 This news is about a man. He is from Brazil and he is old. It's not quite the classic Santa looks. He has snow white hair and a beard.  When it is Christmas,he plays Santa Claus.  He sits in a shopping center. And thousands of young Brazilian boys and girls will be queuing up to see this guy for Christmas. They talk to him about Christmas presents. Brazilian artist Vitor Martins has been a shopping mall Santa in Sao Paulo for 16 years.

  There is something interesting about the man. He has many pictures made out of ink on his body. Ninetyfour percent of his body has tattoos.

  Anyone doubting Martins' commitment (献身) to playing Santa has to do nothing more than having a quick look at the artwork which covers his skin.

  From Jesus to Jingle Bells,there's no shortage of Christmasthemed pictures made out of ink on his body to show his dedication (献身精神) .

(   ) 1. Vitor Martins is         .

   A. a salesman   B. an artist   C. a musician   D. a shopping mall owner

(   ) 2. Many young people in Brazil come to the shopping mall to         .

   A. sit in the shopping center   B. buy the cheap things

   C. buy Christmas presents   D. see the artist Vitor Martins

(   ) 3. The underlined word "tattoos" means "         ”in Chinese.

   A. 纹身   B. 表情   C. 肌肉   D. 肥胖

(   ) 4. Which is NOT true according to the passage?

   A. Vitor Martins has been a shopping mall Santa for sixteen years.

   B. Vitor Martins plays Santa Claus when it is Christmas.

   C. Nobody doubts Vitor Martins' commitment to playing Santa.

   D. There are many Christmasthemed pictures on Vitor Martins' body.

(   ) 5. The passage may be         .

   A. a novel   B. an advertisement   C. news   D. a story

1. B细节理解题。由题目中的关键词Vitor Martins ,可回原文定位于第一段最后一句。根据"Brazilian artist Vilor Martins has been a shopping mall Santa in Sao Paulo for16years."可知Vitor Martins是一位艺术家。

2. D细节理解题。由题目中的关键词Many young people in Brazil和the shopping mall,可回原文定位于第一段。根据"And thousands of young Brazilian boys and girls will be queuing up lo see this guy for Christmas."和最后一句可以判断,巴西的很多年轻人来购物中心是为了看艺术家Vitor Martins。A项坐在购物中心;B项买便宜的东C项买圣诞节礼物,均不符合文意。

3. A词义猜测题。由题目中的关键同tattoos ,可回原文定位于第二段第二句。根据"He has many pictures made out of ink on his body.以判断. tattoos相-l4于"pictures made oul of ink on his body",结合选项可知,tattoo的意思是"纹身"。

4. C细节理解题。由题B中的关键词NOT true 可回原文定位于第三段。根据"Anyone doubting Martins' comnitmenl to playing Santa . . ."可知,有人怀疑Vitor Martins的奉献精神,因此C项表述为"没有人怀疑Vitor Martins扮演圣诞老人的奉献精神"是错误的。根据第一段最后-一句"Brazilian artist Vitor Martins ... for 16 years."可知,Vitor Martins在购物中心扮演圣诞老人十六年了,排除A;根据第一段第五句"When it is Christmas,he plays Santa Claus."可知,当圣诞节到来的时候, Vitor Martins扮演圣诞老人,排除B;根据最后一段中的"there's no shortage of Christmasthemed pictures made out of ink on his body" 可以判断,在Vitor Martins身上有很多关于圣诞主题的图片,排除D。

5. C推理判断题。文章主要讲述了巴西的艺术家Vitor Martins圣诞节在购物中心用纹身展示有关圣诞主题的故事,结合"This news is about a man."可以判断,本文是一篇新闻。

 Knowing how to stay safe is just as important as knowing the family rules. Again,this is something you need to talk about with your mom,dad or both of them. Go over safety rules for the kitchen if you'll be doing any cooking while you're at home alone. It's a good idea to practice what you would do in a real emergency (紧急事件) ,just in case anything ever happens.

  Kids who are at home alone might worry that someone could break into the house and hurt them. The good news is that this is very unlikely. But keeping the doors and windows locked will help you to stay safe.

  Decide with your mom or dad what to do if the phone rings or if someone knocks at the door,remember your parents' words. It's never a good idea to tell someone that you're at home by yourself. And if you get home and the door is open or a window is smashed,don't even go inside. Instead,go to a neighbor you trust for help.

  Other kinds of emergencies could come up,too,like a fire,or you or your brother might get sick or hurt. Just in case,you'll want to know:

  ◆how to diaK拨打) 911

How hard we have all prayed (祈祷) to grow up quickly,and looked forward to the happy days of being a grownup and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have.

At last,you have grown up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady". You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady. You are proud of being a grown?up teenager. People welcome you―this young lady―heartily. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.

But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say, "Papa and Mama,give me some money please. My pocket money is all gone already."

"No”, they say, " Your age is a dangerous age. If you have too much money to spend,it won't do you any good. ” Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.

Another time you tell your grandma, "Grandma,see,I am a grownup now." "Good,now you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me while I go and have a rest. " To show that you are no more a child,you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work,which only a grownup can do. After an hour,you find it hard to do,and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes your work. You hear what she says, "Such a big girl can't do such easy work. " You wish then you were a child again.

But the fact is,you are growing up,and you can't help it. That's the way it goes!

Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register,I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me. Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Fd left the lights on all day,and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership―a shop selling cars―was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say " thank you" ,and it meant so much.

"Thank you"―two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.
