It was one of the hardest days of my young life. My 110-pound body had been knocked to the ground more times than I could        . It had become        as the practice went on that there was no way I was ever going to be able to compete against the taller and stronger boys. My            of being a football star had been crashed to the ground along with my bruised (擦伤的) body.
I made it home,      .
My mom        me at the door. From my expression, she could see that I was        and had me sit at the kitchen table. I thought she had known what had happened that day. She        me up with a bowl of soup. While I had the soup, I felt her hand      rubbing my aching back. We said no word, but by the time the soup was done I was feeling      again. I knew I was loved and that was all that        .
I have kept that        in my heart all of these years. Even today, no matter what        life throws at me, a bowl of soup always lifts my spirits. Sometimes I can even feel Mom’s gentle hand rubbing my back from Heaven and see her beautiful face smiling at me with        .
In this world, all of us have had our dreams crashed to the ground at one time. Sometimes it takes a lot of        dreams until we find our true purpose in life, too.       are always there, though, to comfort us and to remind us that we are loved.

English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Some new words come into use, and some old words are used in a new way.
English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, and “tea” came from China, and so on. Now a great many new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words can be created in other ways. For example, some can be created by adding two words together. “Weekend” and “cookbook” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words. Our “sandwich”   was named after a man named Sandwich and “sello(透明胶带)” was a name given by the company that first made the product.

Sayings(谚语) are quite common in spoken English. We don’t normally put them in a composition or a letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples.
“ Once bitten, twice shy.” If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. For example, if you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again.
“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.
“ Don’t be a dog in a manger(槽)” means “ Don’t be selfish.” In a stable (马棚),the manger is the place where the horse’s food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog doesn’t want to eat the horse’s food in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.
“ He who pays the piper calls the tune (调子).” A piper is a musician. The man who pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.
“To pour oil on troubled waters” is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.
Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his young brother ride on it. What would Peter’s mother say to him?

A.“ You can’t get blood out a stone.”
B.“ Don’t be a dog in a manger.

Dear Susan,
I have been in England for three months now. I hope you don’t think I have forgotten you. There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that I’ve not had much time for writing letters. I shall soon start my studies at King’s College.
So far I’ve been learning about British ways of living. I won’ tell you about London in a traditional way, because there are plenty of books you can read and plenty of pictures you can look at.

One of the traditions which is now a necessary part of Christmas is a that of Father Christmas, or Santa Claus. According to the modern legend, he is a magical figure who visits all the children of the world during the night before Christmas Day, leaving presents which they find the next morning. He flies through the night sky in a sledge pulled by reindeer, and enters houses by climbing down chimneys. This strange legend is based on the life of a man called Nicholas, but in fact we know very little about him. Historians think he was a Christian bishop(主教)in Turkey in about 285--350 A.D. One of the stories about him is that he helped three poor girls. No one would marry them because they were so poor. To provide them with money for their weddings, Nicholas secretly dropped some gold coins down the chimney of their house. After Nicholas died, he was made a saint(圣人) by the church.(The name Santa Claus thus comes from St Nicholas.) His feast day was celebrated in December, and parents started giving their children secret presents from St Nicholas. Over the years, this custom became part of our Christmas traditions.
Recently, a psychologist has claimed that Father Christmas is “the perfect fantasy” for children. According to Professor Anthony Clare, children love the character of Father Christmas because he is like an ideal father: he loves children and gives them presents, but he never criticizes them, is never angry, and children do not even need to thank him for the presents. Other writers, however, point out that Father Christmas can be a frightening character to some children. Jane Bidder says that some children are terrified of this fat, bearded old man. It can certainly confuse many children. As parents, we warn our children to be careful of strangers and never to let them into the house, and yet we tell children that a strange man will come into their bedroom at night! Some children can become very worried about this idea and fear that he is a kind of burglar.
Most children, however, understand from their parents and from the media that Father Christmas is basically a benign character, and look forward to his annual visit with joy and excitement.
The main point of the first paragraph is that     .

A.Father Christmas is an important part of Christmas
B.the tradition of Father Christmas is a modern idea
C.Father Christmas is a magical figure who can fly
D.the legends about Father Christmas are not true

The writer mentions details such as Father Christmas’s sledge, the reindeer and the way he climbs down chimneys because he/she        .

A.wants to make it clear that these things are impossible
B.is describing the history of St Nicholas
C.wants everyone to believe that Father Christmas is real
D.is explaining the modern legend of Father Christmas

Why does the writer mention the story about St Nicholas helping three poor girls?

A.It shows us that historians know very little about him.
B.This story explains why parents give secret presents to children.
C.It supports the writer’s main point that Father Christmas is based on an untrue story.
D.This story explains why we celebrate Christmas in December.

In the last paragraph, the word “benign” means         .

A.religious B.friendly
C.frightening D.unreal

The best title for this passage would be         .

A.Is Father Christmas Dangerous?
B.The True History of St Nicholas
C.The Legend of Santa Claus
D.The Traditions of Christmas
