A Dear Santa, What do I ask this year? I have read each ad carefully in my mailbox, and looked through the colorful ads in the newspaper. There are so many lovely things, but I need nothing. I realize this as I walk up the hill on my strong legs. I can hear the air fill my lungs. I feel the cold on my cheeks. I smell the smoke of the fire that warms my home. I see the snow-covered mountains and the small river dotted with fat geese. I need nothing. There are people who love me. There are people who forgive my sometimes bad temper and who touch me with loving hands. There are neighbors who smile in the store. There are shopkeepers who tolerate me when I don’t have enough money. There are kind faces in public places. There is a fat cat who often slides into my garage. Dogs and other cats share my hearth ; I love to feel their fur with my feet. There are hawks that teach their young how to fly, right there behind my house. There are deer that wander into my yard and smell apples. Green beans, tomatoes, peas and carrots color my kitchen. And a full bucket (桶) of hand tools and neatly dried seeds promise next year’s rich harvest. I need nothing. Today I discovered a hole in my jeans. I felt the December air flow down my leg. How powerful the hand is that sweeps the wind along the mountains! Santa, dear old soul, just give me another day like this one in my life. 1. The author has read each ad in his mailbox in order to . A. find something as a present for himself B. find something as a present for his kids C. get the news about vegetable prices D. get the news about pet animals 2. What’s the author’s attitude towards life? A. Uncertain. B. Anxious. C. Hopeful. D. Dissatisfied. 3. We can learn from the text that the author . A. is very old and in bad health B. lives alone and has few friends C. is too poor to pay for good clothes D. may live close to mountains and rivers 查看更多
