My family moved from Taiwan to a small town in central Georgia, where my dad got a visa for his family

and a job. I had just learned English, and from what little I could gather from my classmates, Santa Claus would

come down one's chimney and put toys in one's stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After

I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do.

On that fateful night, after everyone went to bed, I took my longest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a

nail already on the mantel (壁炉). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa

character. Unfortunately, my parents were.

I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplace. To make a sob story short, I was

hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I burst into tears, quickly took down the sock,

and stuffed it in the back of a drawer. Santa was dead.

Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I would

amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry.

How could I know that Santa was just fate? Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, an older man with a white

beard and a red cap knocked on my front door. He said, “I've been looking for you for twenty-five years.” He

handed me a red stocking, winked, and left, On top of the stocking was a card. It read: “For Becky-I may have

missed you in the second grade, but you've always lived in my heart. Santa.” Through tear-blurred eyes, I

recognized the handwriting of Jill, a friend I had met just two months before. I later discovered that the older man

was her father. Jill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the thirty-something woman and decided to do

something about it.

So now I believe that Santa is real. I don't mean the twinkle-eyed character of children's mythology (神话) or

the creation of American holiday marketers. Those Santas annoy and sadden me, I believe in the Santa Claus that

live inside good and thoughtful people. This Santa does not return to the North Pole after a crazy delivery but lives

each day purposefully, really listens to friends, and then plans deliberate acts of kindness.

Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe it is about 45 years from now. Of course, things

have changed and life is very different.

Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for

the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been

built. The hotels are airconditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon,

every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and

old.

What are people eating now？People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承)

supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now

come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.

Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of

our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by

pests. The harvest is always good.

Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run

the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.

People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of

animal decreases. Therefore, people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our

minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to

be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060.

4. When was the passage written?

A. In about A. D. 2060. B. In about 1960.

C. In about 2014. D. In about 2015.

5. According to the text, what will be on the moon in about A. D. 2060?

A. Many other animals.

B. Many tourists.

C. Many plants.

D. A sea.

6. What will people eat then according to the passage?

A. Biscuits in pill form. B. Foods in pill form.

C. Foods in liquid form. D. Foods in gas form.

It was my first day of sixth grade. I looked at my schedule and saw that I had Mrs. Foxwell's classes and

this made me happy . Over the next three years , Mrs . Foxwell taught me many important things that I will never

forget . Of all of the teachers and coaches I have had in my life,Mrs. Foxwell has been my favorite leader.

Mrs. Foxwell is one of the most respected people I know. She is always kind to everyone and she treats

others the way that she wants to be treated . She taught me respect in many different ways , but mainly how to be

respectful in the business world. She told me that I needed to have a firm handshake and that I should always look

people in the eye when I talked to them .

Mrs. Foxwell also taught me that I could earn someone's respect by working hard to achieve my goals .

In addition to working at Brandywine Springs School, Mrs. Foxwell once worked at a bank as a manager but

she gave that up to teach kids how to be successful. Mrs. Foxwell told our class that she would cry because of the

amount of work she had to do in very little time. She told our class that working all night at something we don't

love is very stressful, so we should try and do something we love. In the end, she taught me that I have to keep my

head high and pull through difficulties. I don't think I have ever worked as hard in any class as I did in her class. I

created my own 28-page business plan to share with her, my parents,other teachers and my classmates. Although

creating a business from nothing was a lot of hard work, I really enjoyed it and learned several lessons that will

help me throughout life.
