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.

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?"

21、I love turtles(龟), but I haven't cared for them well. So please read the following before deciding on buying one.

You don't have enough room. Turtles need a lot of room to live happily. But this doesn't mean you should let them play freely across your house.

You can't give your turtle enough food. Most turtles eat both meat and plants. Whatever you do, don't think you can feed your pet the only food from a pet store, which is a death sentence(死刑)．

If you own a dog or a cat, don't risk buying the turtle unless you can keep them 100% separate(分开的)! One day, my dog ate a box turtle and about a month later the dog died. I've read that many box turtles carry toxins(毒素) in their bodies.

You can't offer right temperature. Once, I bought a turtle that was not put into a box. It died a few days later. In fact, the box can give it a good temperature.

You want an expensive pet for a status(身份) symbol. This may be the worst reason to buy a turtle. It means your heart is not on it, and you will not be taking all the steps necessary to care for the pet.

You will find different information in some books. You need to read more books to begin to understand the high level of care needed.

A. turtles are afraid of dogs   B. they may hurt each other

B. The writer's knowledge(知识) helps him care for turtles successfully.

C. One book is enough for the information needed in keeping a turtle.

D. People had better learn some knowledge if they want to keep turtles.

【4】Which of the following would the writer agree with?

A. Putting turtles in a fit－sized box.

B. Putting turtles and cats in the same box.

C. Letting turtles play freely across the house.

25、   The first place I can remember well was a pleasant field with a pond of clear water in it. Trees made shadows over the pond. At the top of our field were tall trees, and at the bottom was a fast-running stream.

While I was young, I l【1】 on my mother’s milk, but as soon as I was old enough to eat grass, my mother went out to work d【2】 the day and came back in the evening.

There were six other young horses in the field. Although they were older than I was, we all galloped(驰骋) together around the f【3】 and had great fun. But sometimes the others would kick and bite.

“They are young farm horses and haven’t learned how to behave(举止得体).” My mother told me. “You are d【4】. Your father is well known, and your grandfather twice won the most important race at Newmarket. Your grandmother was quiet and g【5】, and you have never seen me kick or bite, h【6】 you? I hope you will grow up to be gentle and a willing worker, and n【7】 bite or kick.”

I have never forgotten my mother’s a【8】. She was a clever and sensible(明智的) old horse. Her name was Duchess, but our master u【9】 called her Pet. He was a good, kind man, and my mother loved him very much. Whenever she saw him at the gate, she trotted(小跑) across. He u【10】 to pat her and say, “Well, old Pet, and how is your little Darkie?” I was a dull black colour, so he called me Darkie. He sometimes brought me a piece of bread, or a carrot for my mother. And I think we were his favourites.
