　　Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence．

　　Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much．The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs(分)and the game is in the eighth inning(局)．I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning．

　　In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three．In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field．Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field．In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scored again．Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat．Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

　　Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat．Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible．The first pitch(投)came and Shay missed．The pitcher again again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay．As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher．

　　The pitcher could have easily thrown he ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game．Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of　the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first! ”Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked．

　　Everyone should, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second．By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team fir the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too　intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head．

　　All were screaming, “Shay, Shay, Shay, all the way Shay．” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third．” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home!” Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who the who won the game for his team．

　　That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world．Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

I just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed, when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree.

    He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. “What are you doing?” I started to ask. The words choked up in my throat, and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know.

    He then answered me with a simple statement“TEACH THE CHILDREN！”

    I was puzzled; what did he mean?

    Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR(杉木) TREE .“Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round，describing the everlasting hope of mankind，all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven.”

He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR. “Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a savior(救世主) for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of his promise.”

    He then reached into his bag and pulled out a CANDLE. “Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of he who displaces(取代) the darkness.”

    Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound, and from his bag he pulled out a BELL. “Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return.”

    Santa looked back and was pleased. I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said, “Remember, teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center, for I am but an humble servant of the one that is, and I bow down to worship HIM, our LORD, our GOD.”

     Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice
cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
     Thirty years have passed, but Odland can't get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman's kind reaction
(反应). She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland, "It's OK. It wasn't
your fault." When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500CEO (总裁) with a life lesson:
You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
     Odland isn't the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the
land that every CEO learns on the way up. It's hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most
agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter
is like a window into the soul.
     Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, "I could buy this p[lace and fir
you," or "I know the owner and I could have you fired." Those who say such things have shown more about
their character(人品) than about their wealth and power.
     The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote
a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management.
     "A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person," Swanson says, "I
will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but rude to someone cleaning the tables."
1. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman's dress?
A. He was fired.
B. He was blamed.
C. The woman comforted him.
D. The woman left the restaurant at once.
2. Odland learned one of his life lessons from _______.
A. his experience as a waiter
B. the advice given by the CEOs
C. an article in Fortune
D. an interesting best-selling book
3. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about _______.
A. Fortune 500 companies
B. the Management Rules
C. Swanson's book
D. the Waiter Rule
4. From the text we can learn that ______.
A. one should be nicer to important people
B. CEOs often show their power before others
C. one should respect others no matter who they are
D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants

     An evergreen tree is a Christmas tradition in many American homes. The tree is usually a pine or fir
dressed with lights and other colorful decorations.
     Families might buy a cut tree or go to a tree farm and cut one down themselves. Some people bring a
live tree in a pot into their home for the holidays and then put it back outdoors. Some people rent a
Christmas tree. Companies might bring the same live tree to the same family year after year. Or the tree
might get planted in a park or someplace else where it could help the environment.
     There are some trees that can be reused year after year because they are made of plastic or metal. Or,
instead of a tree, some people have a small, sweet-smelling rosemary (迷迭香) plant, cut to look like a
little Christmas tree.
     Another plant that many people connect with Christmas is the poinsettia (一品红). Poinsettias are
native to Mexico. They can be white or pink, but most are bright red. They are named after the first
American ambassador to Mexico. Joel Poinsett liked them enough to send some back to the United
States. Babies or pets that chew on poinsettias might get sick. But experts say the plant is not as poisonous as some people think.
     Like millions of other houses, the home of America's first president is decorated for Christmas. George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate is in Virginia. Visitors can hear stories about what Christmas was like at Mount Vernon in the eighteenth century. The museum where visitors begin their tour is decorated with
Christmas trees.
1. What is the text mainly about?
A. The customs of Christmas in America.
B. The decoration of Christmas trees.  
C. The tradition of Christmas trees in America.  
D. The history of Christmas in America.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that       .
A. Americans are not allowed to cut a tree for Christmas
B. Americans have various ways to get a Christmas tree
C. a Christmas tree must be planted after it is used
D. every family will change their Christmas trees every year
3. People plant their Christmas trees somewhere after Christmas to       .
A. use it again next year
B. save money on Christmas trees
C. help protect the environment
D. hope for the best in the coming year
4. Joel Poinsett sent some poinsettias back to the United States because       .
A. he wanted to give his people another kind of Christmas trees
B. he wanted his people to remember him
C. he wanted to plant them in his home  
D. he was very fond of them
5. Which of the following is TRUE about poinsettias?
