7．Love in a Box
When I was a little girl，I found love in a box all because of a class assignment．On a Friday night I（36）Aat the dinner table，"My teacher said we have to bring a box，a special box，for our valentines on Monday"．
Mother said，"We'll see，"and she continued eating．
What did"We'll see"mean？I had to have that box，（37）Cmy second grade Valentine's Day would be a disaster．Maybe they didn't love me enough to help me with my（38）D．
All Saturday I waited（39）Band with Sunday arriving，my concern increased．However，I（40）Cthat an enquiry about the box would（41）Banger or loud voices，for in my house children only asked once．More than that（42）Atrouble．

I answered him with a hug．
But inside，（50）Adanced all the way to my heart．It was the first time that my father had devoted so much（51）Bto me，for his world consisted only of work．
The holiday party arrived，and my classmates put cards and presents into the valentine boxes．Laughter filled our classroom until dismissal（解散） time（52）D．
On the way home，I held out my valentine box for the world to（53）C．The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside．
The valentine box became a symbol of his love that（54）Dthrough decades of other Valentine's Days．My father gave me other gifts through the years，but none（55）Acompared with the love I felt within the limits of the old，empty shoebox．

1．For a few years，I have been wearing a ring on my right hand．It's not always the（36）C ring，but it's always a ring that has （37）A on it so that when I look at it，I'm （38）Bor reminded of something important．I have made a （39）D of buying rings like this whenever I see one in a store．Sometimes I give them away as （40）A to someone like Jennie．

The last day I was at the hospital，I saw Jennie in the distance as I got on the lift．She （54）B and held up the hand with the ring on it as she called out to me saying．"Look，I （55）Chave Hope!"

20．On a Friday night，a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station，playing his violin．Many people put some money into the （36）Bof the young man．
The next day，the young artist came again，and put his hat on the ground gracefully．（37）Cfrom the day before，he took out a large piece of（38）A and laid it on the ground．Then he began （39）C．
Before long，the young violinist was（40）Bwith people，who were all attracted by the （41）A on that paper，which said，"Last night，a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat （42）D．Please come to claim（认领） it soon．"

"Did you （45）Asomething？"
"Lottery （彩票）．It's lottery，"said the man．
The violinist（46）Da lottery ticket on which George Sang's name was seen．"Is it？"he asked．
George nodded，seized the lottery ticket and （47）C it； then he danced with joy．

When asked why he didn't keep the lottery ticket（50）C himself，the violinist said，"（51）CI don't have much money，I live happily； but if I lose honesty，I won't be happy forever．"
