My husband hated Christmas in the past. He thought it was just a time for people to buy things and give gifts. Five years ago, I decided to break with tradition.

Our son was twelve years old then. A few days before Christmas, his school organized a wrestling（摔跤）match. My family went to watch it. There I saw the children of the other team. They all wore old clothes and shoes. And to my surprise, children of the other team didn’t wear headgear（头盔）. My son’s team easily beat them and won the match.

After the match, my husband felt very sorry for the children of the other team. I decided to do something. I bought some headgear, nice clothes and shoes and gave them to those children. I didn’t buy anything to my husband that Christmas. Instead, I wrote a note to him and hung it in the Christmas. Instead, I told him I had given some clothes and shoes to those children in his name and that it was the Christmas gift for him. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year.

Since that Christmas, we have stopped giving each other gifts. Instead, we help those in need. Christmas has become so much more enjoyable. My husband no longer hates Christmas and he is always looking forward to the next one. 46. How old is the writer’s son now?

Just now, my little sister told me that they had a discussion about life now and then in class. She thought life was a lot better. When she asked me for my opinion, I didn’t know what to say.

It’s true that life is easier today than in the past. We can do many more things people couldn’t do in the past. Now we can just sit in the car and drive somewhere fantastic. In the past, people traveled either on foot or on horseback. Now we can buy almost everything we want in stores and supermarkets. In the past, people would feel happy as long as they had enough food and water. Now people live longer and healthier. In the past, few people know how to deal with ordinary diseases. And now we can travel the world. In the past, traveling to other continents was impossible for ordinary people. Some people even didn’other continents.

However, life today is difficult at the same time. We want to look good. We try to be perfect. We want to know what others think of us. And the pace（节奏）of modern life is so fast that we are becoming busier and busier! We are busy making money. And we are busy spending money. However, we never feel that life is good enough. We are so busy that we don’t have time for our family member and friends, not to mention our hobbies.

If life today better or worse? It’s hard to say, isn’t it? 51. What does the writer’s little sister probably do?

A. A pilot. B. A doctor. C. A student. D. A manager. 52. What was probably the topic for the discussion? A. Is life today better or worse? B. Are people as busy as before? C. Do people work as hard as before?

D. Is life today easier or more difficult?

53. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Life is easier today.

B. Transport is easier today. C. Travel is easier today. D. People live longer today.

54. What does the underlined word “existence” mean in Chinese? A. 消亡 B. 概况 C. 出现 D. 存在

55. From the third paragraph, we can infer that the writer thinks it’s _____ for us to slow down（慢下来）.

A. silly B. difficult C. necessary D. important
