Hello, George Parker is my name. I was born in 1995. I’m an American boy. Now let me tell you something about my after-school life. My spare time is interesting. When I have time, I can read all kinds of books in the school library. I learn more in the library than in the classroom. I also like doing sports. I think it can keep me healthy. Of all the sports, football is my favorite. I often play football with my friends after school. I am good at dancing. On the weekend, I usually help children with my friends in the dancing club.
My after-school life is very colorful. I can learn a lot from it. Do you like your after-school life? George Parker was born in ___________.

Season two of Where Are We Going, Dad? A reality show on Hunan TV is even more fun and colorful than the first. We’ve been able to watch different kinds of father-son/daughter relationships unfold. This time around we see the families at their most happy and awful moments.
| Dad: Huang Lei, 43 Daughter: Huang Yici (Duo Duo), 8  |
Huang Lei, among his many jobs—actor, director, singer and lecture—is also a farther. He couldn’t be more patient when it comes to take care of his daughter Duo Duo. As the oldest kid in the show, Duo Duo is smart, thoughtful and wise beyond her years. Together, they’re the pair with the most positive energy on the show. |
|
| Dad: Lu Yi, 38 Daughter: Lu Yuxuan (Bei’r), 5  |
As the most stylish father in the show, actor Lu Yi certainly knows how to look handsome. We often see him wearing fashionable clothes, and matching outfits with his daughter Bei’r. But as a dad, sometimes his ability is not equal to his willing. Fortunately, Bei’r is an obedient child who behaves well. |
|
| Dad: Francis Ng, 53 Son: Feynman Ng, 5  |
These two have the traditional father-son relationship, where the father is serious and the son is obeyed by only a glance. “A tough man with a tender heart” is the best way to describe this actor from Hong Kong, especially when we see him giving Feynman encouragement and support. Feynman is s a strong and independent boy who always tries to hold back his tears in front of the camera. |
|
| Dad: Yang Wei, 34 Son: Yang Wenchang , 4  |
As a father, the former world champion gymnast isn’t as powerful as he was in competition. Yang has showed us his soft, patient and quiet side. Yang’s good life skills make it quite easy for him to look after his son on his own. Yang Wenchang, on the other hand, is a perfect example of the saying “like father, like son”. |
|
| Dad: Gary Chaw, 34 Son: Joe Chaw, 5 Daughter: Grace Chaw, 3  |
It is the most dramatic group on the show. Malaysian singer Gary Chaw may not be so great at parenting, but he certainly knows how to play with his children. The brother and sister are sweet, bright and lovely. Even Gary Chaw tears up a few times, this are what family is for: Family laughs together, cries together and shares with each other their most memorable moments. |
|

Dear Santa,
Thank you for all of the great gifts you give me this Christmas.
My parents can’t seem to decide whether you gave the presents directly, or if you just helped them and my grandma pick out the right presents. So, if you are advising her, please tell her next year that I do not own a Wii.
I don’t remember asking you for so many pairs of pants, but thank you for giving me the chance to try them on in the front of my whole family. I enjoyed them so much that I continued to wear them, with the tags（商标）still on.
My mom and the holiday movies are always quick to remind me that Christmas isn’t about the presents. It’s about togetherness. But without the presents, there’s nothing to do to fill up this long, long day. So I think Christmas is about the presents, and I’m sure you agree.
If you do, I have some suggestions about ways that you could make the present part of the day last longer: using packing tape to wrap presents instead of Scotch tape（透明胶带). It took, like, ten minutes to open just one present.
My final suggestion is pretty simple: more presents! If it took the whole day to open all of the presents, then I wouldn’t have that terrible time, because my mom says it’s wrong to go play video games in my room, but there’s nothing else to do outside of my room.
Anyway, thank you again and I look forward to seeing you next Thanksgiving. It’s an iTunes gift card for you and hope you like it.
Merry Christmas!What present does the writer want most?
| A．Many pants. | B．A Wii. |
| C．Christmas cards. | D．An iTunes gift card. |
In the opinion of the writer, Christmas is a festival about _______.
| A．holiday movies | B．family togetherness |
| C．gift | D．playing video games |
Why does the writer suggest using packing tape to wrap presents?
| A．Because packing tape can make presents hard to open. |
| B．Because packing tape can make presents more beautiful. |
| C．Because packing tape can make presents last long. |
| D．Because packing tape is cheap. |
What always make the writer’s mother angry with him on Christmas Day?
| A．His disliking to her Christmas. |
| B．His never saying thanks to the family. |
| C．His wrong suggestions about presents. |
| D．His staying in the room playing games. |

Ten years ago, when I was in high school，Mrs. White was my language teacher. One day at lunch time, I was about to eat my cold fish sandwich and she suddenly asked me if she could buy my lunch from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria（食堂）. I was very pleased. I had never thought of going to the cafeteria to buy my lunch like other students. The food at the cafeteria was too expensive for my family.
Kids always complained about the cafeteria food but I really wanted to buy it. When we finished lunch that day, she told me that she was a Catholic and Catholics don’t eat red meat on Fridays --- they eat fish on Fridays. From then on, every Friday Mrs.White bought my fish sandwich and with the money I could buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria.
One year later, I learned from a classmate that Mrs.White was not a Catholic and her family was not rich. She bought my cold sandwich because she saw a little girl that was excited to have a hot lunch. She wanted to help me! I couldn’t help crying. I will never forget her kind heart. I will remember my dear Mrs.White all my life.Why didn’t the writer go to the cafeteria to have lunch?（no more than 4 words)

Every day, it is easy to see advertisements all around us. Look around. How many different advertisements can you see?
Often products show the names of the companies that made them. This is a popular form of advertising. The special picture or symbol, for example, logo, appears on many different products. When you see a logo, it is hard to forget the product or the company.
Many people buy a product because it is made by a certain company. In fact, some people only buy the products of the famous companies. They think it proves that they are fashionable and have a good taste.
It is common to find or hear advertisements on TV or on the radio. Most advertisements are very short for people to remember. Nike, for example, has a simple slogan used all around the world:“Just do it.” Advertisements often use funny situations as well. It is easy to remember an interesting ad.
All advertisements are designed to make people buy the products. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of fashionable young people who are having fun. The young people are all drinking the soft drink. Advertisers are saying to you, “Why don’t you buy it like these people? You can be young, modern and fashionable,too.”
