A

On Christmas Eve─the night before Christmas Day─children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night.

Father Christmas is very kind and hearted. He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents.

Of course, Father Christmas isn't real. In Jim and Kate's house, "Father Christmas" is really Mr Green. Mr Green doesn't climb down the chimney. He waits until the children are asleep. Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents. When they were very young, Mr Green sometimes wore a red coat. But he doesn't do that now. The children are no longer young, and they know who "Father Christmas" really is. But they still put their stockings at the end of their beds.

1. Father Christmas often puts presents ________

A. into children's hats B. into children's stockings

C. under children's beds D. into children's shoes

2 .Father Christmas comes into the house through the ________

A. chimney B. back door C. front door D. window.

C. know that who Father Christmas really is

D. know that Father Christmas is really their friend

B

When I looked at the grade on my math paper, my jaw(下巴) almost dropped to the ground: a big ―65‖ in bright red ink. As a good student in my teachers’ eyes, I had never received such a terrible grade before.

I was so ashamed(羞愧的) that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt the unusual delay(延迟) of my report at all.

A month later, Dad casually asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.

For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, ―You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed(失望的) at your math score. That is no big deal – no one can be perfect all the time. However, I am very disappointed in you. If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.‖

Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and said sorry to him, sincerely. My father smiled and touched my head gently, ―I’m glad you understand that.‖ At that time, I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that truly care about my happiness.

In one of Shakespeare’s plays a character says: ―No legacy(遗产) is so rich as honesty.‖ After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.

4. How did the writer feel when she saw the grade on her math paper?

A. Surprised B. Happy C. Excited D. Proud

5. Why did the writer lie to her father?

A. Because she liked telling lies.

B. Because her father would beat her.

C. Because she didn’t want to make her father happy.

D. Because she didn’t want to make her father disappointed.

6. What does the underlined sentence ―No legacy is so rich as honesty.‖ probably mean?

A. Honesty is not an important legacy.

B. Honesty is as important as other legacies.

C. Honesty is more important than other legacies.

D. Honesty is not so important as other legacies.

7. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Grades Don’t Mean Everything B. My Beloved Father

C. My Unhappy Day D. The Importance of Honesty

C
