31、dren are taught that he brings them presents the night before Christmas, and many children up to the age of 7 or 8 really believe this is true. In most countries, it is said that he lives near the North Pole, and arrives through the sky on a sledge (snow-cart) pulled by reindeer(驯鹿). He comes into h
32、ouses down the chimney at midnight and places presents for the children in socks or bags by their beds or in front of the family Christmas tree.In shops or at childrens parties, someone will dress up as Father Christmas and give small presents to children, or ask them what gifts they want for Christ
33、mas.

38、ring Christmas because Father Christmas is magical. D. Children are very excited during Christmas because its a wonderful time for them.CNo one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. Strangely, though, most people seem unprepared for disappointment and react to it in negative(消
39、极的) ways. They feel depressed(消沉) or try to escape from their troubles instead of using disappointment as an opportunity for growth.One negative reaction to disappointment is depression. A woman trying to win a promotion, for example, works hard for over a year in her department. Helen is so sure sh
40、e will get the promotion. In fact, she has already picked out the car she will buy when her salary increase comes through. However, the boss names one of Helens co-workers for the spot. Deeply depressed, Helen loses her enthusiasm for her job and can barely force herself to show up every day. Helen
41、tells herself that she is a failure and that doing a good job just isnt worth the work.Another negative reaction to disappointment, and one that follows depression, is the desire to escape. Kevin fails to get into the college his brother is attending, the college that was the focus of all his dreams
42、, and decided to escape his disappointment. Why worry about college at all? Instead, he covers up his real feelings by giving up on his schoolwork and getting completely involved with friends, parties, and “good times”.The positive(积极的) way to react to disappointment is to use it as a chance for gro
43、wth. This isnt easy, but its the only useful way to deal with an inevitable (不可避免的) part of life. Helen, the woman who was not promoted, could have handled her disappointment by looking at other choice. If her boss did not recognize her talent and hard work, perhaps she could transfer to another dep
44、artment. Or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she could prepare for the next promotion. Kevin, the boy who didnt get into the college of his choice, should look into other schools. Going to another college may encourage him to be his own person, step out of his brothers s
45、hadow, and realize that being turned down by one college isnt a final judgment on his abilities or potential.Disappointments are unwelcome, but regular visitors to everyones life. We can feel depressed about them or we can try to escape from them. The best thing, though, is to accept a disappointmen
46、t and then try to use it somehow: step over the unwelcome visitor on the doorstep and get on with life.64. In this passage, the author _. A. explains the cause of disappointment B. describes his personal experience in dealing with disappointmentC. criticizes (批评) Helen and Kevins negative responses
47、to disappointmentD. offers specific (特定的) examples of the ways people deal with disappointment65.

50、ntment in negative ways. DThe impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview.

Others dont.Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit，walk，gesture，use your voice and show

53、 voice. When you speak， look at the interviewer. Also， dont say negative things about yourself， or former employer. Listen to questions carefully.
