A

Christmas

gift

As

Christmas

came

near，Alice

found

that

she

was

facing

a

big

problem.

Alice

was

a

Chinese

girl

of

18

years

old.Half

a

year

ago，she 1

China

and

came

to

live

in

an

American

home

to

learn

English.In

return

，

during

her

spare

time，she

would

do

some

things

she

was

asked

to.One

of

her

jobs

was

to

help

her

employer

to

record

the

arriving

Christmas

presents

in

her 2 .

Alice

did

this

very

faithful.She

worked

hard

in

the

store.But

she

became 3 from

time

to

time.What

could

she

buy

for

her

American

family

with

the

little

money

she

had

that

would

compare

with

the

gifts

she

was

recording

daily

？ 4 ，

no

matter

what

she

bought

，

her

employer

have

everything.

Alice

thought

hard

for

a

long

time.Then

she

went

to

a

store 5

Christmas

Eve.She

moved 6 through

crowds

of

people.While

she

was

watching

the

products

in

the

store

，

she

was 7 a

lot

in

her

mind.Finally

she

bought

a

baby

dress.She

immediately

called

a 8 ，

“Excuse

me，please，can

you

help

me

find

a

poor

family

with

a

baby？”

“A

poor

family？”said

the 9 driver，“Yes，a

very

poor

family.”

Alice

told

the

man

of

what

she

was

trying

to

do.The

taxi

driver

listened

10 ，

and

then

he

said

，

“I

know

a

family

who

needs

just

about

everything.”

When

they

reached

a

building，the

driver

said，“They

live

on

the

third

floor.”

Alice

shook

her

head，“Would

you

take

this

dress

to

them

and

tell

them

it's

from

someone...someone

that

has 11 ？”

Early

the

next

day，Alice 12 everyone

for

the

presents

she

received.Then

she

began

to

explain

to

her

employer

why

there

seemed

to

be

no

gift

from

her.She

talked

about 13 she

did

the

night

before.“You

see，”

she

added

，“I

try

to

do

a

kindness

in

the 14 of

you.And

this

is 15 Christmas

present

to

you.”

When

she

finished

，

there

was

a

long

silence.Then

the

lady

hugged

Alice

tightly

and

said ，

“Thank

you.This

is

the

best

gift

I've

ever

received.”

A

Almost

all

cultures

celebrate

the

end

of

one

year

and

the

beginning

of

another

in

some

way.Different

cultures

celebrate

the

beginning

of

a

new

year

in

different

ways，and

at

different

times

on

the

calendar.

In

Western

countries，people

usually

celebrate

New

Year

at

midnight

on

December

31st—January

1st.People

may

go

to

parties，sometimes

dressed

in

formal(正式的)clothes，and

they

may

drink

champagne(香

槟)at

midnight.During

the

first

minutes

of

the

new

year，people

cheer

and

wish

each

other

happiness

for

the

year

ahead.But

some

cultures

prefer

to

celebrate

the

new

year

by

waking

up

early

to

watch

the

sun

rise.They

welcome

the

new

year

with

the

first

light

of

the

sunrise.

Many

cultures

also

do

special

things

to

get

rid

of(摆脱)bad

luck

at

the

beginning

of

a

new

year.For

example

，in

Ecuador

，families

make

a

big

doll

from

old

clothes.The

doll

is

filled

with

old

newspapers

and

firecrackers.At

midnight

，these

dolls

are

burned

to

show

the

bad

things

from

the

past

year

are

gone

and

the

new

year

can

start

afresh(

重

新)．Other

common

traditions

to

keep

away

bad

luck

in

a

new

year

include

throwing

things

into

rivers

or

the

ocean

，or

saying

special

things

on

the

first

day

of

the

new

year.

Other

New

Year

traditions

are

followed

to

bring

good

luck

in

the

new

year.One

widespread

Spanish

tradition

for

good

luck

is

to

eat

grapes

on

New

Year's

Day.The

more

grapes

a

person

eats

，the

more

good

luck

the

person

will

have

in

the

year.In

France，people

eat

pancakes

for

good

luck

at

New

Year.In

the

United

States

，some

people

eat

black-

eyed

peas

for

have

to

eat

365

B

The

meaning

of

many

different

customs

during

Easter

Sunday

has

been

buried

with

time.

Their

origins

lies

in

religions

(

宗教）.All

in

some

way

or

another

are

a

“salute

(致敬）to

spring”

marking

rebirth.

The

word

“Easter”

is

named

after

Easter,

the

Anglo-Saxon

goddess（女神）

of

spring.

A

festival

was

held

in

her

honor

every

year

at

the

vernal

equinox

（春分）.

People

celebrate

the

holiday

according

to

their

beliefs

and

their

religious

denominations（教派）.

Christians（基督教徒）commemorate

（纪念）Good

Friday

as

the

day

that

Jesus

Christ

died

and

Easter

Sunday

as

the

day

that

he

was

reborn.

Today

on

Easter

Sunday

children

wake

up

to

find

that

the

Easter

Bunny（兔子）

has

left

them

baskets

of

candy.

He

has

also

hidden

the

eggs

that

they

decorated

earlier

that

week.

Children

hunt

for

the

eggs

all

around

the

house.

Neighborhoods

and

organizations

hold

Easter

egg

hunts,

and

the

child

who

finds

the

most

eggs

wins

a

prize.

The

Easter

Bunny

is

a

rabbit-spirit.

Long

ago,

he

was

called

the

“Easter

Hare.”

Hares

and

rabbits

have

quickly

multiple（多个的）births

so

they

became

a

symbol

of

fertility.The

custom

of

an

Easter

egg

hunt

began

because

children

believed

that

hares

laid

eggs

in

the

grass.

Christians（基

督教徒）

consider

eggs

to

be

“the

seed

of

life”

and

so

they

are

symbolic

of

the

reborn

of

Jesus

Christ.

Why

we

color

or

decorate

eggs

is

not

certain.

In

ancient

Egypt,

Greece,

Rome

and

Persia

eggs

were

colored

for

spring

festivals.

In

medieval（中世纪的）Europe,

beautifully

decorated

eggs

were

given

as

gifts.

the

second

paragraph?

Christ

was

reborn

3
