【题文】As a single mother of four children and working at a low-paid job, I couldn’t get enough money for the family, but we had ____ on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always enough. Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was ____. I’ve always been glad about that.
Christmas was coming, and although there wasn’t enough ____ for a lot of gifts, we planned to hold a family party. And the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas ____.
The children planned weeks before, asking ____ what they wanted for Christmas. Luckily, I had saved $120 for them to buy ____.
The big day arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar note and ____ them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would ____ again at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
On the way home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, ____ my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually ____. She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything ____ we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, ready to be angry again.
This is what she told me: “I was looking ____, thinking of what to buy, and I ____ to read the little cards on the ‘
Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she ____ for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so ____ as I did that day.
