"Twenty-five years ago," he answered. "I was here for a week. Do you remember?" He added.___"You haven't changed much, either." It was polite for Roy to say so, but it wasn't true. Pat seemed almost an old lady.

___The next morning, Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on that roads and beside the roads, there was a new car park, a new post office and a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere-you just put up your hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone! The school was gone. A lot of farm machinery stood in the playground!

___But Roy's biggest surprise was the people. He didn't recognize anybody at all, perhaps because everyone seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. "Where are all the children and young people?" he asked the postmaster.

The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. "Children?" he said, "They are in school, of course. There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus-to Horham."

At lunch Pat said, "The village looks nice, doesn't it?"

"It's all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place. ___但是現(xiàn)在村子里滿是老年人。I don't understand..."

"There are few newcomers, but the ones we knew are still here. You're also not young, Roy, are you?"

Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year. It’s time we spend with family members, giving gifts to each other and eating plenty of delicious food. However, at the same time it can also be a nervous time. You have to spend much time and money planing and buying presents for everyone. You need to clean the rooms or even clear some of them out and put up the Christmas tree, the decorations and the balloons. And you have to communicate with your friends and relatives whom you perhaps wouldn’t usually spend so much time with. So what can we do to deal with these things to enjoy the happy season to the fullest?

Usually, you have to face the busy shops to do your Christmas shopping during this holiday. That can make you stressed out. To stay calm (冷靜的) during this holiday, you can start your shopping early. In other words, you can buy presents for people before Christmas comes so that you can save yourself some money. What’s more, you can buy your presents on the Internet, which means that you can find anything you can think of, and you can do it in your living room. It’s much cheaper, so you can save money.

Did you once drink more than usual, eat cakes you didn’t want or do something else which leave you feeling tired? Remember that it’s your right to enjoy Christmas the way you want to and that you should take no notice of those who tell you that you’re not being Christmassy.

Finally, you’d better have low expectations (期望). If your expectations are high, you will make yourself upset. Don’t let yourself be pressured (迫使) into making the Christmas perfect. So, just be satisfied to have a pleasant evening with your family and let what happens happen.

The bedrooms are above the living area and there are bathrooms and showers. You can get up to rooms and move between floors byusing ladders(梯子).

The Ice Hotel is in Jukkasjarvi, a village in Sweden 200 kilometers north of the Arctic（北極）Circle. Every winter, a team of architects（建筑師）, designers and snow builders build the hotel. This year there are 80 rooms.

Everything is made of ice. The walls, the floors, the ceilings（頂棚）, and even the furniture are made of ice. The beds are made of ice, too, but guests sleep on warm deer skins. Outside it can be -37℃, so inside it feels quite comfortable. The hotel has a bar, where guests can drink vodka（伏特加） from glasses made of ice. It's very popular — because there isn't much else to do.
