After an absence in thirty years, I decided visiting my old school again. I had expected to find
changes, but no a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a
moment if I had come to the right address. The grimy, red brick fortress with their tall windows
that had looked down grimly on the playground and playing fields had swept away. In its place
stood a bright, modern block raised from the ground on great concrete stilts. A huge expanse of
glass extended across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn where
previous there had been an untidy gravel yard.

III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer.
As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones were
reworked. The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought by Dutch settlers
to New York in the early 18 th century. Traditionally, Santa Claus - from the Dutch Sinter Klaas - was
depicted as a tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in
Germany, he was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. In North
America he eventually developed into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of
Saint Nicholas nor the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter.
Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A Visit from
Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The poem introduced many
Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and
drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened the legend during the
second half of the 19th century. Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced
and delivered toys to all good children. By the late 19 th century he had become such a prominent figure of
American folklore that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking if
Santa was real, she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”.
