3.People say teenagers are no gooThey make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down America’s main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forwarSoftly he began:“I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would attack her what would Nana say? ‘Oh what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career” he said with a voice now trembling. “That was Nana’s way.”Finally in a voice breaking free of sorrow he looked up and said “Nana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end when she xxxd peacefully which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlleWhen that boy rose to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide. I was moved and learned a lot.109. According to the first paragraph ().

4.There are good Santas and there are bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child Santa Claus is perfect.That’s difficult. And so they come from around the world to attend the Charles W. Howard School in Midland Mich. The school offers a three-day 40-hour course for Santas hoping to be excellent. A former Macy’s Santa named Charles Howard founded the Michigan school in 1937. “Many people will think if you have a suit and you’re a Santa” said Tom Valent the school’s current dean. “It’s more than that.” The school teaches everything from breathing techniques for carol singing to the beard maintenance. There are lessons in child psychology sign language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas also need to make sure they know all the names of the reindeer(驯鹿). What’s harder to deal with however is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.After spending time in the classroom Weir went to the mall to test his training. However at one point his hat fell off and he was unsure how to react. “You’re the real Santa” Valent sai“Pick that hat up slip it back on keep smiling and do your joYou’ve got to stay on top of your game. Even the last one at night when you’re tired you’ve got to remember: This one’s forever so do a good job.”113. According to the passage good Santas should be the ones that ()
