2．Priest （牧师） had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down.The priest persuaded （劝说） and offered warm milk，etc.The kitty would not come down.The tree was not strong enough to climb，so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree would bend down，he could then reach up and get the kitty.He did so，checking his progress in the car again and again，then worked out if he went just a little bit further，the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty，But as he moved a little further forward，the rope broke.

She replied ，"You won't believe this." and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat，but she kept refusing.Then a few days before，the child begged again，so the mom finally told her little girl.

She told the priest， "I watched my child go out in the yard，get on her knees，and ask God for a cat.You won't believe this，but saw it with my own eyes.A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky，with its paws spread out.jye.ai landed right in front of her."

3．Nowadays ，people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festival ，especially those western festivals .
A survey conducted recently by sina.Com showed that among the 18，222 people surveyed 63.9% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation ，nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act ，showing they were not "out".These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young .10.45 percent people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness .Only 7.8% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization（殖民）。
The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China's economy .In my opinion of view ，Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin .They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life .Shop owners' pockets are filled，the public's hunger for happiness is filled ，and that is enough .Foreign festivals in china are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment .
The crisis （危机）of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals.Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life.
But the western culture shows much of romance .Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people .At this point ，food seems to be too plain .Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.
Foreign festivals in China today are celebrated for fun .They give people opportunities to relax and to show appreciation and gratefulness .The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public ，the familiarity with the western culture ，and most importantly ，on people's economic status.
（1）From the survey we know that among the people surveyed
A．Most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous
B．Many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon
C．Some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing
D．half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of faction
（2）The writer think that foreign festivals celebrated in China
A．have lost their religious background
B．are the same as those celebrated in the west
C．can give more fun than traditional Chinese festivals
D．may reduce the hunger of public people

A．Foreign festivals can make Chinese shop owners'pockets full quickly
B．The food at foreign festivals is too simple
C．Chinese festivals always have something to do with culture
D．Foreign festivals are romantic while traditional Chinese ones are connected with reality
