The man had a newspaper  18  in front of him, which he was  19  to read, but I could  20  that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my  21  the man was clearly puzzled (困惑) by the  22  way in which the waiter and I  23  each other.

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be  1  Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d  2   ?” Just when I started to  3   that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women  4   at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of  5   that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t  6   . Somebody had thought enough of me to bring me a gift. 

      Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my  7   Christmas there special and memorable, I  8   remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of  9   for as many children as I could possibly reach.

      So I  10  a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,  11  with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were special. Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I   12  them that they couldn’t open their presents until every child had come forward. Finally the   13  they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles   14  up the room. The   15  in the room was obvious, and it wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew from that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

As long as I can remember, _______ I called, my son would answer.

AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.

We couldn’t afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher’s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.

I did not share my burden（负担）with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.

I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret. I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless. I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.

I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
