【小题1】“The thing was a hot one!”means    .

In the early 1800’s, a boy named John lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) with several other children. Every day was   31   working and Christmas was the one day of the year   32   the children did not work and received a gift — an orange. The children valued it so much that they kept it for weeks, and even   33   — smelling it, touching it and loving it. Usually they tried to kept it for so   34   that it often went bad before they ate it.

This year John knew he would soon be   35   enough to leave. He would save the orange until his birthday in July. If he preserved it   36  , he might be able to eat it on his birthday. 

Christmas day finally came. The children were so   37   as they entered the dining hall. In his excitement, John knocked over something, causing a big   38  . Immediately the master shouted, “John, leave the hall and there will be no orange for you.” John’s heart   39  . He turned and ran back to the cold room so that the children wouldn’t see his tears. 

Then he heard the door open and the children entered. Little Elizabeth with a   40   on her face held out her small hands. “Here John,” she said, “this is for you.” As John   41   his head, he saw a big juicy orange all peeled (剥皮) and quartered ……. Each child had sacrificed (舍弃) their own orange by   42   a quarter and had created a big, beautiful orange for him. 

John never forgot the sharing, love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day.   43   that day, after he became rich, every year he   44   send oranges all over the world to children everywhere. His   45  was that no child would ever spend Christmas without a special Christmas fruit!
