Christmas was an exciting season for my six-year-old son. For weeks, he’d been memorizing   36  for the “Winter Ceremony” in his kindergarten class. I went to  37  their rehearsal(排演).

My son’s class rose to sing “Christmas Love”. Those in the front row on the center stage held up large  40 , one by one, to spell out the  41  of the song. When the class sang: “C is for Christmas,” a child would hold up the letter C, then another would hold up “H” for happy, and on and on,  42  each child was holding up a letter, presenting the  43  message, “Christmas Love”.
The performance was going  44 , until suddenly we noticed her, a small, quiet girl in the  45  row holding the letter “M” upside down-totally  46  that her letter “M” appeared as a “W”. The audience began to laugh at this little girl’s  47 . But she had no idea that they were laughing at her, so she stood tall,  48  holding her “W”.  49  many teachers tried to quiet the children, the  50  continued until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together. A  51  came over the audience and eyes began to  52 . In that instant we understood the  53  why we were there, and even though it was such a busy holiday, there was a(n)  54  for celebrating Christmas.

It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big   23   for the kids was the fun of Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for    24    to share by all five of us.
The big    25   arrived. I gave each kid a twenty – dollar bill and    26    them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered. We had two hours to shop; then we would meet back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, except my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually    27   . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies - fifty – cent candies!

If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time,we would discover—in reviewing them—that the great majority of our     16     never come to pass. This means that most of the time we     17     to worrying,even the constructive(建设性的)kind that prompts us to try to come up with a     18     to what is troubling us,is wasted.     19   ,we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain,but also    20   valuable minutes and hours that could have been spent elsewhere.

To     21     this,it is often necessary to subject(使……遭受)potential     22     of worry to the coldly objective.

Toscanini looked with total     29      at the man.Then he    30     kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders.“My friend,”the maestro replied,“do not worry about it.The note E-flat does not    31   anywhere in the music that you will be    32   this evening.”

The next time we find ourselves in the middle of     33     about some matter,we might be wise to    34    and ask ourselves what the odds(几率)are of the problem really coming to    35   .We may be able to go on to something more constructive.
