My dad was driving to the city center to shop and I was going along for the ride. At least that was what I had told him—   1  I had an important question to ask—that had been on my mind for a couple of weeks and this was the first time I had been able to   2  with him alone.
“Dad…”I started. And   3 .
“Yes?” he said.
“The kids say there is no Father Christmas. They say I’m   4  to believe in Father Christmas anymore…it’s only for little kids. But I believe what you told me. Father Christmas is __5 . He is, isn’t he, Dad?”
“The real life and spirit of this magical elf (精灵) lives forever in your heart, my heart, Mom’s heart and in the hearts and minds of   6  people who believe in the joy that giving to others brings. The real   7  of Father Christmas becomes what you can give rather what you get. Once you understand this and it becomes   8  of you, Father Christmas becomes even more exciting and more magical because you come to   9  the magic comes from you when Father Christmas lives in your heart. Do you understand what I am   10  to tell you?”
My heart was filled with pride and I’m sure my eyes were shining with   11 .” Of course, Dad. I want him to be in my heart, just like he’s in yours. I love you, Daddy. You’re the best Father Christmas who has   12  been in the whole world.”
When it comes time in my life to   13  the reality of Father Christmas to my children, I hope that I will be as eloquent (有口才) and   14  as my dad was the day I learned that the spirit of Father Christmas doesn’t wear a red   15 . And I hope they will accept me as I did that day. I’m sure they will.

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food any more,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”
But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, and Lieberman got the job.

When Ron Clark began teaching in 1995, his teacher gave him this advice, “If you can  1  the life of one child, you’ll be a success.” Up to now, Ron still doesn’t agree with that advice. When Ron entered a class, he decided to change every student’s life for the better.
Ron never planned on being a teacher. After  2 , he travelled around the world, living a life  3  of adventures(冒险), but after getting terribly sick, he went back to his hometown, North Carolina. Then he got  4  again and taught at a school there. “From then on it was like magic — I fell in love with teaching.” said Ron. After five years of teaching, he heard that some schools in East Harlem, New York were failing because there were  6  good teachers. “At that moment I had a(n)  6— it was like a calling,” he said. “And so I said, ‘I’m going to do it.”
Before school started, Ron went to every single student’s home to  7  with their families. He gave his students his home phone number, so if they had any  8  with their homework, they could call him. To connect with his students, Ron knew he should use special  9  of teaching. He learned to play funny games with them, gave them  10  lessons, and spent his time showing students  11  New York’s tourist attractions. His students studied harder and behaved better in  12 .
Because of his  13  in North Carolina and Harlem, Ron Clark has become one of the most successful teachers in America. And his book called The Essential 55, more than  14  else, has become very popular in the world.
Sold in over 25  15 , The Essential 55 has encouraged teachers around the world to influence the lives of all of their students. Ron Clark is now starting a new school in Atlanta, Georgia — probably his biggest adventure!

I like taking a long walk in the nature park. I do that    1  . It really makes a great    2   to the whole day! I usually walk up this nice long road. It’s so quiet and pleasant    3   there are so many green trees.
This morning, I walked on that road as usual.    4   I was walking back down the road, on my way back    5   the car, I met a man. I saw him    6  
on the grass by the roadside. He was breathing(呼吸) really    7  . I asked if he was OK. He said he was    8   tired to walk anymore. I thought he needed some    9  . So I began to look for some clean water.    40  , there weren’t any places to get water in    11   a nature park. I walked back to my car    12  
to see if there was some. Because I sometimes bring bottled water and leave    13  
in my car. Thankfully, I found some today.
Instead of (代替) drinking it myself, I drove back to the man and gave him my bottle of water. Then I gave him a    14   back to his car. He was so thankful! I could tell he was very happy and surprised that someone was    15   to come back for him and give him some water. And also, I was very happy that I could share my water with others.
