Knitting(編織) is a popular craft in the United States. Knitters use needles and yarn to make garments such as scarves, gloves, hats, and sweaters. Some people prefer to knit by themselves. Other knitters enjoy getting together with others who love to knit, so they form a knitting circle—a club whose members chat and knit at the same time. If you want to start a knitting circle, planning is easy.
First, you should invite people to join your knitting circle. Ask your friends if they are interested in being part of the group. You only need two people to start your circle, but as the saying goes, “The more, the merrier!”
Next, you need to decide when and where to meet. A time in the evening or on the weekend might be the most convenient. You could get together at a member’s home, a local coffee shop, or a community(社區(qū)) center.
After you have decided on a time and place, tell the other members of the circle when and where you will meet and what they should bring. You might want to ask them to bring their own yarn and needles—and extra to share! Knitting circle members often lend and borrow materials (材料).
At your first meeting, you should discuss your long-term plans for the club. How often do you want to meet? Do you want to take turns to bring food and drinks to the meeting? Do you want to give things your group knits to a charity (慈善機構)?
Starting a knitting circle does not need much work. With some successful planning, after a few meetings, your group can become a close-knit community; in other words, a happy knitting family!
1.What is a knitting circle?
2.How many people do you need at least to start a knitting circle?
3.When is a good time for members of a knitting circle to get together?
4.What is the passage mainly about?

The Faces of Christmas
“ Oh, Sally! Christmas is going to be so terrible this year,” my best friend Laura said to me on the school bus. “ Mom and Dad have to be out of town on Christmas, and I have to stay with my Aunt Jane. She always treats (對待) me like a five-year-old! I wish I had a ______ family like you, so I could go somewhere else.”
I do have a big family: Mom, Dad, Mary, Jim and I, as well as lots of aunts and uncles. Every Christmas, the whole family get together at our house to have dinner.
Later that day, I told Mom about Laura’s ______ .
“ Why don’t you ask Laura to spend Christmas at our house? ” Mom offered.
“ Oh, Mom, that would be great! I’m sure Laura would love to come.” I was so excited.
“ There will be an extra (額外的) place at the table anyway, because Mary has a chance to go to France with her teachers.” Mom went on while washing dishes.
“No! Mom, she can’t go, or she’ll ______ Christmas with the family. We’ve always spent it together…” When I wanted to say more, the telephone rang. It was my brother Jim calling. He asked if Mom and Dad wouldn’t ______ too much if he didn’t come home for Christmas, because he wanted to go skating with friends. Of course, Mom and Dad said Jim could go, but I had wanted them to say no.
On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, Laura came over, which cheered me up a lot.
“Where are Mary and Jim?” she asked me.
“They’ve made other ______ , so they aren’t coming home,” I said. “Christmas just isn’t going to be the same this year ______ them.”
“Of course,” Mom went over and said. “No two Christmases are ever the same. People ______ —children grow older, new members are added (添加) to the family, and sometimes people die. Do you understand that, Sally?”
“ Yes, Mom,” I said. “ I think I do.”
Next evening, all my relatives (親戚) arrived. As I looked around the dinner table, I really began to ______ what Mom had tried to tell me. I saw the new faces of babies, my aunt’s boyfriend, and my best friend, Laura, and I saw the old familiar faces that would always be there. No, I thought. No two Christmases are ever the same.
