(10 points)When my kids were small, I started a tradition in our house of giving eight gifts over the course of the eight days of Hanukkah(光明节). I liked the idea of 1 a candle every night and giving my children a gift to unwrap to 2 . It was easy to go into a toy store and pick up something 3 less than $10 each, or even $1 each (at the Dollar Store). My children didnt ask for anything much in particular and they 4 whatever they got.As the years progressed, I 5 the tradition of eight gifts for each night of Hanukkah.But this year, Hanukkah 6 something else. My special-needs son decided that he wanted to 7 a computer, and it was up to me to buy all the parts of it. When I wouldnt 8 that, he decided he wanted a PlayStation. Then Amazon gift cards. Then money. And it became clear that it wasnt going to happen, he got 9 .I keep 10 him that Hanukkah isnt about greed or materialism. Its about the miracle of an oil lamp that 11 for eight days.

(40 points)Text 1British writer John Donne once said: “No man is an island; every book is a world.” As an enthusiastic reader, I cant agree with the latter part of the sentence more. Every summer, I endeavor to find some peaceful places where I can attack some classics without being disturbed. Thomas Hardy wants to live far from the madding crowd. I am no friend to chaos, either.I read George Orwells 1984 in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms. 1984 is a good book that needs deep reflection. Attempting Sound and Fury lying on the bed of a poorly-occupied motel, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes, but then my eyelids were so heavy that I couldnt keep them open.But this summer I find myself at a loss. Im not quite interested in J.DSalinger, say, or Frankenstein. Theres always War and Peace which Ive covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyones name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favoriteonce more into The Call of the Wild or Alice in the Wonderland, which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong to serious literature.And then theres John Steinbecks The Grapes of Wrath. This title does not amaze but confuse. Were never short of sour grapes, but weve never heard of angry grapes. Anyway grapes are my favorite fruit of summer. These stone fruits can always make me feel cheerful and peaceful all at once.1、What can we infer from Paragraph 2?AThe author has a cottage in New England.B1984 is a book that needs careful thought.CBoth of the reading attempts were not fruitful.DSound and Fury was set in a poorly-occupied motel.2、What does the underlined phrase “get bogged down” in paragraph 3 refer to?AGet confused. BBe carried away.CBe interpreted. DMake no progress
