While-reading
Read the following two excerpts and answer the questions
Christmas 1925
One very windy day last November, my hood (兜帽) blew off and went and stuck on the top of the North Pole. I told him not to, but the North Polar Bear climbed up to the thin top to get it down -- and he did. The pole broke in the middle and fell on the roof of my house, and the North Polar Bear fell through the hole it made into the dining room with my hood over his nose, and all the snow fell off the roof into the house and melted and put out all the fires and ran down into the cellars (地窖), where I was collecting this year’s presents, and the North Polar Bear’s leg got broken.
December 23rd, 1931
We have both, the old Polar Bear and I, enjoyed having so many nice letters from you and your pets. If you think we have not read them you are wrong; but if you find that not many of the things you asked for have come, and not perhaps quite as many as sometimes, remember that this Christmas all over the world there are a terrible number of poor and starving people.
I have had to do some collecting of food and clothes, and toys too, for the children whose fathers and mothers and friends cannot give them anything, sometimes not even dinner. I know yours won’t forget you.
1. If you were Tolkien’s children, how would you feel after reading this letter?
2. What’s the difference between the two letters?
“The letters did, however, change as Tolkien’s children got older.”

That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard Christmas as a special time of year. The man who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature --- J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings.

The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas’s life and adventures at the North Pole. A regular character in the letters was Polar Bear, who once climbed the North Pole (an actual pole in this case) and fell through the roof of Father Christmas In another letter, Faher Christmars complained about how he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up. Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good. The letters did, however, change as Tolkien’s children got older.
这些信里讲述了圣诞老人在北极生活和探险的精彩故事。信中经常出现的角色是北极熊。有一次,它爬上北极(在信中,北极是一根真的杆子), 结果摔下来砸穿了圣诞老人家的屋顶。在另一封信里,圣诞老人抱怨说,他那些助手们非但没有把玩具包装起来,反而拿着玩具玩起了游戏,他怎么也没法让他们停下来。值得关注的是,信里并没有那些常见的对孩子的警告,比如表现不好就可能得不到礼物之类的话。不过,随着托尔金的孩子们渐渐长大,信的内容确实发生了一些变化:
