The president wasn’t moved .Instead,he was shocked.“Madam,” he said,“we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and     .If we did,this place would look like a cemetory,” “Oh,no,” the lady explained quickly “We don’t want to put up a statue.We would like to give a building to Harvard.”The president rolled his eyes and      at the couple and then exclaimed,“A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs?

My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the        or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a        Christmas after all.
     , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.
There was a        on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to        us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a       on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had        a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.
The        feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.
As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas        from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to        us to dig out.
Then, we received an invitation to        a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their       —a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our       . Our Christmas morning        was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so       for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.
This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The        and work schedules just made things too difficult.        that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were        in the holidays.
Lonely people are all around us, but most of us        notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest        gesture can make a world of difference.
