A
Dear Santa,
What do I ask this year? I have read each ad carefully in my mailbox, and looked through the colorful ads in the newspaper. There are so many lovely things, but I need nothing.
I realize this as I walk up the hill on my strong legs. I can hear the air fill my lungs. I feel the cold on my cheeks. I smell the smoke of the fire that warms my home. I see the snow-covered mountains and the small river dotted with fat geese.
I need nothing. There are people who love me. There are people who forgive my sometimes bad temper and who touch me with loving hands. There are neighbors who smile in the store. There are shopkeepers who tolerate me when I don’t have enough money. There are kind faces in public places.
There is a fat cat who often slides into my garage. Dogs and other cats share my hearth (炉床); I love to feel their fur with my feet. There are hawks that teach their young how to fly, right there behind my house. There are deer that wander into my yard and smell apples.
Green beans, tomatoes, peas and carrots color my kitchen. And a full bucket (桶) of hand tools and neatly dried seeds promise next year’s rich harvest. I need nothing.
Today I discovered a hole in my jeans. I felt the December air flow down my leg. How powerful the hand is that sweeps the wind along the mountains! Santa, dear old soul, just give me another day like this one in my life.

A. find something as a present for himself
B. find something as a present for his kids
C. get the news about vegetable prices
D. get the news about pet animals

3. We can learn from the text that the author .
A. is very old and in bad health B. lives alone and has few friends
C. is too poor to pay for good clothes
D. may live close to mountains and rivers
B
I want to become a journalist and I wonder what makes a good journalist. In order to find the answer, I talked to Mary Harte who worked with the BBC for over 20 years as a journalist.
“You’ve got to have the interest. If you don’t like it, you will not persist because journalism is a very difficult job,” Mary said.
Out of experience Mary told me that it was very important for a journalist to watch and talk to people. She said, “What a journalist does is painting a little picture of a story. The information has to be accurate. Therefore, you really have to be watching and listening.”
Mary also emphasized (强调) the importance of experience. “It is important to collect as many skills as possible to be able to stand out of the crowd. A lot of the skills come from experience, so you won’t walk in the street and be a good journalist. You will be a good journalist because you’ve done it long enough,” she said.
Mary said, “You will not get a job handed to you. You will have to be prepared to put in long hours; you will have to be prepared to ring people, and you will have to be prepared to have no money for quite a while. In a word, you will have to work hard for it. Then it gets to the stage where you love your job and you think ‘Why is somebody paying me to do something that I really love?’”
From what an experienced journalist said, I learn that it is not just about the skills, but also the passion required to work in the field of journalism.
4. The underlined part “not persist” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ ”.
A. stay up B. stand out C. give up D. keep up
5. In Paragraph 2, Mary Harte mainly tells us that .
A. being a journalist is interesting

6. According to Paragraph 3, Mary Harte thinks that it is important to .
A. get accurate information through talking and watching
B. watch what other journalists do to make a wonderful story
C. talk to people about how they want their stories to be written
D. add as much information to a story as possible to make it funny
7. By saying “You will not get a job handed to you” in Paragraph 5, Mary Harte means the author .
A. will not become a journalist
B. will have to work hard for the job
C. will not get any help from others
D. will get tired of being a journalist soon
C
Volcan de Lodo El Totumo, Colombia
If in Colombia at the end of February, you should make Cartagena part of your journey — here between December and March every year is the opportunity to get dirty. Bathing in mud from the Volcan de Lodo El Totumo can be best described as a primal (原始的) experience. The volcano is small, looking more like a little hill. If you reach the very top, you’ll discover gray mud. It’s believed that the mud has a curing effect in cleaning your skin.
La Tomatina, Spain
It’s possibly the most famous food fight in the world. So if you think tomatoes are only for salads, you are on a wrong track. In a small Spanish village named Bunol, on the last Wednesday of August every year, trucks dump (倾倒) about 120 tons of tomatoes in the streets of the town and tomato juice flows from there.
El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Mexico
In early November each year Mexicans gather in cemeteries (墓地) to hold a celebration. That’s a celebration of the dead. People smoke cigars and eat festive foods to show life goes on as they honor those who have died. The idea is based on the belief that the spirits of the dead pay their families a visit on October 31 and stay until November 2.
World Ice Golf Championship, Greenland
For more than 10 years the World Ice Golf Championship has been regarded as the most extreme golf tournament in the world. There golfers take extreme temperatures as their first task to deal with.
