It snowed again. My seventh Christmas was round the corner. I dreamed of getting the present from Father Christmas until my elder sister 31 the bomb. “There is no Father Christmas.”
I ran to my grandmother’s house, for she always told the truth. Grandmother was at home. I told her everything. “No Father Christmas?” she was a little 32 . “Don’t believe it. Put on your coat, and let’s go.”
“Go? Where，Grandma?” I asked. “Kirby’s Store.”
As we walked through its doors. Grandma handed me the dollars and said. “Take the 33 and buy
something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of the Kirby’s.
For a few seconds I just stood there，holding the money， 34 what to buy，and who to buy it for. I thought of everybody I knew my family，my friends，my neighbors…I 35 thought of Bobbie Debar，a boy with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Polack’s class.
Bobbie never went to any 36 during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we all knew that he didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I decided to 37 Bobbie a red warm coat that he would like.
That evening, grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons, and wrote “To Bobbie. From Father Christmas” on it. Grandma told me Father Christmas never let people know that he 38 them. Then she drove me over to Bobbie’s home, telling that I was helping Father Christmas give out the presents.
Grandma parked the car along the street, and we hid behind the trees near Bobbie’s home. Then Grandma said to me. “All right, Father Christmas get going.”
I took a deep breath，rushed to his front door，put the present down outside the door，rang the doorbell and flew back to the safety of the trees and Grandma. We waited breathlessly in the dark for the front door to open. Finally it did and there stood Bobbie.
That night, I realized that Father Christmas was alive and well, and we were on his team. (383) 31．A．dropped 32．A．tired 33．A．present 34．A．dreaming 35．A．proudly 36．A．class 37．A．buy 38．A．left 39．A．hid 40．A．absent

A special trip
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked, \
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. \I told her. \the way I would want my mother treated.\
\She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, \
\
\临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long.
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, \ We drove in silence to the address she had given me. \ \
\
\
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.
Our hug ended with her remark, \“Thank you.”
I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. For the rest of the day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had got an unfriendly driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift(换班)? What if I had refused to take the run? (429)
44. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.
A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last time C. let the driver earn more money D. reach the hospice on time
45. What does the underlined word \
A. 车门 B. 计价器 C. 后备箱 D.安全带 46. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.
A. wanted to do her a favor B. shut off the meter by mistake
C. had received her payment in advance D. was in a hurry to take other passengers 47. What can we learn from the story?
A. Giving is always a pleasure.
B. People should respect each other.
C. People should learn to enjoy our life.
D. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
C
Life in space
The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main
question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet(芭蕾) dancer. “ I’m an inside guy.” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “ I like to be wrapped up.”
