D.I'd love to
By the third year of teaching I’d begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday and less for the excitement of the children. I was teaching fourth grade and my students had made me 16 . I just had to get through one of the hardest days of the school year.
The morning bell rang. I walked 17 through the cold into the overly heated school building. Twenty-two smiling faces 18 me at the school bus stop. I forced myself to 19 their smiles. Back into the classroom, they 20 , comparing plans for the 21 . I had to remove one student from each arm 22 I could take a seat at my desk for my morning duties. Before I could find my roll book(点名册) my desk was covered with 23 and gifts followed by a 24 of “Merry Christmas” wishes.
“Oh, thank you,” I must have 25 a million times. Each gift was truly special to me, except my 26 mood. It was kind of them to 27 me. After a while, I heard a small nervous 28 say my name. I looked up to see Brandon standing 29 by my desk, holding a small, round gift. “This is for you.”
“Thank you, Sweetheart.” I laid it on my desk with the others.
“Um, could you 30 it now?”
I gently tore at the paper and tape. “ 31 ,” he said, “it’s breakable.” Slowly I opened a small, green Christmas tree ornament(装饰物), complete with a hook already 32 . It dawned on me what he had done. Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree. I tried to keep my 33 back.
Later that day, I sat 34 the ornament in my hands. Was I really so important to this child that he had searched for something to give me? Now every year as I 35 pull a green Christmas ball from my ornament box, I remember the deep influence my students have on me.

Angels
My friend Heather mentioned that she had never seen an Angel. Then I remembered the 36 I had with my sister Sandra earlier this week.
This will be Sandra’s first Christmas without her husband. This summer he died in her arms. On Thursday, she was in the store 37 for an ideal card for her two sons and daughter. Time passed by quickly as she 38 the many choices. She wanted a card that sent something special to each of them, 39 she knew they would have a(n) 40 place in their heart this holiday season.
Finally! She found the one that expressed the 41 feeling. The words expressed the feelings that she wished to share. However, a sharp pain pierced(穿透) her heart when she realized that the card was 42 “mom and dad.” She stood there, 43 it close for a long time, unable to move from the 44 . Tears began to run down her cheeks.
“Is there something I can do for you?” a 45 voice asked. She 46 to face a stranger, a woman, who was looking at her with 47 and concern. “Uh…oh...OH!” Sandra responded, “I can’t give this card to my children because…because my husband died and this is the 48 card.”
Hearing this, the stranger’s face softened with sympathy(同情) and love. She reached out and 49 my sister into her arms, giving her unspoken permission to cry in the protection of her embrace(拥抱). She 50 held my sister until her calmness 51 . “Thank you for listening to me cry on,” was what my sister said when all was better. “You are welcome, and I am so sorry for your 52 ,” the stranger answered and said goodbye to her.
During her telling of this event I was feeling 53 that I hadn’t been there. My sister needed me and a stranger had to do my 54 . “You know,” she went on, “a friend suggested that it was like meeting with an Angel.” My 55 disappeared in an instant. My sister required an Angel, and I think that is exactly what she got.
