This message is to inform all the children that Santa's post office in Himmelpfort, Germany, is open to receive your holiday wishes. That means you can mail your letters to Santa about 6 weeks sooner than that last year. Santa knows you've been good and wants to make sure he and his helpers receive your wish list earlier.

Eight post offices are organized across Germany to answer all letters children send. This year they plan to receive over 250,000 letters. Though the letters fly from over 80 different countries, Santa and his helpers can understand and make sure to answer all the letters.

In 1984, two children from Berlin sent their wish lists to Himmelpfort after spending vacation there. Their letters were answered by postal employees and later Himmelpfort increased its helpers to meet the needs of increased mail traffic. Year after year, Santa and his crew use an eco-friendly powered vehicle to collect the thousands of letters he receives from young boys and girls. The great news for this year is that if you come to the beautiful town of Himmelpfort, you can drop off your letter and visit Santa in person, from Tuesdays to Thursdays until Christmas Eve.

Santa does not currently have an e-mail, Twitter or a Facebook account. He believes in old-fashioned communication. So get out your paper and write your wish list. Just make sure your letter is clear so you can receive an official response, send your letters to:

Santa

Recently our class have had a heat discussion on whether the score of English should be reduced by 100. Opinions concerned this hot topic vary from person to person.

Some students in favor of it. They thought reducing the score may be a good chance for our students, we are supposed to attach much important to Chinese. It is no need for every student to learn English so hard.

However, others disagree with it. They think it’s English that play an important role in international communication. In their opinion, reduce the English score isn’t a wise choice.

Personally, I agree with the latter.

My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.

Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “ Your son is OK. ”

When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.

I hurried over to him. "You OK?" I asked.

“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest.

The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.

In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.

Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him, but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What's for supper?”

I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep.

1.Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?

A. He was an excellent swimmer.

B. The water of the river is shallow.

C. He was old enough to swim.

D. The rocks can be of help if there's danger.

2.The underlined part "who tends to play his cards close to his vest" probably means________.

A. Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids

B. Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks

C. Anton always has a desire to help others

D. Anton seldom changes his mind

3.In the mother's eyes, what her son did was_________.

A. dangerous but interesting B. meaningful but difficult

C. unexpected and courageous D. awful and absurd

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. My Son, My Hero B. Anton, A Silent Boy

C. A Good Deed D. A Proud Mother

Hong Kong businesses hit by nearly two months of illegal street occupations breathed a collective sigh of relief on Wednesday. Police finally cleared illegal protesters camped at the main intersection in the Mong Kok district, arresting two student leaders.

More than 7,000 officers backed bailiffs (執(zhí)達(dá)官，法警)clearing occupied sections of Argyle Street and Nathan Road. The two-day operation saw 148 people arrested for various offenses, including contempt (藐視) of court, resisting arrest, possession of offensive weapons, unlawful gathering and attacking police.

The Chief Leader Stephen Hui said 22 officers were injured during the clearances.

Police used pepper spray and batons (警棍)to keep protesters from reclaiming cleared roads and from spreading the illegal occupation to neighboring streets.

Six-lane Nathan Road, which goes through the heart of Kowloon, was cleared after nearly five hours. However, comments on the Internet said protesters were looking to reoccupy roads later in the evening.

This week's actions mark the first time the authorities have successfully cleared one of the three main protest sites, which sprang up after demonstrators seized key intersections in late September to press for unconstitutional reforms.

Contractor Kwan Sui-sum, 55, said he wished the Nathan Road clearance had come earlier, as he has had to pay HK$20,000 ($2,580) after the protesters delayed building reconstruction work. The owner of the Chung Hing Duty Free drug store was cautiously optimistic and eager for his store at the corner of the cleared intersection to get back to business. Sales dropped by 40 percent during the occupation, he said.

“I'm not worried about the guess that the protesters will return. I trust in Hong Kong's rule of law and in the police,” the man said, who wished to remain unknown as he fears attack from protesters.

But five stores at a cleared site owned by jewelry chain Chow Tai Fook were still closed hours later. A company spokesman said the outlets will remain shut while it continues to monitor the situation.

1.You can infer from the passage that _______.

A. the Hong Kong police cleared the roads at a cost

B. all the Hong Kong citizens are doubtful about the result of the clearances

C. all the illegal protesters were willing to leave the protest sites

D. the Hong Kong government’s attitude to the illegal protesters is unclear

2.In the two-day operation,_________.

A. many Hong Kong citizens joined in it

B. all the protest sites were cleared

C. many illegal protesters were arrested

D. all the stores were still open

3.What Hong Kong police will probably do next according to the passage?

A. They will help the owners of the stores do their businesses.

B. They will try their best to arrest other fled illegal protesters

C. They will help the officers injured during the clearances.

D. They will arrange to take more action to finish the clearances.

4.This passage is mainly about ______.

A. Hong Kong businesses hit by nearly two months of illegal street occupations

B. the event that police cleared Hong Kong protest sites

C. shop owners who wished to remain unknown as he fears attack from protesters

D. Hong Kong citizens who doubt the police's clearances
