December 24 arrived along with a heavy snow. It was my first Christmas Eve without my mother, and the day’s usual  21  had disappeared.

The telephone rang. I  22  it and went to my bedroom to bury the continuous 23 , knowing it must be my friend Rebecca calling. How could I be  24  ? I wanted to be left  25 .

My heart felt as  26  as the falling snow.  27  can I stop missing my mother?

I  28  the window. Seeing Rebecca’s car parked out front, I went back to my bed and drew the covers over my head.

“Lucy!” she shouted. “I know you’re in there. Answer the door!”

“Leave me alone!” I  29  back. I heard paper rustling(沙沙作响) as she slid  30   under the door.

“Merry Christmas, ” she called out.

Not answering the  31  made me even 32 . It wasn’t fair to my best friend. Her father and sister  33  in a car accident when she was eight years old.  34 , her mother had to return to  35 , and Rebecca was left to look after herself.

When she left, I carried the small package, sat down and  36  it. Inside was a golden pen and a journal. When I opened the journal’s front cover, out fell a bookmark with a(n)   37   written on it:

Dear Lucy,  

My words won’t heal（治愈）the 38  . But your own words can.

                                                  Love,

                                                  Rebecca

As I stared at the journal’s blank pages, a single tear fell on the page which quickly absorbed it.

That night, I  39  the phone and dialed her number.

“Looks like the snow is melting(融化), ” I said. “Spring was just _____40____the corner.”

"However, I find    18  more exhausted and flat than when I'm studying hard on campus."

     With half of her holiday    19    (go), Lu suffered a series of common post-festival syndromes: stress, fatigue and a sense of frustration. Exhausted and a bit concerned about her graduate project and    20    (find) a job, Lu fell ill with   21    fever.

     Lots of college students are hit by   22   (anxious) and depression before a new academic session. Too many parties, gaming and fat eating is exhausting.
