I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be _34_ 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  35  ?” Just when I started to  36  that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 37 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of  38  that I would no longer have to be embarrassed(尴尬) when I returned to school. I wasn’t  39  . Somebody had thought  40  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  41  Christmas there special and memorable, I  42  remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of  43  for as many children as I could possibly reach.

      So I 44  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,  45  with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were  46  . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I   47  them that they couldn’t open their presents  48 every child had come forward. Finally the  49 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  50  up the room. The  51 in the room was obvious, and 52  wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew  53  that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

more worse happened to me in the English class. The teacher              

asked me to recite the text, but I could speak nothing but                

sorry, for I did not spend any time prepare my lessons. The              

teacher looked at me with his coldly eyes. What a terrible              

day I had! I Will never do anything like that again.

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. He seemed even more puzzled as  24  went on and it became  25  that all the waiters in the restaurant knew me. Finally he got up and went into the  26  . When he came out, he paid his bill and  27  without another glance in my direction.
　　  I called the owner of the restaurant and asked what the man had  28  . “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective (侦探). He  29  you here because he thought you were the man he 30 . ” “What?” I said, showing my  31  . The owner continued, “He came into the kitchen and showed me a photo of the wanted man. I  32  say he looked very much like you! Of course, since we know you, we told him that he had made a  33  ”. “Well, it’s really  34  I came to a restaurant where I’m known,” I said. “  35  , I might have been in trouble. ”

It’s my favorite song and I will never _____ it.
