Yesterday I went to buy a little tree for my father. When I was talking with the cashier(收银员), he asked what I would be doing with this little tree. I explained that it was for my dad, because he no longer lived at home.
The cashier just stopped and looked at me with the kindest look. He shared with me that his grandfather couldn't live in their home any longer either because he had Alzheimer's disease(阿尔茨海默病). So I shared with him that my dad was on the same journey. We talked about the difficulties because of the illness, not only for those who are ill, but also for their families.
When I was paying for the tree, he said, “Because this is for your dad, let me see what I can do for you. ”He took some coupons(优惠券)from a drawer and reduced my cost by over 60%.
I thanked him for his kindness. We wished each other Merry Christmas and the best hopes for our loved family members.

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11th, 1998, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is. ”What an honor! I turned four years old a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, my doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and“dying”, which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. “Don't expect any presents this year. ”Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that will be Christmas enough. ”As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What He's all right ”He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we could bring Richard home! ”
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I looked downstairs. My socks still hung there flat.
But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

What are the cultural differences between China and the West You might be able to find the answer in Cao Siyu's comics (漫画).
Cao, 32, was born in Beijing, but left home at 20 and has studied and lived in the US, the UK, and France for 12 years. Having seen so many cultures, Cao wanted to use her drawing skills to show the differences she has experienced. So she created the cartoon series Tiny Eyes Comics.
“My experience shows that although travel is much easier and faster today, the distance (距离)between cultures hasn't shortened, ” Cao said. She hopes to build bridges and break down misunderstandings between different cultures. One of her cartoons shows water forms in different countries. Three glasses of water are shown. The glass of water from the US has ice; the one from France is full of sparkling water (气泡水)；the one from China is steaming (冒热气的).
Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she used her comics to explain why Chinese people prefer to wear masks while western people don't. “Her simple pictures have played a big part in reflecting Chinese culture, ” Italian magazine Grazia reported. Many foreign readers say that Cao's comics help them understand China, while Chinese living abroad have felt that they are seen and understood.
She said that this voice has been the biggest motivation (动力)for her to keep creating.
(　)47. Cao's comic ideas come from her studies and life in ______ countries.
A. 3　　　 B. 12　　　 C. 20　　　 D. 32
(　)48. The underlined word “misunderstandings” means______.

(　)49. We can infer from the passage that ______ is more popular in China.

B. ice water
C. sparkling water
D. hot water
(　)50. The best title of the passage is “______”.
A. Travel is much easier and faster today
B. Comics show us how we are different
C. School life abroad is busy and lonely
D. Different ways of thinking and behaving

Fifteen years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One day I went to pick up a passenger at 2: 40 am. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute, ” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a while, the door opened. A small woman stood before me. She was more than eighty years old. By her side was a big bag. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown ”
“It's not the shortest way, ” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I'm in no hurry, ” she said. “I'm on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I am not long for this world. ”
I listened quietly and shut off the meter(计程表).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the place where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I pay you ” she asked.
“Nothing, ” I said.
“You have to make a living, ” she answered.
“Oh, there are other passengers, ” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug. She held on to me and said, “You gave an old woman a perfect gift. ”

My favourite gift
People often give gifts to show their love and friendship. Among all the gifts I have got, the most special one is a hand-ade calendar.
It was made by my best friend Jane. On each page of the calendar, there is a picture of Jane with some words written by herself. She either tells me how she feels about our friendship or encourages me to try my best to live a happy life.
Whenever I look at the calendar, I am touched by something warm, and my heart is filled with love. It is a memory of all the wonderful time which I spent with my best friend in junior high school. I will keep this special gift forever.
