[1]That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard Christmas as4 a special time of year.[2]The man who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature5—J.R.R.Tolkien，author of The Lord of the Rings.The letters were Tolkien’s way of keeping Father Christmas alive for his four children，over a period of more than twenty years.

Every Christmas，an envelope with a North Pole6 stamp arrived.It was addressed to7 Tolkien’s children.Who could it be from? [3]The children must have been very excited as they opened it.Inside，they would find a handwritten letter8 from Father Christmas.The letters were also beautifully illustrated—each must have taken its true author，Tolkien，a long time to complete.

[3]本句为复合句。as引导时间状语从句，句中的must have been是must have done结构，表示对已发生动作的肯定推测，意为“一定做了某事”。

8．一封手写的信

The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas’s life and adventures at the North Pole.[4]A regular character in the letters was Polar Bear，who once climbed the North Pole (an

actual pole in this case9) and fell through the roof of Father Christmas’s house.[5]In another letter，Father Christmas complained about10 how he could not stop his helpers playing games11 with the toys instead of12 wrapping them up13.[6]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：

...[7]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 of14 poor and starving people15.

[4]本句为复合句。who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Polar Bear，在从句中作主语。

[5]本句为复合句。how引导宾语从句，作complained about的宾语。

[7]本句为复合句。if引导条件状语从句，在从句中that引导的是宾语从句；you asked for是省略了引导词的定语从句，修饰先行词things；主句中的remember后面是that引导的宾语从句。
