Ⅵ. Read and complete the tasks. 读一读，完成下列任务。
At Christmas, many people think children will ask Santa for toys or nice dinners. But a survey shows that many kids have more important wishes, like “a dad”. Children would give up the latest iPad for one.
Most kids put a new baby brother or sister at the top of their list. Next is a real reindeer (驯鹿). The third one is a pet horse and the fourth is a car. Kids aged 3-12 also want dogs, chocolate and candy. Some sensible kids want a house. Some quirky children ask for the moon, a time machine (时光机), or a pond cover (池塘的盖子). That sounds interesting!
