One of my fondest Christmas memories was also one of our family’s bleakest（最令人沮喪的）.We were just little kids , and on Christmas Day mom 36 us all around her to tell us , 37 ,that there would be no presents because all we really wanted was to 38 for our daddy.He was very sick . I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying 39 a miracle（奇跡）
At that very moment ,someone 40 loudly on the door. 41 Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father 42 as a minister . News had 43 that we were in trouble ,and his colleagues knew we needed some 44 .
With all the excitement ,even my dad 45 in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be 46 by good Samaritants（樂善好施的人）. The presents were unwrapped , and we girls 47 packages and found a doll each and four board games.
What is 48 to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I 49 remember an evening of laughter and 50 There were no expensive toys but 51 moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n) 52 time . They gave their time and their 53 to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things . And what about the true 54 of holidays ? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(攪動)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or 55 a tear.

A
| Ask Dr ? Jeffers | This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works. |
| Dear Dr. Jeffers, One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to ‘read minds’. Is there any truth to this story/ —Jane Leon, New York, USA Dear Ms. Leon, Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven’t been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects（受試者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（減）the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假設(shè)）70 percent of the time. It’s not quite mind reading, but it’s certainly a first step. —Dr. J. | |
| Dear Dr. Jeffers, My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn’t do it. Why not? —Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, Canada Dear Mr. Lewis, It’s because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don’t notice how your shoulder feels while you’re walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. It’s that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction. —Dr. J. | |
46. What can we learn from the answer to the first question?
A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.
B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.
C. Test subjects have been used to make decisions.
D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.
47. People laugh when tickled by others because the feeling is _______.
A. unexpected B. expected C. comfortable D. uncomfortable
48. Who has got a little child according to the text?
A. Ms. Leon B. Mr. Lewis C. Mr. Moeller D. Dr. Jeffers
49. According to the text, Jeffers is probably _______.
A. a computer programmer B. a test subject
C. a human brain expert D. a medical doctor

“Hey, Dad，” one of my kids asked the other day, “what was your favourite fast food when you were growing up？”
“We didn't have fast food when I was growing up，” I informed him. “All the food was slow.”
“Come on, seriously. Where did you eat？”
“It was a place called ‘home’” I explained.“Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it.”
By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table. But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it：
I was 13 before I tasted my first pizza. It was called “pizza pie”. When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, and plastered itself against my chin. It's still the best pizza I ever had.
Pizzas were not delivered to our home. But milk was. Bread and rolls came from the Omar man. All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers. I delivered a newspaper, six days a week even when the snow was 18 inches deep. It cost 7 cents a paper, of which I got to keep 2 cents, I had to get up at 4：00 a．m. every morning. On Saturdays, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers.
If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren. Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?
1. Hearing what the author said, his child probably thought ________.
A. he was lucky to have fast food
B. it was unbelievable to live without fast food
C. how happy his own life was
D. his father was joking with him
2. When he used to have meals with the adults, the author ________.
A. had to watch his table manners
B. could choose what he liked
C. was not given much freedom
D. had to eat everything offered to him
3. What do we know about the first pizza the author had?
A. It left a good memory on him.
B. The author didn't like it at all.
C. It was too poorly made.
D. He didn't know how to eat it.
4. Why did the author talk about his experience of delivering newspapers?
A. To show that his family used to be quite poor.
B. To show that children before had to make a living by themselves.
C. To show that he had gained a lot from the experience.
D. To show that growing experience was quite different before.
5. What's the author's attitude towards today's children?
A. He thinks they are spoiled.
B. He thinks they are too obsessed with fast food.
C. He thinks they should go through some hardship.
D. He doesn't give his personal opinion.

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,
“My I get you something?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee, we talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”
“Who?”
“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with
respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.
