣物,长大了孩子们就知道圣诞老人就是爸爸。大人孩子都喜欢礼物。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Christmas Day, the birthday of Jesus Christ(耶稣)可知圣诞节就是耶稣的生日。故本题正确。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据第一段第二行On Christmas Eve, people usually tell their children to put their stockings at the end of their beds before they go to sleep.可知在平安夜,人们通常要求孩子们在睡前在床头挂长筒袜,而不是本题中的hats(帽子),故本题错误。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Actually(实际上), Father Christmas is children’s father.可知实际上圣诞老人就是孩子的爸爸,故本题正确。In fact和Actually同义:实际上。
【小题4】细节理解题。根据第三段第一句Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings.不但孩子们而且他们的父母也喜欢圣诞长筒袜。本题只说孩子们喜欢是不正确的。Not only ---but also---不但……而且……。
【小题5】细节理解题。根据文章最后一句but it is better to give than to receive(收到)可知给予要比接受更好,本题正好和原文相反,所以是错的。

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth” ? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born-Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside---hinting like a Westerner(西方人) and yellow outside --- looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics(政治), But if ABCs can’t speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are oversea Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

Making sense of how the US shows humor
Living in a new country gives me many surprises. The first surprise was the way that the US people speak
One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it would be a serious speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show.
The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words. Later he said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words. He took the example of Taylor Swift’s song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.[
He said that since Swift doesn’t want to be with the boy any more, she doesn’t need to speak it aloud, she doesn’t need to sing unless she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite.
Then he sang the song in a funny way. The audience laughed out loudly. I felt a little angry because Swift is my favourite star. I couldn’t understand why they laughed at Swift.
As time goes on, I find many US people make fun of others. But they don’t mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughed at seldom get angry. Now I understand the speaker at the square. Now I’ve got used to the way the US people speak.
It’s easy to find culture shock when you’re in a new place. But everyone should learn to understand different cultures and customs.
【小题1】The man in the square was _______________.
A.teaching people how to give a speech |
B.calling on people to protect the environment |
C.giving a singing show in public |
D.criticizing the US government |
A.会唱歌的人 | B.真诚的人 | C.虚伪的人 | D.爱护环境的人 |
A.many US people like to laugh at others |
B.many US people are friendly and humorous |
C.the US people get angry at others easily |
D.the writer doesn’t like the way the US people speak |
A.The writer went to America and protect the environment. |
B.Americans show humour in a different way from China. |
C.It’s easy to find culture shock when you are in a new place. |
D.Tailor Swift is an American famous singer. |
A.Differences between the Chinese and the US people. |
B.In what way the US people speak in public. |
C.How to get used to life in the US. |

What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
【小题1】We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A.learning better at school shows power in your job |
B.the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career. |
C.learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs. |
D.we should think about how to find our career |
A.have no hope in his future work |
B.be hopeful to find a suitable job |
C.regret not having worked harder at school |
D.have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work |
A.mathematics | B.English | C.history | D.technical drawing |
A.The relationship between school performance and career |
B.how to get a job |
C.How to show strengths in your work |
D.working experience and knowledge at school |
