Unit 2 Working the land 阅读理解·组块专练——练速度 (限时：35分钟) .阅读理解 A (2017·河南省普通高中毕业班高考适应性测试) Last Friday, 6-year-old Landon Johnson went to the RiverTown Crossings Mall in Grandville with his family. While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires. After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii, a toy dinosaur and a remote control car, Landon hopped off Santas lap to rejoin his family. But a few moments later, he raced back to Santas side: hed forgotten to tell him something important. Specifically, Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism (自闭症) would land him on the “naughty list”． His mom, Naomi Johnson, explained to WOOD-TV this week that Landon is often told hes “naughty” by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior. “You get the stares when youre at the grocery store if hes too loud，” Johnson said. “Hes been told by other people before, ‘You dont need to be so naughty，’ or ‘Why are you naughty？’．” Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landons worries, and held the boys hands all the while. “Santa sat him next to him and took Landons hands in his and started rubbing them, calming them down. Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism? Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldnt. It shouldnt bother him to be who he is，” Johnson said. Landon told Santa that he sometimes “gets in trouble at school and its hard for people to understand that he has autism”， but that hes “not a naughty boy”． “You know I love you and the reindeer love you and its OK. Youre a good boy，” Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon. “Youre a good boy, you know.” Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santas thoughtful words. “This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message Ive been trying to get through to him for a while now — that hes special and I love him just the way he was made，” the mom told T. “Seeing Landons face light up in that moment was just incredible. I couldnt stop crying.
