Lunch Made of Love

In those poor times, many of my classmates couldn’t bring a nice meal to school for lunch. My deskmate’s meal was always cabbages, while 66  （我的）was ham and fried eggs. Sometimes, my deskmate would first pick the hair out of his lunch and then eat it as if   67 （没事）had happened. This continued for a long time.

“His mother is so lousy（邋遢的）that her hair drops in the meal, ”my classmates said. I  68  （想）it was really dirty, but I couldn’t show that because I didn’t want to hurt（伤害）his feelings. Still, I started to think that he was   69 （肮脏）, too.

One day after school, he called me and said, “Would you like to come to my house if you are  70 

（有空）? ”

Though I didn’t want to go, I knew it would be impolite to refuse because this was his first invitation. Following my friend, we   71  （到达）at a poor village.

“Mom, I brought my friend home. ”

His old mother opened the   72 （门）, “My son’s friend is here. Let me have a look. ”But to my

  73 （惊讶）, his mother was blind. She couldn’t see anything.

I felt sad. Now I understood why my deskmate’s lunch had hair in it. His mother got ready for it

  74  （仔细）for him every day, even though she was blind. It was not only a lunch, but also a   75  

（母亲）love.

December 25 is Christmas Day(圣诞节). Christmas is an important holiday in many countries. On Christmas Day, most families get together for a big dinner. They give presents to each other and visit friends. The Christmas tree is an important part of the Christmas holiday. Most families buy trees. The families decorate(装饰) the tree together. Parents usually tell their children that Father Christmas comes during the night and brings presents to good children. Of course, Father Christmas isn’t real. The parents of the children are really “Father Christmas”. They put the presents under the tree or into their children’s stocking(长统袜) after the children go to sleep.

1.What do most families in America do on Christmas Day? __________.

2.Who is really “Father Christmas”? ___________.

3.When Christmas Day is coming, the parents __________.

4.When did parents put the presents into their children’s stocking? __________.

During the day, you spend a lot of time running, jumping, laughing, eating, and talking. You use up a lot of energy(能量) , and by the end of the day you're tired. Sleep gives your body a chance to rest.

But your brain (大脑)and body are not completely at rest during sleep. While you sleep, your mind may think of the things that happened during the day. It keeps the important things in mind as memories(记忆). It also thinks about things you were worrying about, and you may wake up with answers to some of your problems.

You also grow while you sleep. The thing called "human growth hormone (荷尔蒙)" in the body helps you grow during sleep. This growth hormone also helps the body to repair itself.

Sleep helps your body to conserve energy too. You use up a lot of energy during your daily activities. But when you sleep, your body temperature falls, and your "metabolism" (新陈代谢) slows down. You are still using some energy, but much less than when you are awake and active.

Have you ever stayed up past your bedtime? Did you have difficulty getting up the next morning? Maybe you had problems seeing clearly or you cannot think clearly. That was your body's way of saying, "I need sleep！" A lack ( 缺乏) of sleep can stop your body and mind from working correctly.

1.What does "human growth hormone" do while people sleep?

2.According to the passage, which of the following tells you need sleep?

3.What does the underlined word "conserve" mean?

4.What is this passage mainly about?

We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf.  It stood outside a furniture（家具）shop. “Buy it,” she said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof-rack（车顶架）. I’ve always wanted one like that.” What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.  As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake（超车）?” Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers（警官）inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church（教堂）. One of the officers came to me. “Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help now?” I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You’ve been very kind. I live just down the road.” He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was--er, something else.” My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood why the police drove here. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a bookshelf, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.
