摘要： The possibil1ty of many Chinese farmers being infected with bird flu greatly increases mostly because . A. they eat a lot of animals every day B. they raise too many airmails on the farm C. they go to the market too often D. they live close with their animals D There are good Santasand bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child.Santa Claus is perfect. That’s a lot of pressure. And so many people from around the world attend the Charles Howard School in Midland.Mich. The school offers a three-day.40-hour course for Santas hoping to achieve excellence. The graduates can get a diplomain the art of Santa. There’s a real range to what Santas earn, from big reindeerfor large events to no pay for charities. One thing that makes them come here is a pure love for children.and very few jobs are respected by a shopping center full of children like Santas. “The very first time I did Santa.I was attracted.’’ said one of the students. “ I would have done it without money. I mean.I just love it. A former Macy’s Santa named Chales Howard founded the Michigan School in 1937 with the belief that being St. Nick demands so much more than a belly and beard. ``A lot of commercial institutes will think if you have a suit.you think you’re a Santa. it’s more than that. said Tom. the school’s present dean. Tom is Santa’s training director．“Santa Claus can be a religiousfigure. Tom said. “He can also be a non-religious figure. He’s a man who stands for all good things. The schoo1 teaches every thing from breathing techniques for Christmas songs to the subtleties of beard keeping. There are lessons in child psychology.body language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas a1so need to make sure they know a11 the names of the reindeer and how to deal with children. What is harder to deal with. however. is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.
