That （22）D，the ghosts visit Scrooge．First，the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds him （23）C his happy days as a child．Then the second ghost，the Ghost of Christmas Present，takes him to see （24）A others are spending Christmas this year．Everyone is happy，even poor people．The last one，the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come，takes him to the （25）C．Scrooge sees that he is dead，but nobody cares．He is so （26）B that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning-Christmas Day!
