         Two weeks before Christmas, Mother told me we were going to my grandmother's house
    for the holiday. Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town. They
    had no electricity or running water and   1   what I considered the "good things" in life. They
      2   made no plans for Christmas. When Christmas Eve arrived, Mom told me in her best
    "I-mean-it" voice to   3  0 all the decorations from our tree. She packed those up  4   all
    the trimmings(材料) for a  complete  turkey dinner.
         Christmas morning dawned perfectly with the sun shining brightly across a fresh blanket of
    snow.   5   I sulked(生气) silently in the backseat of the car as we made our   6   to grandma's.
    This was going to be the  7 Christmas ever! Grandma was  8    to see us as we walked up
    to her door. "What on earth are you doing here?" she stammered(结巴)." We weren't expecting 
      9   . It's Christmas, and I don't even have a turkey to cook for you." "I knew  10   ." Mom said
    as we set boxes of goodies on the kitchen table.    "That's   11
     12      we brought all with us." "We have a tree," Mom insisted. " Otherwise(否则), what will we
    do with all these decorations?" Uncle Henry quickly caught Mom's spirit. He called me to join him,
    and we found a perfect Christmas tree in the woods. Soon the house smelled fresh and piney as
    we decorated the tree, and the day take on a festive air. The turkey dinner was very good, too.
    I was actually beginning to enjoy this unusual Christmas day!
          Dessert was forgotten   13   Mom came out with the final surprise-a flaming pudding! "Merry
    Christmas, mother," Mom said. "Dear me!" Grandma gasped(喘息). "I haven't seen a flaming
    pudding since I left England before I was married." Tears of   14   filled her eyes. I could not
    hold the tears back,   15  . I knew then that Mom had also given me the best Christmas present
    ever-she had taught me what a beautiful thing it is to give.

    阅读理解。
        By the time a student starts to apply (申请) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades
    and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of
    high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非学业的) tasks,
    which are important to improve the student's chances of getting in.
    1. After-school activities
        When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (数量). Admissions (录取) officers
    do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (组织) for a short period of time.
        Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who
    has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟).
    It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success. 
    2. Leadership
        Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show
    leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉献) and responsibility.
        If you do not have a great title (头衔) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have
    taken. This kind of involvement (参与) in school activities shows you are the responsible person that admissions
    officers look for.
    3. Consistency (一致性)
        Admissions officers like an application (申请) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity
    you particularly (特别地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest.
        Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否则) the student would be narrow and this is
    not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying
    conflicting (矛盾的) things.
    1. Who was the article written for?
    [     ]
    A. US college students hoping to study in China.
    B. Chinese college students hoping to study in the US.
    C. Third year high school students hoping to study in the US.
    D. Teenagers hoping to study in the US.
    2. The underlined phrase "set in stone" in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.
    [     ]
    A. made clear
    B. something unchangeable
    C. become obvious
    D. at the right level(水平)
    3. The author's suggestion is to _____.
    [     ]
    A. try as many different organizations as possible
    B. start planning for college at the beginning of high school
    C. make everything in an application consistent
    D. put non-academic tasks before academic tasks
    4. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    [     ]
    A. Students should choose after-school activities they have great interest in.
    B. It's already too late for first year students to apply for a US university.
    C. It is necessary for a student to be a president if he/she is to apply for a US university.
    D. Students should concentrate on just one activity in high school.
