Christmas is for giving and sharing, for getting together with family and friends. But mostly it’s for love. I had not believed this until a student, who was called Mark, gave me a wonderful gift one Christmas.
Mark was an 11-year-old orphan who lived with his aunt, a middle aged woman greatly annoyed with the burden (负担) of looking for her dead sister’s son.
I had not noticed Mark especially until he began staying after class each day to help me tidy up the room. We did this quietly, not speaking much, but enjoying the time of the day. When we did talk, Mark spoke mostly of his mother, who had always spent much time with him before she passed away. As Christmas came near, however, Mark failed to stay after school each day. I stopped him one afternoon and asked why he no longer helped me in the room. “I was making you a surprise ,” he said confidently in a low voice. “It’s for Christmas.”
With that, he left the room in a hurry. He didn’t stay after school any more after that. Finally came the last school day before Christmas. Mark walked slowly into the room late that afternoon. “I have a present,” he said. “I hope you like it.” He held out his hand, and in it was a tiny wooden box. “It’s beautiful, Mark. What’s in it ” I asked, opening the top to look inside . “Oh, you can’t see it,” he replied, “and you can’t touch it, or taste it or feel it, but mother always said it makes you feel good all the time, warm on cold nights, and safe when you’re alone .”I looked into the empty box. “What is it, Mark,” I asked, “that will make me feel so good ” “It’s love ,” he said softly, “and mother always said it’s best when you give it away.” And he turned and quietly left the room.
So now I keep the small box on the piano in my living room. Yes, Christmas is for joy, songs and nice gifts, but mostly, for love.

B
Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Later in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean! Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings
Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window " Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.
( ) 81. The writer couldn't see everything clearly through the window because_____.

C. the writer was near-sighted
( ) 82. The writer was surprised that_____.

A. I began to understand it B. it cheered me up C. I knew it grew light
( ) 84. It's clear that _____.
A. the writer had never met the woman before B. the writer often washed the window C. they lived in a small town
( ) 85. From the passage, we can learn ______.
A. one must look at others through his dirty windows
B. one should often make his windows clean
C. one must judge himself before he judges others

Ordinary
I know I am not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I mean, sure, I do ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. 1 . And I feel ordinary, inside. But I know ordinary kids don’t make other ordinary kids run away crying. I know ordinary kids don’t get stared at wherever they go.
2 I would wish that I could walk down the street without people seeing me and then doing that look-away thing.
But I am used to people’s response 反应now. I know how to pretend I don’t see the faces people make. Mon and Dad are also used to that kind of thing. 3 She can get really annoyed when people do something rude. Like, for instance, one time on the playground some older kids made some noises when they saw me. Kate heard the noises and she just started yelling at the kids. That’s the way she is. I’m not that way.
4 She says she does, but if I were ordinary, she would not feel like she needs to protect me as much. And Mom And Dad don’t see me as ordinary, either. They see me as extraordinary. I think the only person in the world who realizes how ordinary I am is me.
My name is August, by the way. I was born with a facial deformity面部畸形. 5 It’s probably worse than what you can imagine. But I only want to be treated as an ordinary kid.

India has many festivals, with some celebrations that last for weeks. However, none of them come even close to Holi酒红节, India’s most colorful and fun festival. Celebrated on the day following the full moon, this year’s festival happens to be on March 19th.
As with most Indian festivals, this one also has many different folk stories. Most of them center around the success of good over evil. The most popular one is about a king, who hates his son Prahlada for loving the creator of the Universe—Lord Vishnu. When every attempt to stop him fails, his sister, Holika believed to be immune(免疫的) to fire, joins in the effort by inviting the young boy to sit with her inside a huge fire. Helped by the power of Lord Vishnu, Prahlada escapes safely, while the evil Holika is burned to death. To remember this event, huge outdoor fires are lit in the night before Holi in order to clean the air of evil spirits and to celebrate the death of the evil.
So what’s so great about this day While there are some fun parades(游行) and folk songs and dance performances, the most fun of all is walking to the streets and splashing(泼洒) people with water guns and dry colors and even covering them with entire buckets of colored water. On this day, everybody isfair game, no matter how old or how young.
At about midday, the splashing comes to an end and people living close to oceans or rivers usually take a bath in the water to clean themselves before going home to a delicious home-made big dinner and a well-deserved short sleep, following this full day of fun and activities.
