4.I remember believing in Santa when I was a very young girl.However,as I grew older,I learned many (41)facts that"proved"his nonexistence.Always (42)curiousby nature,I was determined to use (43)teststo decide whether Santa Claus was (44)real.
The first year of tests (45)happened when I was 5.I decided that if I (46)stayed up all night on Christmas Eve,I could see if Santa really came down the chimney.(47)However,that was a useless(48)attempt.I fell asleep that year,and when I woke up,I saw a (49)beautifully wrapped present under the (50)tree.
At age 7,I came up with another test to see if Santa was real.That year,I didn't send out my Christmas letter to Santa because I wanted (51)nothing for Christmas,but this turned into a plot.By then,I(52)already knew Santa wasn't real,but I wanted enough (53)evidence to support this.That year was (54)interesting,because on Christmas Eve,my mother dragged me to our local Wal-Mart and led me around the toy section.I (55)refused to say a word,but did let my eyes (56)focus on a ballet set.I (57)figured that"Santa"wouldn't know what I wanted because he shouldn't be able to read my (58)mind.However,mother would know everything that caught my eyes in the store.If I got the ballet set the next morning,I would have my evidence.Christmas morning,there was the ballet set,sitting under the tree again.(59)AsI didn't use it much,mother ended up returning it a few days later.She (60)claimed Santa was generous enough to leave a receipt.That was the end to my task to discover the existence of Santa.
