At Christmas Eve, Jim went with his father to choose a Christmas tree. They choose a big one. It was almost as taller as the room! They put them in the corner of the sitting room.

9 . Sundays in New York can be very pleasant. That's not to say that Sundays in other American cities are not pleasant, but New Yorkers feel that their Sundays are special.

Since Saturday nights are traditionally party nights, Sunday morning are traditionally morning of rest, which means having a long sleep. We call it sleeping in or sleeping late, and staying in bed until 9, 10 or even 11 o'clock is not unusual. Then jump out of bed, hastily pull on clothes, run to the nearest corner newsstand, buy the New York Times or Daily News(or both), return home, put some classical music or popular singer on the record player, take off   your clothes and climb right back into bed to leisurely read the paper.

One of the nicest traditions is breakfast in bed. The Times and News are very fat newspapers on Sundays so there is a lot to read while one drinks orange juice and coffee, lying in bed.

If the weather is bad you might immediately turn to the Entertainment Section of the paper to see what movies are on. Sunday afternoons are a popular time for seeing a film, but movies are expensive in New York (as much as $5.00) so choosing takes time and care. Read the movie reviews to discover what the critics think. No one wants to make an expensive mistake…nor does anyone want to stand in line a long time which is very possible if the movie is new and gets good reviews. So if you're not sure about a movie look at the museum listings to see what exhibitions are in town. Some museums are free, others are not.

But if the weather is good you might glance through the section which lists outdoor activities. Almost every Sunday in the springtime residential neighborhoods request permission from the Police Department to close off streets for “street fairs”. There will be food for sale made by local residents or restaurants; handicrafts for sale; music provided by a local band (often high school kids); and perhaps dancing. If the fair is in Little Italy you can expect to find tasty Italian food. If the fair is in China-town you can expect to find egg rolls, music played on the erhu and dragon dances.

1. On Sundays New Yorkers usually get up at ________.

A．5-6 o'clock	B．7-9 o'clock
C．9-11 o'clock	D．11-13 o'clock

2. The underlined word “fat” in paragraph 3 has the similar meaning with ________.

A．with a lot of flesh	B．large
C．big	D．heavy

3. Most New Yorkers do the following after getting up on Sundays except ________.

A．to buy the New York Times or Daily News (or both).

B．to put some classical music or popular singer on the record player.

C．to climb right back into bed to read the paper.

D．to take off clothes to go to bed again.

4. Most of the people in New York are fond of going to movies ________.

A．in the early morning	B．in the late morning
C．in the afternoon	D．in the evening

5. You can do all the following in the fair in China-town on Sundays except ________.

A．to taste Italian food	B．to eat egg rolls
C．to listen to music played on the erhu	D．to watch dragon dances

10 . It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals （凉鞋）, wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I saved them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Pity, no!”
I looked at my worn-out slipcovers （椅套）. The girl put her cup back in its saucer （茶碟）carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
