Christmas is for giving and sharing, for getting together with family and friends. But mostly it"s for love. I had not believed this until a boy gave me a wonderful gift one Christmas.
Without parents, Brian lived with his mean aunt. I had not noticed him until he began to clean up the room after school, at risk of being punished by his aunt. During those hours, Brian spoke mostly of his mother, a kind, gentle, loving woman who always spent time with him.
As Christmas came near, however, Brian didn’t stay after school. I looked forward to his coming. One afternoon, I stopped him and told him how I missed him.I saw his eyes lit up. I explained how he had been my best helper and this made him more excited. "I was making you a surprise.It"s for Christmas." He became embarrassed and ran away.
Finally came the last school day before Christmas. Brian entered the room with his hands hiding something behind. "I have a present for you." He hold out his hands, and a tiny wooden box was lying there.
"It"s beautiful, Brian. Let’s see what’s in it."
"Oh, you can"t see what’s in it," he said," and you can"t touch it, but mother always said it makes you feel good all the time, warm on cold nights, and safe when you’re alone.”
I looked into the empty box. "Brian, what will make me feel so good?"
"It"s love,and mother always said it"s best when you give it away.
Yes, Christmas is for celebrations, songs and gifts. But mostly, Christmas is for love. So now I still keep the small box.

We have four chickens: Peanut, Cookie, Ice-cream and Potato. My husband Andrew made a beautiful coop(笼子)for them together with our kids.
He gave some tools to the kids because he believed it was important that they could really make something. Then, he slowly helped them. The kids made the mistakes of learning一a board cut too short and hands cut by knives一but in the end, Andrew did some tricks and the coop looked perfect.
The chickens love their perfectly imperfect home and we like to let them run around the yard freely. Yesterday, we needed to go to the city center, knowing that the chickens won't go very far. When we got back, my son, Gordon, ran to check on them. There were Peanut, Cookie and Potato, looking a mess. Ice-cream was nowhere to be seen.
We searched around the yard and found lots of feathers(羽毛). By this time, Gordon's eyes got watery. Ice-cream was his favorite chicken.
Andrew picked Gordon up and held him in his arms. As we stood there, accepting that we were now a three-chicken family, we heard it一a soft clucking sound. Andrew put Gordon down and they looked under the bush. There was Ice-cream, a half-naked(半裸的)chicken. She looked strange, but she was totally fine. Andrew carefully picked her up and returned her to the coop.
The next day, Andrew had a meeting with the kids. The kids believed that the chickens should stay in the coop, safe from everything that may hurt them. Andrew disagreed. He believed that we should be more careful, letting the chickens out when we were in the yard. He encourages our kids to take risks. He sees that the risk of living life一by having the freedom to walk around the yard一is better than the safety of a coop.

2.Which of the following facts show that Andrew is a wise father?

c. He carefully returned the chicken to the coop.

A.The family will send the four chickens to the nature.
B.The chickens will be kept in the coop from any danger.
C.Gordon will stay with Ice-cream all day to keep it safe.
