He wishes the holiday season would end already. His back aches, his red suit feels like a spacesuit, his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours—and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a picnic. As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商业化) across the U. S. and Canada, so must Santa Claus. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen.

The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions are as heartbreaking as they are unanswerable. For example, “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?”

Santa Claus; also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story: A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented, “You have nice eyes and nice hair.” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (骚扰). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do. The Santa Claus were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(ABC和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair. But too often, we return home, very tired.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Come home refreshed after an active trip! And you won’t be too tired!

Active vacations are often the most relaxing ones of all. We don’t expect you to take up running. Rather, we ask the sedentary (久坐不动的) vacationers to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking in city streets, going to a zoo or biking beside the ocean.

These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental (精神的) health as well. And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile.

Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.

◆A walk at dawn or dusk can make you feel or look young again. Try to make this a daily thing that is done regularly.

◆Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of the water.

◆Many of us spend a large part of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations (目的地), or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat.

【1】What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To show us how to make our vacations relaxing.

B. To tell us where we should go for our vacations.

C. To explain to us why vacations can sometimes be boring.

D. To introduce the relation between vacations and health.

2 What does the underlined word refreshed in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. In low spirits. B. Pleasant or cool.

C. Feeling energetic. D. Feeling regretful.

3 In the last paragraph, the author seems to advise us ________.

A. to go on vacation by car

B. to get out of the car for sightseeing

C. not to spend too much time on the road
