A handwritten letter by a little boy ask...

    A handwritten letter by a little boy asking Santa for a “very good dad” has captured hearts worldwide.

The boy, known only as “Blake” in the letter, wrote, “Dear Santa, We had to leave our house. Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted. Mom said it was time to leave and she would take us to a safer place where we don’t have to be scared.”

“Blake is a 7-year-old boy in one of our shelters, and his mom found this letter in his backpack...” Posted by SafeHaven of Tarrant County on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.

“I’m still nervous. I don’t want to talk to the other kids,” he continued. “Are you going to come this Christmas? Can you bring a dictionary, and a compass and a watch?”

The most heart-wrenching part of the letter was the last line that read, “I also want a very very very good dad. Can you do that too?”

Officials with SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a group seeking to help end domestic (家庭的) violence, posted Blake’s letter to its Facebook page. Now, some of the child’s wishes have come true. All of the gifts he asked for have been donated by people in the community. Though SafeHaven received more than 10,000 gifts this year, they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence.

“To us, it was kind of a story that we’ve heard all the time,” Kathryn Jacob, the organization’s president and CEO, told Today. “Like tonight, we have 73 kids in the shelter. Blake is just one of many.”

A.his dad was too strict with him B.he was forced to do all the chores

1.C 2.A 3.D 【解析】 这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述了一个遭受家暴的孩子向圣诞老人索要“好爸爸”的礼物,后来被 一个叫做SafeHaven的机构收容,该机构主要是为那些遭受家暴的妇女儿童服务。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted.…she would take us to a safer place where we don’t have to be scared 爸爸很生气。我们不得不做所有的家务。爸爸得到了他想要的一切。妈妈说是时候离开了,她会带我们去一个更安全的地方,在那里我们不必害怕以及后文 Blake 被专门阻止家暴的机构SafeHave救助可知,他被他的爸爸虐待,故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段All of the gifts he asked for have been donated by people in the community.Though SafeHaven received more than 10,000 gifts this year, they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence.所有礼物都是社区里的人捐赠的。虽然SafeHaven年收到了1万多份礼物,但他们希望能为更大的家庭暴力问题亮一盏灯。可知,SafeHaven受到了很多的关注,故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence (他们想揭露家庭暴力这个更严重的问题)以及最后一段Blake is just one of many可知,有很多遭受家暴的孩子,Blake只是其中一个。由此判断出Kathryn Jacob说这句话的目的是想让更多的人关注这些遭家暴的孩子。故选D。

One evening after work, I found a beautiful little fox with a injured leg. He was like a Disney fox. Then I feed her some fish. A couple of weeks later, the fox was back, much better and had visited ever since. She was comfortable enough to come really close me. She allowed me to take photo of her, the best of whom I posted on social media. Soon after, she took her cubs together to visit to me, which was really unexpected. It's amazing to have this connection with something so wildly in this busy city, but happily the loving fox still keeps turning up.

    Take time off school, because your body will fight off the cold virus better if it is well rested. However, if you have to go, avoid close contact with your classmates.1. Meanwhile, wash your hands as frequently as possible. Nomsedating(非镇静的)allergy medicine, which you can buy from a chemist, can ease the problems of a runny nose and watery eyes.

As soon as you feel a cold coming on, drink plenty of liquid. Water or juice is ideal but hot herbal teas with lemon will help thin sticky substance and remove it from the body. A warm gargle with salt water will make your throat more comfortable by reducing the swelling. 2.

3. Breathing in steam over a bowl of hot water helps a lot, too. For a violent cough, the latest research suggests that honey, either straight from a jar or mixed with a hot drink, works as well if not better than costly sprays.

A good diet is also essential for a quick recovery, so start the day with a healthy breakfast including vitamin C in the form of fresh fruit. 4. For dinner, easily digested solid food is recommended, such as rice porridge made with vegetables or eggs.

5. It not only makes you physically stronger, but enhances your emotional well-being. Just remember not to attempt anything that requires a lot of effort or strength. Finally, to recharge your body and regain your strength, you need a full eight hours' sleep.

A.Besides, a little light exercise is beneficial as well.

B.As we know, the virus can be spread easily from one person to another.

C.The name “cold" came into use in the 16th century due to cold weather.

D.The warm air generated by a hot shower or bath will help clear blocked noses.

E.Signs and symptoms may appear less than two days after exposure to the virus.

F.For lunch, chicken noodle soup is good since it helps block cells that cause coughing.

G.It also washes out bacteria and viruses so it can be used as a preventive measure as well.
