The evening before I had   21 risen from my seat and piled on excess (过量) noodles. Then I licked(舔)my bowl with the buttered garlic bread,   22 no evidence of the four servings I had eaten greedily. In the morning I would be forced to lie on my bed and suck in my   23  just to button my jeans. I feared school   24 . The sale rack, with its slender size markers, knew my number continued to grow.
I learned   25  to eat from my dad: fast and without thinking. In our house, the dinner table involved   26 ,with the children on defense. One   27  move and our dinner would be snatched off our plates without warning and eaten up by our father   28  than we could blink.

Only one pair of jeans I tried on fit. I   31  and told my mother I could button every pair but only needed the jeans that lay   32  in my hands. We walked to the checkout.
I kept my head down as we passed a group of girls. They   33 . I glanced up only long enough to know my place. Their   34  cut at me, hands cupped over their mouths in secrecy.
The shop was about to close and I   35  two girls in my third grade class out.
“I like your pants. Where did you get them?” Marcy asked Alicia. I nodded in agreement,   36 they had removed their cupped hands and I could hear the   37 .
“Really? I like yours better,” Alicia replied.
“We should trade. What   38  are you?” Marcy asked.
“I don’t know …” Alicia said, finding the tag in the back of her pants. “Seven.”
“Me too,” Marcy said.
I   39  in line as I held the jeans, tag folded in so   40  could see the number on it was 12. I am not a size seven.

Early this morning, I got up to make a batch of Rice Krispie treats(大米花糖) for my neighbor across the hall. She   21  greets me when we see each other, and her little boy, who’s now 4, won’t talk to me either.
Last Monday, she called the firefighters when a pan I’d forgotten on the stove caused my flat to     22  . I had gone for a walk, but when I came home the street in front of our apartment was   23   by a police car, a fire truck and an ambulance!   24   I saw them, I remembered the pan!
I felt safe knowing that    25  we don’t get along, my neighbor had done the right thing and didn’t blame me. Hence, the Rice Krispie treats.
Last Christmas, my neighbor revealed that she had been a little angry about me because of a(n) __26___ four years ago. I had apologized and asked if there was anything I could do to ___27___ our relationship, but she would not accept my     28  .
Her direct refusal really    29   me. After that, I decided I’d just leave her be—a relationship     30   two to work.
So, you see, I was really scared she was going to refuse my offer again,    31    me standing on her     32   holding my plate of treats. Then, I reminded myself of how good I had felt the day before when I’d done some random acts of ___33___ after telling myself: “ Feel the fear, and do it    34   !”
After placing the Rice Krispie treats on a beautiful plate, I opened my apartment door and met her in the hall way. I said:“I just wanted to tell you how    35   I am that you were paying attention on Monday.” I held the plate    36  her, explaining these were very sweet American treats and that she    37  try to see whether she and her family liked them. She took the plate and we talked a bit about   38   she’d become aware of the smoke in my flat before parting ways.
Back at home I    39   a “ happy dance”, because I had been kind even though I wasn’t sure it would be appreciated. I want to be able to be kind without expecting people to    40  in a certain way.

I looked at my beautiful Christmas tree and sighed. It was time. The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room with its collection of memories proudly displayed in a shower of colorful lights. I’d procrastinated(拖延,耽搁)long enough.

I got up, went to the garage and dragged all the boxes into the room. The garland(花环)was the first to come down. The tree looked naked(光秃秃的)already. I took the large ornament(装饰物)off next. They made a large pile on our bed. An hour later, our bed was covered with Christmas memories. Each pile contained an ornament along with its matching brothers and sisters from sets purchased many years ago.

I prepared the boxes and carefully placed ornaments in their protective packaging, pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite. “Hey, little Santa!” I held the Santa from my childhood. “Thanks for being my friend for almost fifty years.” He was a little ragged but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories. “Until next year, my dear friend.”

There was a collection of handmade ones. My children made in the their first years of school, more than twenty years ago. Made by tiny hands, they are far from perfect in design, but every year they go on my memory tree-memories of young giggles(咯咯地笑)on Christmas morning and a smiling face when they handed them to me when I came home from work. “Look what we made, Daddy!”

“Oh! It is beautiful. Let’s find a special spot on the tree for it.” Every year since, they are displayed.

A few hours after I started, the filled boxes were back in the garage, the room was vacuumed(用吸尘器清扫)and I sat staring at a barren(空荡荡的)corner. The room seemed so empty. It took me two days of work to assemble(收集)and decorate my tree, but only a few hours to take it apart.

My tree is like a good marriage or a great friendship. Like the tree, they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories, but can be torn down quickly.

Every year I have to put my tree away, but not my marriage or friendships. I take great care of those. They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live. I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year. I can do the same with the loves in my life every day. Take great care of your friendships and your marriage. Once they come down, they aren’t as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree. Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow.

1.In the author’s eyes, the Christmas tree      .

A.is a collection of childhood memories

B.is a symbol of long-lasting relations

C.takes too much time to decorate

3.What is the main theme of the article?
