Question

【題目】

Autumn days give us some fantastic and lively colors. Then, suddenly,

the city is covered (覆蓋) with a thick sheet of snow. It is during this

special time of year that one of the most popular and enjoyed holidays

in America appears: Christmas. This time is so special that schools

often give students a two-week- break from their schoolwork to enjoy

the winter holidays.

My family takes this chance to spend two weeks together. We build a tree and decorate it with many colorful lights. On top of the tree, we put a glowing star. As night sets in, the dark room is warmly lit up by a bright Christmas tree.

Then, on Christmas Eve (前夕), our family has all the traditional American foods: turkey, sweet potatoes, vegetables, nuts, pies, and other good dishes. On this very night, there is a mysterious (神秘的) story, named Santa Claus, will fly from the North Pole and give presents to the children under the Christmas tree. However, Santa only gives presents to those who have behaved well the whole year. So children across America try to do one last good deed before the night by baking (烘烤) Santa some cookies, trying to ask him for presents. This is why Santa is so fat!

That night, children are often excited, hope to find presents. The next day, they rushed out of bed very early. Then, the whole family opens presents and spends the whole day relaxing.
