Jim Glaub and Dylan Parker had just been handed the keys to their new Manhattan apartment on 22nd Street when they were told something curious: “Just so you know, there’re letters addressed to Santa coming to the apartment.” The previous tenants (租戶) received the letters too. It had been coming for years and no one knows why.
Glaub and Parker settled in to their new home, and for the first two years only a few letters flew in from kids or parents asking “Santa” for gifts they could not otherwise afford: Toys, coats, a doll. Glaub, of course, is not Santa. He runs a Broadway marketing company. He and Parker managed to make both ends meet.
Then in the months leading to Christmas 2021, their mailbox was flooded. Every day, they’d open it to find it filled with letters to Santa. They responded to as many as they could, writing notes, even buying gifts. But they could do only so much. The letters coming in were far more than they could deal with so there was always a pile of letters in the corner of their dining room.
One night, when he and Parker held a Christmas party, a solution appeared. One of their guests noticed the hundreds of letters they’d yet to act upon and asked about them. And some guests even read the letters and knew a lot about the stories behind them, making them hold back tears due to the unlucky kids and their miserable parents.
Glaub told them the story and his guests were interested. “A lot of people were like, ‘I’ll take a letter. I’ll fulfill it.’” That’s when Glaub and Parker realized they didn’t have to fulfill all these letters themselves. “People want to help.” And there was a miracle (奇跡) born on 22nd Street, where a community-based volunteer organization that responds to children’s letters to Santa with greetings and gifts was established.

文章大意
Jim Glaub和Dylan Parker剛搬進位于曼哈頓22街的新公寓，就得知這里多年來一直收到寄給圣誕老人的信件。前幾年信件數量較少，他們力所能及地回復并滿足一些孩子和家長的簡單禮物需求，如玩具、外套、玩偶等。2021年圣誕節前夕，信箱被信件淹沒，他們難以應付。在一次圣誕派對上，客人了解情況后紛紛表示愿意幫忙，于是他們成立了一個基于社區的志愿者組織，專門回復孩子們給圣誕老人的信件并送禮物。

【答案】范文
To spread the kindness, they started a website, calling on others to take part. Working with other nonprofits that help those in need, they invited families from around the country to go online and request gifts for their children. On the other hand, donors, also known as “elves (精靈)”, can sign up to buy gifts for a child or family. Over time, their website owned many users with more and more people willing to respond to children’s letters and making their wishes come true. Undoubtedly, many miracles happened because of a community-based volunteer organization on 22’d street.
Their good deed (好事) was posted and praised by social media. Actually, what they did made a considerable difference to many families especially for those who suffered from some misfortunes and waited for some miracles, thus making the public pay close attention to it. The elves and the nonprofit organizations were thought highly of by many media. Besides, they appealed to citizens to join in the campaign and helped some unfortunate kids to realize their dreams. For the following years, on Christmas, Santa acted as the person who received the letter, which meant a lot to families living in desperation.
