阅读下面一篇文章，文章后有五个选项，从A、B、C、D、E和F六个选项中选出五个符合每一段文章主旨大意的选项。

　　The existence of Santa Claus can be proved in five ways．

　　The first and most obvious way is ________．It is certain and evident(显然的)to our senses, that in the world some things are Christmas trees．Now no pine tree becomes a Christmas tree unless it is trimmed(修剪)．Now to be trimmed means to receive ornaments(装饰物)from another．But this cannot go on to infinity in the trimming of Christmas trees．One must come to some first untrimmed trimmer; and this everyone understands to be Santa Claus．

　　The second way is ________．We see that in the world that Christmas gifts are given and received．Whoever, then, gives Christmas gifts either receives them from another or makes them in his workshop．If, however, no one makes Christmas gifts in his workshop, they are not given nor received．Therefore it is necessary to posit(安置) some first giver of Christmas gifts, who everyone calls Santa Claus．

　　The third way is ________．At all stores we see things of plastic that represent Santa Claus．These things are of such a quality that they are representations according to Santa himself or according to other images of him．But, it is not possible to proceed to infinity in images．Therefore, it is necessary to posit something which is like Santa Claus and hence Santa Claus exists．

　　The fourth way is ________．Indeed, in this world, among men there are some of more and some of less Christmas spirit．But“more”and“less”is said of diverse things according as they resemble in their diverse ways something which is the“maximum”．Therefore there must be something which has the most Christmas spirit, and this we call Santa Claus．

　　The fifth way is ________．When Christmas day approaches, we see from their being good always or frequently that children, who lack understanding, are moved because of an end．But children would not be good because of the Nativity of Christ unless there were someone who strengthened them so that they were good．And this someone is known by all to be Santa Claus．

A．taken from the grades which are found in Christmas spirit

B．taken from the food people eat at Christmas Day

C．taken from the nature of Christmas gifts

D．taken from the behavior of children

E．taken from Christmas trees

F．taken from plastic images resembling Santa Claus

Merry Christmas

The winter holiday season is the most festive time of the year in the United States. Students from elementary school through college have about two weeks’ vacation, beginning shortly before Christmas and ending soon after New Year’s Day. 　 71　 There are many parties to celebrate the birth of Christ and the arrival of the New Year.

72 Late in November, street lights and store windows are decorated with the traditional Christmas colors of red and green. Santa Claus, shepherd and angel scenes appear in shop windows. Winter scenes with snowmen, sleighs, skaters, and skiers decorate cards and windows.

The manufacture and sale of Christmas items is big business. 　 73　 Smart shoppers buy their gifts far in advance, before the Christmas rush makes shopping a chore.

Although Americans enjoy the commercial friendliness of Christmas, the most beautiful and meaningful parts of the holiday occur at home. 　 74　 Then they sit down to enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner—turkey or ham, sweet potatoes, vegetables, and cranberry sauce. Dessert is usually fruit cake, plum pudding, or apple pie. Most of the Christmas customs which Americans enjoy today are variations of traditions brought here by European immigrants, decorating the Home with evergreens for example. 　75　 Branches of evergreens were thought to bring good luck and guarantee the return of spring. Now, at Christmastime, decorated trees stand in about two-thirds of American homes. The modern American tree is usually covered with colored balls and strings of colored lights.

A.　　 Many families gather around the tree and open their gifts.

B.　　 In America, the spirit of Christmas arrives about a month before the holiday itself.

C.　　 Many families go away for the holidays, but those who stay home have fun, too.

D. In America, it’s customary to exchange gifts with family members and close friends.

E. Stores depend on Christmas shoppers for about one-fourth of their annual sales.

F. Today the custom continues, but now it is for fun.

G. This winter custom began in ancient times.
