I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a freezing cold wet day in the winter of 1975. I remember the right moment, hiding behind a fragile mud wall, peeking (窥视）into the alley (胡同）near the frozen stream. That was a long time ago ，but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I，ve learned, about how you can bury it, because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I，ve been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.One day in summer, my friend, Rahim Khan called from Pakistan. He asked me to come to see him. Standing in the kitchen with the receiver to my ear, I knew it wasn’t just Rahim Khan on the line. It was my past of unatoned sins (未能弥补的罪行) After I hung up, I went for a walk along Spreckels Lane on the northern edge of Golden Gate Park. The early afternoon sun sparkled on the water where dozens of small boats sailed, driven by a gentle breeze. Then I glanced up and saw a pair of kites with long blue tails, soaring in the sky. They danced high above the trees on the west end of the park, over the windmill, floating side by side like a pair of eyes looking down on San Francisco, the city I now call home.And suddenly Hassan5S voice whispered in my head: For you, a thousand times over. Hassan the hare-lipped kite runner. I sat on a park bench near a willow tree. I thought about something Rahim Khan said just before he hung up, almost as an after thought. There is a way to be good again. I looked up at those twin kites. I thought about Hassan. Thought about Baba. AU. Kabul. I thought of the life I had lived until the winter of 1975 came along and changed everything. And made me what I am today.小题1:After 1975，the hero of the story spent his life_____.A．with happinessB．with regretC．in peaceD．in danger小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A．Rahim Khan spoke ill of the heroB．the hero had made up for his wrong-doingsC．San Francisco was the birthplace of the heroD．something bad might have happened in the alley小题3:The writer attracts the readers by using_____a.an impressive opening b.a lively description of inner thoughtsc.concrete and vivid language&&d.a detailed plot of the storyA．abcB．bcdC．acdD．abd小题4:What is the passage mainly about？A．A hide-and-seek game.B．A forget-me-not event.C．kite-flying competition.D．A coming-of-age story.

An Australian Boy in Beijing
809 West Chang an Street
Beijing, China
December 21, 2003
Dear Peter,
　　I've been here in Beijing for half a year now. Beijing is in the north of China, so it's quite cold in winter. It has just snowed twice here.
　　I'm going to have the first”White Christmas”in my life ! It's hard to believe. Isn't it so warm in Australia and so cold here?
　　Thank you for the wonderful stamps! I've collected over 300 Chinese stamps since I came here. I'm sending some Monkey King stamps to you. I think you will like them.
　　Now to answer some of your questions. Yes, I'm learning Chinese. Chinese is quite a difficult language for me. Last time Mum asked for some quilts（被子）in a shop. They showed her some cups. Dad and I had a good laugh over that. I've learned about 500 Chinese words. I can even write a little Chinese now. Have you looked at the words on the Christmas card? I wrote them myself!
　　 No, I'm not swimming. Instead, I'm learning to skate on real ice! I've had so many falls that I'm black and blue all over. But I'm learning fast.
　　 I've traveled to several places in south China with Mum and Dad since we came to China. I've seen a lot of interesting things. I've made quite a few good friends, too.
　　I have to finish the letter now. Ask Uncle John and Aunt Alice to bring you, too, when they come in August. We'll have a good time together then.

Ski resorts have a long tradition of welcoming guests on Christmas Day, though the practice is less common for smaller ski centers.
For West Mountain in Queensbury, Christmas Day skiing will be available for the second year in a row. The ski center will welcome patrons from noon to 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
Most Popular
"A lot of resort destinations are open for Christmas ... and it's traditional anywhere you're staying (for a ski trip), that there's skiing Christmas Day," said West Mountain co-owner and manager Spencer Montgomery. "We're really trying to become ... more of a resort/holiday destination, which sort of plays into where we hope to take West Mountain."
Apex Capital, the investor group that owns West Mountain, has discussed long-term goals of developing property Apex owns adjacent to the ski center at the base and top of the mountain.
The goal is for ski-in, ski-out accommodations like those available at large ski resorts.
Christmas Day operations also give those who find shiny new ski or snowboard gear under their tree a way to try it out without much fuss, Montgomery added.

"A lot of kids get ski gear for Christmas presents and want to try it out Christmas Day, but they may not want to jump in the car and drive an hour or two or three to the north to the bigger centers that are open," Spencer said. "But they could come over here for two to four hours and get to test out their equipment."
Most of the larger ski destinations within daytrip distance of Glens Falls -- Gore, Whiteface, Killington, for instance -- are open Christmas Day. And while some smaller, community ski centers in the state are open on the holiday, they tend to be venues in areas that are already tourist-friendly.
"Spencer's decision to operate West on Christmas Day, I think is a good one," said Scott Brandi, president of Ski Areas of New York Inc. "West is so close to such a large skiing population. I think if you did a survey, you'd find about half of the smaller, more community resorts are open on Christmas Day."
Willard Mountain in Greenwich is among those that won't be open for the holiday, according to General Manager Jeff Fitzgerald.
"We're no I think our customers tend not to ski on Christmas, so we choose to sit that day out," Fitzgerald said. "(West Mountain) has a lot of hotels around it, where we don't have that, so I think (Montgomery) is right, and if I were a general manager of West, I think I would run on Christmas, just given that proximity to Lake George and out-of-town guests."
Montgomery said working on Christmas Day -- both last year and this year -- is on a volunteer basis for West Mountain employees. About 70 percent of the staff opt to turn out for the shortened day.
"Obviously, it's a religious holiday, but we do have people that enjoy working on Christmas and picking up the extra hours," Montgomery said. "I remember when I worked in the resort community in Breckenridge, Colorado, I actually enjoyed working Christmas ... because normally people are in a good mood."
This weekend -- starting Friday night -- is the first opportunity for visitors to use West Mountain's tubing park. And the waffle hut, West Waffles, will make its belated debut this week, after getting approvals needed from the state Health Department. The waffle hut was supposed to open last year, but there were more requirements than expected for the tiny, stand-alone food-truck-sized structure.
Last Christmas Day, Montgomery said 100 to 200 patrons showed up to enjoy the snow.
"It wasn't huge," he said. "I don't think we had crowds that would have rivaled other days of the holiday week, but there definitely was a turnout ... and the people that were here were definitely appreciative that we were open."

Of course, Christmas Day skiing will still depend on the weather, and Montgomery said snowmaking was in full swing Friday in anticipation of a possible rain event Christmas Eve.
If it were raining coming into Christmas Day, and the conditions weren't safe, we wouldn't open," Montgomery said. "So, if it's raining and miserable, where people wouldn't come out to enjoy themselves, we won't operate."
Donald Preuninger, owner of Garnet Hill Lodge in Johnsburg, said the rain is more likely to fall as snow on his cross-country ski trails. That was the case for a storm system that dropped mostly rain and freezing rain on Glens Falls earlier this month.
"We have 14 or 15 inches of snow, all together," Preuninger said. "It's a good, 8-inch base now, and we expect to get more snow Monday and Tuesday."
The Christmas holiday week is one of the two biggest of the season for Garnet Hill. The other is the week of President's Day.

The resort offers a variety of accommodations. And skiing Christmas Day -- and New Year's Day -- is a big deal for guests, Preuninger said.
There are special dinners on Christmas Eve and Christmas at the lodge, and some families come back year after year to experience the holiday in the mountains.
"People love coming in and sitting by the fire and having dinner," Preuninger said. "It's just kind of cozy."
