A [2015 .湖北八市高三聯(lián)考] Alice's mother died when Alice was five years old. Al?ice, who grew up to be my mother, told me that after her mother's death her family was too poor to even afford to give her a doll.

In December 2012, I had a job at a local bank. One after?noon, we were decorating the tree in the bank lobby(大廳). One of my customers approached me with her beautiful hand?made dolls. I decided to get one for my daughter, Katie, who was almost five years old. Then I had an idea. I asked my customer if she could make me a special doll for my mother-one with grey hair and spectacles (眼鏡)：a grandmother doll. And she gladly agreed.

A friend had told me that his dad who played Santa Claus would be willing to make a visit on Christmas morning to my home to deliver my Katie her presents, so I made some spe?cial arrangements.

Christmas Day arrived at the planned time; so did Santa Claus. Katie was surprised that Santa had come to see her at her own house. As Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his bag and found one more gift. As he asked who Alice was, my mother, surprised at her name being called, indicated that she in fact was Alice. Santa handed her the gift, with a message card that read:

For Alice ：

I was cleaning out my sleigh(雪橇) be fore my trip this year and came across this package that -was supposed to be delivered on December 25, 1953s The present inside has aged ， but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Many apologies for the lateness of the gift.

                            Love，

                           Santa Claus

My mother's reaction was one of the most deeply emo?tional scenes I have ever seen. She couldn't speak but only hold the doll she had waited for fifty-nine years to receive as tears of joy ran down her cheeks. That doll, given by " San?ta" ,made my mother the happiest "child" that Christmas.

1.The reason why the writer's mother couldn't have a doll when young was that___________ .

 

A.     Santa Claus forgot to deliver the doll to her

B.     her daughter couldn't make a doll by herself

B.the writer's mother was already in her sixties when she received the doll

C. the writer asked one of her friends to make the doll for her mother

D. Santa Claus was too careless to deliver the doll on time

 

3. When the writer's mother received the doll that she had waited so long, she was .

 

A.     pleased and inspired

B.     puzzled and angry

C.     happy and excited

D.     curious and grateful

4.The best title for this passage could be " ".

1. Sometimes they try to get out of a class to escape a teacher they don’t like．Here is some advice to solve this problem．

Ask yourself, “What can I learn from this teacher?” Even if you don’t worship （崇拜） his or her personality or lectures, dig deep until you find a subject in which he or she is very knowledgeable．Focus on that part of the teacher’s personality, and use him or her as a tool for learning．Not only will you gain more knowledge in that subject, but a closer relationship with your teacher may help you understand one another better．2.

Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips, tools, and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better．3.
