I was very nervous as I waited to interview one of the most successful women of our times：Kathy Howe．I was Just a young reporter and she was not only a popular singer but also a famous actress，starring in many movies．

    As soon as the door opened，however，and her slim figure appeared，I immediately relaxed． She looked great-with her kind brown eyes，her excellent black hair，and her beautiful smile．I looked for bags under her eyes，but there were none．“How do you manage to look so good and live life in the fast lane at the same time?”I asked her．

    She laughed，and her whole face shone．“It’s tiring to be famous．Yon have to work hard，be on time，and take care of yourself．Also，you have to go to Hollywood parties，be taken photos for magazines，and give interviews!”

    As we talked，I found out that Kathy is a very warm and kind person，and that her family is more important to her than being a star．At the same time，she wants to do everything as well as she can，so she can sometimes seem to be hard．

    When I asked her if she thought of herself as lucky．she didn’t answer immediately．Then she said，“Well．perhaps I’m lucky，but I also work very hard，and being famous has weak points，too．In fact，I’ve missed out on lots of things I really enjoy doing，like spending time with my daughter．”

I felt sad when it was time to leave，as Kathy is a wonderful woman．I have never met anyone else who has such a busy life，and still manages to look so beautiful．

1．How did the writer feel before the interview began?

2．What did Kathy Howe look like when she entered?

3．Kathy Howe thinks being famous is tiring，doesn’t she?

4．What does Kathy Howe think of her family?

5．Does Kathy Howe have much time to spend with her daughter?

 It snowed again. My seventh Christmas was round the corner. I dreamed of getting the present from Father Christmas until my elder sister dropped the bomb, “There is no Father Christmas.”

  I ran to my grandmother’s house, for she always told the truth. Grandma was at home. I told __11___ everything. “No Father Christmas?” she was a little ___12____. “Don’t believe it. Put on your coat, and let’s go.”

  “Go? Where, Grandma?” I asked.

  “Kerby’s Store.”

  As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars and said, “Take the __13___ and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of the Kerby’s.

  For a few seconds I just stood there, holding the money, wondering ___14___ to buy, and who to buy it for.

  I thought of ___15___ I knew: my family, my friends, my neighbors … I suddenly thought of Bobbie Decker, a __16___ with bad and messy hair. He sat right behind me ___17____ Mrs. Pollack’s class.

  Bobbie ___18___ went to any party during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, ___19____ we all knew that he didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I decided to buy Bobbie a red warm coat ___20____ he would like.

  That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons, and ___21___ “To Bobbie, From Father Christmas” on it. Grandma told me Father Christmas never let people know that he ___22___ them. Then she drove me over to Bobbie’s house, telling that I was helping Father Christmas ____23___ the presents.

Grandma parked the car along the street, and we hid behind the trees near Bobbie’s house. Then Grandma said to me, “All right, Father Christmas, get going.”

  I took a deep breath, rushed to his front door, put the present down. ____24___ the door, rang the doorbell and flew back to the safety of the ____25_____ and Grandma. We waited breathlessly in the dark for the front door to open. Finally it did, and there stood Bobbie.
