There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so    36    at the time may cause us to smile years later.

     One such memory is a phone call I    37    when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local    38    show. Entrants（参加者）were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus（女圣诞老人）! Mrs. Claus would award（奖励） the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

     I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had    44    the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had    45    a wall with crayons（蜡笔）. Even I knew that this was not the kind of    46    that Santa would approve.

     Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone（语气）of    47   , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I    48    that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.

     I    49    down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime（罪行）had not    50    unpunished. Santa would    51    know that I’d been bad!

     It turned out that I did get a    52    present from the radio station and its sponsor（赞助商）. And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a    53    mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not    54    a piece of coal（煤）.

     I wonder what Santa has in    55    for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

About 20 years ago, I was lucky to teach a disabled young woman named Audrey. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also very　 21　 in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university, she got two　 22　 , one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such　 23　 areas of study.

Just before her high school graduation, Audrey　 24　 me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolour painting of a mother and her baby. A tear　 25　 from the mother’s eye as she looked　 26　 at her child. Under the painting, Audrey had　 27　 these words: “The deep love from Mother, 　 28　 me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed and　 29　 in my office.

Years passed with many　 30　 from one office to another and I　 31　 the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I　 32　 a phone call from a former colleague who said she had 33　 of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years earlier. When cleaning out a storage room, she had　 34　 my gift.

I was struck that the　 35　 gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old, Audrey had a serious　 36　 . What’s worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She　 37　 it but was disabled.

To　 38　 , it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mother’s love has helped　 39　 a talent and how its　 40　 pushes me ahead.
