Question

Abbie, shy and quiet, started her ninth grade in a new school. She soon found herself  1   her old class. This new school was much too cold and  2   !

       No one at this school seemed to  3   if Abbie felt welcome or not. She walked the halls every day almost invisible; her  4   was never heard.

       Her parents were very worried about her and they knew since they got divorced（离婚）,she probably needed a  5   very badly. They tried everything they  6   to help her fit in. They bought her clothes and CDs, but it didn’t  7  .

       Believing that no one would ever become her real friend, Abbie often  8  herself to sleep. She was all alone with  9   to do but let her mind run  10   .

       She once tried  11   a Christian youth group at a local church, hoping to make friends but her   12   failed her again. Abbie was so upset that she was thinking of ending her life. She decided that she would jump  13   the local bridge on Christmas Eve, while her parents were at a party.

         14   she left her warm house for the bridge, she decided to leave her parents a note in the mailbox. When she opened the mailbox, she found some letters already there.

       She  15   the letters out and found one addressed to her. It was a card from one of the guys in the youth group:

       Dear Abbie,

       I want to apologize for not talking with you   16   You know, my parents are in the middle of a divorce, so I am hoping you could help me with some questions I have about divorced kids. I think we could become friends. See you at Youth Group on Sunday!

                                                                             Sincerely your friend, Wesley Hill

       She  17   at the card and read it over and over again. “Become friends,” she smiled,  18 that someone cared about her life and wanted her as a friend. She felt so special.

       She called Wesley. I guess you could say he was  19   Christmas miracle（奇迹）because

  20   is the best gift you can give anyone.
