I have tried to write a ghost story that won't make you unhappy with yourselves, with each other, with the seasons, or with me. I hope it haunts your houses pleasantly.
Charles Dickens
One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold, foggy day. The fog
was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark.
"Merry Christmas, Uncle! God bless you!"cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge s nephew.
"Bah!" said Scrooge. "Humbug(骗人的话)!"
"Christmas is a humbug! Surely you don't mean that, Uncle," said his nephew.
"I do," said Scrooge. "Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry? You're poor."
"OK, then," replied the nephew cheerfully. "What reason have you got to be sad? You are rich. Don't be angry, Uncle!" said his nephew.
"What else can I be?" answered the uncle, "I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas! What's Christmas time to you? It's a time for paying bills without money. It's a time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying 'Merry Christmas' should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!"
"Uncle! Please don't say that!" said the nephew. "I've always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable, happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!"
Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded(鼓掌). He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him.
"One more sound from you, Bob Cratchit," said Scrooge, "you'll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!"
"Don't be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow."
"No," said Scrooge.
"I'm sorry you don't want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle!"
"Good afternoon!" said Scrooge.
"And a Happy New Year!" said his nephew.
"Good afternoon!" said Scrooge again.
His nephew left the room. He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas. And Bob replied, "A Merry Christmas to you, too."

第七部分阅读表达(共3小题;53题1分，54题2分，55题3分，满分6分)
请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在横线上。

Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to face the failure(失败). In fact, failure can become experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard to prevent failure or protect their children. One way is to lower standards. Nearly 60% of parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as "perfect" even though it doesn't stand still. The other way is to blame(责怪)others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
There's a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for the real life if they don't meet enough failure. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time. The young should be allowed to experience failure.
Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it.
53. How many ways do most parents choose to prevent failure and protect their children?
54. What should young people be allowed to experience?
55. Do you agree with the writer? What should you do when you face the failure?
