11． On the day before Christmas, a little girl saw a roll of gold wrapping paper (金色包装纸) on the floor. The wrapping paper looked so nice. She soon had an idea. She found a box and started to decorate (装饰) it. It took her about an hour to make the box look in the color of (1)      . She was excited and decided to put the (2)      under the Christmas tree.
When her father saw the box, he became frustrated (沮丧) . This year, it was (3)       for him to bring some money back home. Every dollar was important to the family. He felt sad to see her daughter waste (浪费) the wrapping paper. He asked the little girl to go back to her room and said: "You (4)       not watch TV tonight." So there was no TV time, but she did not say anything.
The next morning, the little girl brought the gift to her father and said: " This is (5)      you, Dad. " The man became very embarrassed (难堪) . He (6)       the box and found nothing was in the box. He was not happy and (7)       her: "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, you need to put something (8)       the box?"
The little girl looked up at (9)       with tears (眼泪) in her eyes and cried: "Oh, dad, there is something in the box. I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you, Dad."

14． Some Chinese dishes are popular in western countries but they may not be popular in China. Many Chinese people even don't know the names of them. Can you believe it?
About 70 years ago, a Taiwan chef (厨师)made a dish called General Tso's Chicken (左宗棠将军鸡). In fact, this dish has nothing to do with the General Tso (Zuo Zongtang). In the 1970s, the Taiwan chef brought it to America. Henry Kissinger loved it a lot and it soon became popular. The Chinese restaurants in America started to make the dish similar to General Tso's Chicken. The dish tasted a little salty and spicy (又咸又辣). But later, it became a sweet dish because Americans loved this taste. Now, General Tso's Chicken is also called Sweet and Sour Chicken. Maybe in Hunan, General Tso's hometown, a lot of people do not know much about this so called Hunan dish.
When Chinese people talk about "chop suey (杂碎)", they mean animal organs (器官) chopped up together. Western people don't eat organs, so the American "chop suey" is not a dish of animal organs. It is a mix of cabbage, pork, green pepper and onions. It is a Chinese dish to many people in western countries, but it is becoming less and less Chinese. Back in 1903, Liang Qichao tried this dish when he visited the United States. He said: "Chinese people would never eat such a dish. "

Three little rabbits listened to their mother and went to the field. But the naughty(顽皮的)Peter, ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's garden and got through the gate(门)! First, he ate some carrots and then some cabbages. He didn't feel well so he went to look for some parsley(香菜). Before he found some parsley, he met Mr. McGregor! Mr. McGregor was on his hands and knees to plant young cabbages. When he saw Peter, he jumped up and ran after him, calling out, "Stop!"
Peter was so afraid. He ran all over the garden, because he forgot the way back to the gate. He lost one of his white shoes among the cabbages, and the other shoe among the potatoes. After losing them, he ran on four legs and went really fast. Unluckily, he also lost his jacket. It was a new blue jacket. Peter had to run away so he left his jacket behind him.

They may be unhappy to be your pet. Some of them even lose their lives after leaving the wild. Today, they have say something to say.
