III. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. (1p)
Christmas is almost here. Holiday music fills the air. Colorful lights shine
brightly in windows. The stores are crowed with people buying last-minute gifts.
All these are Christmas traditions. Another tradition is snow. Christmas in the
northern part of the world comes a few days after the star of winter. So, in many
places, a blanket of clean white snow covers the ground on Christmas Day. This
is what is mean by a “While Christmas”.
Of course, many places do not get snow in December. In fact, they may be
very warm at that time of year. People who like snow - but live where it is warm
-dream of having a white Christmas. American songwriter Irving Berlin captured
these feelings in his song “White Christmas”. ”White Christmas” is one of the
most popular songs of all times. Hundreds of singers and musicians have
recorded it. Perhaps the most famous version was sung by Bing Crosby.
Songwriter Irving Berlin was Jewish. He did not celebrate Christmas as a
religious holiday. But in his Christmas song, he shared a message of peace and
happiness which all people a joy.
So from all of us - to all of you-we wish the happiest and most joyful holiday.
