Santa Claus
Santa Claus 7. from several historical figures. The most significant is Saint Nicholas, a bishop who lived almost two thousand years ago. He was famous for giving presents to the poor.

Santa’s modern appearance was created in 1881, when a painting showed him with a pipe, a white beard, and an armful of presents.
Mistletoe
This type of plant was thought to 8. diseases and keep evil spirits away. It also remains green all winter. These qualities probably made the mistletoe a Christmas symbol. If two people meet under the mistletoe, they should kiss.

When Christianity became widespread in Europe, people continued giving presents in winter. Eventually, the tradition became 9. with Christmas, but that didn’t happen until around 1900.

【Part III】When we were kids, we were taught the 31. of honesty through fairy tales and stories. The story of Pinocchio showed us the importance of telling the truth. The boy who cried wolf finally lost all his sheep as well as the trust of his fellow villagers. From these stories, we understand that “Honesty is the best 32. ,” but many of us still lie.
We sometimes lie in order to cover up our mistakes. While it is true that we make errors from time to time, some of us don’t have the courage to admit that we’ve made them. For example, some students might 33. their teacher about unfinished
homework. They might say that they left it at home when in fact, they didn’t even do it. These students didn’t want to seem irresponsible, so they made up an excuse—that is, a lie—to save face.
Another reason we lie is to get out of situations that we don’t want to be 34. in or cannot manage. If we would rather sleep in on the weekend than go camping with our family, we might give this excuse: “I have stayed up late recently to finish a company project, so I need to get some rest.” This type of lie is also told by students quite often. For instance, a boy who has been caught cheating on a test might not reveal what has happened to his family. This student may decide not to tell the truth because he isn’t confident enough to deal with the anger that he might face. When we don’t want to face 35. , lies are convenient ways to avoid difficulties.
In contrast, sometimes we tell white lies in order not to hurt other people’s feelings. If a good friend gets a terrible new haircut, we are likely to lie and say, “I like your new haircut. It looks good on you,” to spare his or her feelings. This type of lie is generally not considered bad or wrong. Many people tell white lies instead of the truth for the purpose of preventing negative reactions. Therefore, white lies can sometimes be useful in 36. good relationships.
Similarly, we tell “protective lies” so as to keep ourselves out of dangerous situations. Parents may teach their children to use this type of lie in certain 37. Some parents, for example, ask their children to say that Mom and Dad are too busy to come to the phone if a stranger calls while they are out. In this situation, protective lies may keep people safe from harm.
It is clear that people lie for many reasons, both good and bad. However, it is not always easy to determine which 38.
reason to give for a lie. Before we lie, perhaps we should rethink our 39. We never know when our lies might be 40. and cause us embarrassment or the loss of people’s trust.
( )31. (A) project (B) admission (C) error (D) virtue ( )32. (A) protection (B) consideration (C) reaction (D) policy ( )33. (A) reveal (B) manage (C) deceive (D) admit ( )34..
