One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts,it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11 th , 1 958,Mum gave birth to Richard.After she brought him home from hospital,she put him in my lap,saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night. I sang to it, I told it stories.I told it over and over how much I loved it!  
One morning, however,I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever. For several days,I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”,“pitiful",and “dying”, which sounded Ominous
Christmas was coming, “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke,his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.
From the window upstairs,I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty: they were filled with love !

As I sat beside the window that afternoon, my heart began to sink further with each passing car. This was a day I’d looked forward to for weeks: Miss Pace’s end-of-the-year party. I had   21   volunteered my mother when Miss Pace

requested  22   volunteers. By two o’clock other mother had come with their offerings, but there was no   23  of her. As the noisy party went on, I wouldn’t  24    the window, watching outside and holding out hope that Mum would come soon. The three o’clock bell soon woke me from my thoughts and I took my book bag and  25    out of the door for home.

On the walk home, I planned my revenge(报复). I would shut the front door angrily upon entering,  26   to return her hug when she rushed over to me, and vow(发誓)   27   to speak to her again. The house was    28  when I arrived. I was lying face-down on my bed, shaking with a mixture of heartbreak and 29  .

stared into my pilliow refusing to accept her presence. “I’m so sorry, honey,” she said. “I just   31  .

I rolled over and faced her,   35  to let her see the anger and disappointment in my   36  . But soon I found my mother wasn’t laughing at all, actually. “I’m so sorry,” she said, in tears, “I let my little boy   37  .” she sank down on the bed and began to cry like a little girl. I was shocked   38   I had never seen my mother cry . To my understanding, mothers weren’t supposed to. “It’s okay, Mom,” I said, “we didn’t even   39  those cookies. Don’t cry. It’s all right. Really.” My words made my mother sit up. She    40  her  eyes,and a slight smile appeared. I smiled back awkwardly(局促不安), and she pulled me th her.
