Autumn days give us some fantastic and lively colours. Then, suddenly, the city is covered (覆盖) with a thick sheet（床单）of snow. It is during this special time of year that one of the most popular and enjoyed holidays in America comes: Christmas. This time is so special that schools often give students a two-week break from their schoolwork to enjoy the winter holidays.
My family takes this chance to spend two weeks together. We build a tree and decorate it with many colorful lights. On the top of the tree, we put a shining star. As night sets in, the dark room is warmly lit up by a bright Christmas tree.
Then, on Christmas Eve (前夕), our family have all the traditional American foods: turkey, sweet potatoes, vegetables, nuts, pies, and other good dishes. On this very night, there is an old story, named Santa Claus. Santa Claus will fly from the North Pole and give presents to the children under the Christmas tree. However, he only gives presents to those who have behaved（表现）well the whole year. So children across America try to do one last good deed（行动）before the night by baking (烘烤) Santa some cookies, trying to ask him for presents. This is why Santa is so fat!
That night, children are often excited, hoping to find presents. The next day, they rush out of bed very early. Then, the whole family open presents and spend the whole day relaxing.

C．When children see Santa Claus. D．When children bake some cookies.
40．Which of the following is NOT TRUE
