His mom explained that sharing with those who were less fortunate was part of the holiday spirit and how a child who had less would be very happy to receive a gift.The day after Christmas Mike agreed to part with one of his gifts―a flute (笛子).“How will they know it is for a child?”he asked. His mother told him that he could attach a note to the flute and she helped him write one that read,“Please make sure this gets to a kid who doesn’t have toys.”On his tenth Christmas Mike looked over his three inexpensive gifts. His mother told him this year he didn’t have to part with a gift. He told her he wanted to. She gave him a big hug with tears in her eyes.The gift giving tradition continued into adulthood. Mike had not missed a Christmas in over 30 years. One Christmas Mike’s own 5-year-old boy asked,“What was the best gift you got for Christmas when you were a kid?”He explained to his son that the best gift he ever received didn’t come in a box,and you couldn’t even hold it in your hand. Just imagine the happy looks on the faces of the children as they open the gifts you sent them.The following day when Mike was getting ready for the drive to the donation box,his son came running out with a new toy in his hands. “Dad,I want to part with the toy;can you help me write a note?”Material gifts can be precious but the greatest gifts that we can give to children can’t be purchased at the mall. We should let children learn to share and help others in need.56.From Paragraph 1 we can learn that______.A.Mike was a very selfish boyB.Mike was from a rich familyC.Mike didn’t understand the spirit of ChristmasD.donating Christmas gifts was a tradition in Mike’s country57.Mike attached a note to the flute to______.A.let others know his good deedB.make sure it was given to a kidC.teach the receiver how to use the fluteD.hope the receiver would pay him back in the future58.What can we infer from the passage?A.Most children don’t have a gift on Christmas DayB.Mike didn’t stop donating gifts until he was in his thirties C.The best gift Mike ever received was the joy of helping othersD.Mike’s son was too young to understand the meaning of sharing BSpecial Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road --- Reported by Sheila Carrick Why did the chicken cross the road?
