Actually, long-distance bicycle camping is one of the happiest activities I have ever experienced. I generally sleep poorly at night, but in the woods on a tour, I sleep like a baby with the music of insects. In the morning, birds wake me up. I eat a snack before getting up, and then I quickly pack my sleeping bag, tent, and other things and get on the road. Usually I have less speed. Traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere, such as lakes（especially places to swim）, woods, and scenic spots（景點）.

Somewhere near lunch, I find a small drugstore and buy some bread, sandwich materials, and fruit. In the afternoon, my speeds are higher, and I spend less time at stops. In the late afternoon, I start thinking about stopping. I finally find a place in the early evening, cook a simple meal, and rest and cool off. As it starts to get dark, I put up my tent, and fall asleep.

There are exciting times and difficult times as well. Visiting strange or famous places are always exciting to me. I meet and talk with interesting people along the way. Enjoying beautiful scenes, meeting wild animals（usually at my camping site）, and traveling up and down hills also make me cheerful. On the other hand, I may run into rainy or hot days, have to repair my bike, or just find myself in a bad state. The problems are easily dealt with. The pleasures remain in my mind for years.

1. Where does the writer usually have a good sleep?

A. In a hotel. B. At home.

C. In the woods. D. In a drugstore.

2.From the passage, we know the writer has the following abilities EXCEPT ___.

A. Cooking outside B. Talking with animals

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（商標(biāo)）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（透明膠帶). 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!

1.What present does the writer want most?

A. Many pants. B. A Wii.

C. Christmas cards. D. An iTunes gift card.

2.In the opinion of the writer, Christmas is a festival about _______.

A. holiday movies B. family togetherness

C. gift D. playing video games

3.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.

4.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.
