    The trouble with Christmas is that it comes just before the end of the year. Early in January, lots of bills
arrive. There I am, surrounded by presents, having spent all last year's salary and most of this year's, too,
when little brown envelopes start dropping through the letter box. The gas, the electricity, the telephone-lots
of pieces of paper, all asking for money.
    I suppose the people who send these bills didn't want to spoil my Christmas, so they didn't send the bills
to me before 25th December. It's really very kind of them, but I wish they'd send a letter to my bank manager
explaining what is going to happen immediately after the holiday. Then he would be ready for me when I go
to see him, and it would save me a difficult fifteen minutes while I explain why I need to borrow £ 200 and
he tells me why I can't have it.
    Next year it's all going to be different. In my house, we are going to have Christmas in July, during our
summer holiday. So next December I'll have enough money in the bank to pay all the bills. It's a wonderful
idea but the only problem is that my wife and children don't seem to like it very much..

[     ]
A. are kind to him
B. want to spoil his Christmas

2. At the end of the year, the writer is usually ______.
[     ]

D. visiting his friends abroad

     As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
     Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
     The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became
frightened as it started to move towards the edge (边缘)of the leaf. Why was this happening? Things were comfortable. Things were safe. Why did they have to change? Why? Why?
     The dewdrop  reached  the edge of th e leaf.  It was sure that this was the end.  The day had only just
begun and the end had come so quickly. It seemed so unfair. It seemed so meaningless. It tried hard to do whatever it could to stay on the leaf, but it was no use.
     Finally, it fell. Below there was a mirror. A reflection of the dewdrop seemed to be coming up to meet
it.  Closer and closer they came together until finally.., the small dewdrop became a part of the great pond (池塘). Now the dewdrop was no more, but it was not destroyed. 
     It had become one with the whole.
