The Christmas holiday is a time of traditions. The traditions are different from one family to another. When we were little kids, we would go to church on Christmas Eve. When we got home from the church, my dad would pull the car into the garage (车库). Then he would tell us to hold on and wait in the car because he thought he heard Father Christmas on our roof (屋顶).
He went out to check while we stayed in the car. What he was doing when he was “checking” was climbing up onto the roof from the back of the house and then stomping (跺脚) around right above the garage. Then he went in, drank the milk, ate the cookies and put the presents out. We completely believed that it was Father Christmas on our rooftop and we never tried to get out of the car or the garage to see if we could see him.
I plan to carry on this tradition when my 14-month-old son is old enough.

Newspaper Carrier Day is an important day to celebrate one of society's forgotten workers — the newspaper carrier.
Every day, thousands of newspaper carriers get up early and carry newspapers around the streets. They deliver (递送) our newspapers before we wake up but few people think about their hard work. In the USA, 10-year-old Barney Flaherty became the first newspaper boy. He started working for the New York Sun on September 4, 1833. Today, many young people make their pocket money by delivering newspapers.
Perhaps millions of people have been a newspaper deliverer. Delivering newspapers used to be a part-time (兼职的) job for the children aged between 13 and 16. But now many adults often deliver newspapers by car. It has become dangerous for children to be on the streets alone before six in the morning. The newspaper carriers in the world are paid differently. For example, the newspaper carriers in Britain can make about $25 every day. And they usually work seven days a week. When you see your newspapers next time, think about the people who delivered them.
( )63.When was Barney Flaherty born
A.In 1843. B.In 1831.
C.In 1823. D.In 1820.
( )64.Who used to deliver newspapers as a part-time job
A.The young people under the age of 16.
B.The children between the ages of 13 and 16.
C.The people of all ages.
D.The children over the age of 10.
( )65.How do adults usually deliver newspapers now A.By bike. B.On foot.
C.By bus. D.By car.
( )66.How much money can a newspaper carrier make every week in Britain
A.About $175. B.About $125.
C.About $100. D.About $25.
( )67.Which of the following is TRUE
A.All the newspaper carriers in the world are boys aged between 13 and 16.
B.It isn't safe for children to walk on the streets alone before 6:00 a.m.
C.Newspaper carriers must have all kinds of skills besides driving.
D.The writer used to deliver newspaper on foot.

For most Americans, the pumpkin pie is a tasty and wonderful dish. They couldn't have Thanksgiving without it.
For me, however, the smell of pumpkin pie baking in the oven brings other special feelings. My father was in the army, so I moved often as a child. I had no hometown. Before I could go to school or make friends in one town, I'd be settling (定居) in another.
There were so few things around me to give a feeling of home. When I was young, I didn't know the difference — I thought moving was normal. It was only later when I learned that most people had a hometown they could return to and friends they had always known, but I didn't. The pumpkin pie was one thing that was always there, and that's why it is special to me.
Another reason why I like it is that I was born on Halloween, October 31. Every time my birthday came, we made a giant pumpkin lantern. And my mom would always make a pumpkin pie. She put on her apron (围裙) and before long, the pumpkin pie was the centerpiece of the party.
Now, I can't help feeling good about life whenever I eat pumpkin pies. To me, pumpkin pie is home.
( )68.How many reasons about why the writer liked pumpkin pie are mentioned in the passage
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
( )69.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A.Moving is normal.
B.Pumpkin pies give the writer a feeling of home.
C.Most people don't have a hometown they can return to.
D.There are so many things to give the writer a feeling of home.
( )70.Which is the correct meaning of the underlined word “centerpiece” in Paragraph 4
A.A common dish.
B.The center of the pumpkin pie.
C.The most important thing on the table.
D.A kind of traditional food for Halloween.
( )71.Where may the writer come from
A.Canada. B.Australia.
C.Britain. D.America.
( )72.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.How to make a pumpkin pie.
B.Why the writer had few friends.
C.Why the writer liked pumpkin pies.
D.How the writer celebrated his birthday.

One Possible Version:
My Favorite Festival
My favorite Chinese traditional festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month. On this day, we usually come back home early and have a big dinner. After dinner, we go outside and admire the full moon. Everything looks peaceful under the moon. Eating mooncakes is my favorite part. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a special day for families to get together and share happiness and love. I always have a good time on that day.
