25、As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and especially chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.
One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail into her house every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes used for other things. One note left in a mailbox read, "Nat, take these eggs to Marian. She’s baking a cake and doesn’t have any eggs. "A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank.
Later, father died. As I drove home, I noticed two green and red mailboxes made by father were still on each side of Main Street. Each box had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
When I saw Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. He asked, " What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?"
“The letters?”
“I guess you never knew.”
"Knew what?”
Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”
I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.
For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.
【1】It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as________.
A. great chances to help other people B. happy occasions to play with animals

【2】The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that
A. Dad had a strong sense of duty B. Dad was an honest and dependable man
C. Dad had a strong sense of respect D. Dad was a kind and generous man

B. Santa Claus answered all their letters every year.
C. Santa Claus had unique(独一无二的) mailboxes for the children.
D. Santa Claus had so much information about their families
26、Do You Go To Sleep In Class?
The “Acronym”, our student newspaper, reports that most students go to sleep at 1: 30 a. m. Even if that’s an exaggeration(夸张), it’s too close to the truth. Scientists say teenagers should sleep nine hours each night. But that’s hard to do.
Some even “pull all-nighters”. These are lazy students who have homework due to(到期) the next day that they haven’t done. In the morning they don’t look healthy and you can tell who has been doing it.
One of my classmates did a survey(调查) on the problem. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games!
Maybe our lack of sleep is because of laziness — I think I’m a lazy student — or maybe it’s because we have too much to do in American high schools.
I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1: 30 a. m., I wouldn’t get any work done. I’d be falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 a.m. I’m partly awake in my first class. By the second, I’m slightly tired and sleepy. By my third class, I’m sleepy. By midday I’m finally wide-awake. But by 3: 00 p. m., I’m slowing down again.
Most American high schools seem to have such a problem.
High school classes start at 7: 30 a. m., so students have to wake up one and a half hours before that to get ready and catch the bus. It’s believed that lack of sleep can do harm to both grades and health.
Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 a. m.
【1】What’s the problem talked about in the passage?
A.Many kids have too much homework to do.
B.Many teenagers don’t have enough sleep.
C.Many children are crazy about playing computer games.
D.Many kids are too lazy to finish their homework on time.
【2】The underlined expression “pull all-nighters” most probably means ________.
A.开夜车 B.上夜班 C.睡懒觉 D.补作业
【3】Which of the following is NOT a reason mentioned in the passage?
A.Laziness. B.Homework. C.Housework. D.Computer games.
【4】What’s the idea suggested at the end of the passage?
A.Later start of classes. B.Less homework.
C.Going to bed early. D.Eating healthy food.
27、阅读理解
A
Before the elevator was invented in the late 1800s,buildings were much smaller and lower,as people did not want to walk up and down stairs(楼梯)all day.With the invention of the elevator came high-rise buildings and skyscrapers.
Some people find elevators make them a little uncomfortable because there are many people all standing close in a small room.It is best just to relax and enjoy the ride.
When the elevator doors open,stand aside and let everyone out before you try to get in.Even if you are in a hurry,it’s impolite to push someone so that you can get into an elevator.
Don’t stare at(盯着看)people or stand too close.Try to keep your eyes looking ahead or you could make others feel nervous or uncomfortable.
If you have to move past people to get out of the elevator,say“Excuse me,please”or“I’m sorry”rather than just push them out of the way.Others will think you’re welcome if you show some politeness.
