As we drove down the street，I found the family was still there．There were five of them：the parents and three children．
The closer we got to our house，the slower my father's car went．Suddenly，my father U-turned in the middle of the road and said，"Didn't you see those people back there，standing in the rain？It's Christmas！"
"Merry Christmas!"my father said as he drove close to them，"you waiting for the bus to Winborn？"
"Yes．"
"Well，that bus isn't going to come along for several hours．Why not get in my car？"
The man thanked and the family climbed into the car．They had no luggage （行李），only the clothes they were wearing．
My father asked the children if Father Christmas had found them yet．They didn't answer．
"Well，"he continued，"when I saw Father Christmas this morning，he told me that he was having trouble finding all，so he left your toys at my house．We'll just go get them before I take you to Winborn．"All at once，the three children's faces lit up．
When we got out of the car at our house，the three children ran through the front door and straight to the toys under our Christmas tree．
Back in the car，ray father took out two dollars，which was all he had left until his next payday．He pressed the money into the man's hand and then left them at the bus stop in Winborn．

6．It is widely accepted that television is playing an important part in people's lives．But，there is a heated discussion as to whether television does good or harm．
Television keeps one learning more about present events，allows one to follow the most recent developments in politics and science，and offers various programs which are．both instructive and exciting．The most distant countries，the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one's room or house．
However，some people insist that television is bad rather than good．They argue that it has brought about many serious problems．The major one is its effects on young people．Children are now so used to getting their information and entertainment from television that their ability to read and write as well as physical ability has been greatly weakened．Even worse than that，vulgar（庸俗的） advertisements and poor programs may develop their bad tastes，shape their view points badly towards human life to such a degree that their minds might be destroyed．
In a word，television has both advantages and disadvantages．Whatever effects it has，one point is certain，television in itself is neither good nor bad． It is the use to which it is put that decides its value to society．

5．Students learn their lessons in class．Teachers teach them．（71）Students sit in the classroom listening to the teacher．This is the common way of learning．Is this the only way for students to learn？Of course not．（72）有一些其他的学习方式．Besides listening to teachers，students can learn something by themselves．
As you know，many students in schools have found new ways of learning things by themselves in class．The first thing is to read something they are interested in or they have to read．The second is that before they ask others，they must ask themselves questions that they don't understand．The third is，（73）to answer the questions themselves by thinking hard，by reading the text or other books．If they still have questions，they may show them to the class．Any student or the teacher who can deal with the questions may answer them in class．（74）学生们可以互相学习．They are learning by working together．（75）They have found great success in their study．If you keep doing in this way for a long time，you're sure to succeed in your study，too．
