There are good Santas and there are bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child, Santa Claus is perfect.
That’s difficult. And so they come from around the world to attend the Charles W. Howard School in Midland, Mich. The school offers a three-day, 40-hour course for Santas hoping to be excellent. There’s a real range to what Santas earn, from big bucks for large events to no pay for charities①. One thing for them all is a pure love for children.
A former Macy’s Santa named Charles Howard founded the Michigan school in 1937. “Many people will think if you have a suit and you’re a Santa,” said Tom Valent, the school’s current dean. “It’s more than that.” So with a pet reindeer②, his properly named wife Holly and a workshop full of wonder.
The school teaches everything from breathing techniques for carol singing to the beard maintenance. There are lessons in child psychology, sign language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas also need to make sure they know all the names of the reindeer. What’s harder to deal with, however, is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.
After spending time in the classroom, Weir went to the mall to test his training. However, at one point, his hat fell off, and he was unsure how to react. “You’re the real Santa,” Valent said. “Pick that hat up, slip it back on, keep smiling and do your job. You’ve got to stay on top of your game. Even the last one at night, when you’re tired, you’ve got to remember: This one’s forever, so do a good job.”
Notes:
charity n. 慈善，慈善團體
reindeer n. 馴鹿
According to the passage, good Santas should be the ones that ________.
A. can offer the children some gifts B. help adults look after their children
C. have ability to make children happy D. should be perfect in the mind of children
The underlined words “big bucks” should refer to ________.

The Michigan school was founded by Charles Howard with the purpose to ________.
A. train the pet reindeer for the Santas B. earned money from its students

During the years of depression(蕭條), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.
One day I was 36 some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily 37 a full basket of freshly picked green peas. Then I was 38 to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas for just a marble (彈球).
Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby, 39_ and told me that Mr Miller loved to trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things 40 he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself, 41 by this man.
Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬禮), 42_ three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on, _43_ their eyes.
Our _44_ came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned _45 she had told me about the _46. She told me, “Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me 47 they appreciated the things Jim ‘traded ’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”
“We’ve _48 had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she _49_, “but right now, Jim wouldW#W$W%.K**S*&5︿U consider himself to be the _50_ man.”
Then she gently lifted the 51 fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.
At that time I realized that we would not be 52 by our words, but by our kind 53 . It is said that it takes a minute to find a 54 person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to 55 him.
