C．The same to you                         D．And the same

How old was I? I can’t remember. Maybe I was only 10. It was the first    16   without my father because he was away for something. He left me to fill that sad place in my mother’s heart. It was the Christmas when I stopped being a    17   and tried to play Father Christmas myself. I really wanted to make it happy and bright again. It was the Christmas of the    18  .
Mom first saw the coat at Tobias, a nice    19   shop in our town’s little shopping mall. It was dark green. And it was a    20  , heavy, wool dress coat. Mom pulled it out from the rack(架) and held it up. “Long enough,” she said in a low voice and    21  .
“I need a new coat,” Mom smiled before the mirror. She looked good on any clothes,       22   this coat suited her much better. She looked at the    23  , then hung the coat back on the rack, standing there once more to    24   
Eighty-seven dollars. But I decided to buy it for her. As we moved on    25  the mall, I found some excuse to return and asked one of the Tobias ladies to    26   the coat.
I helped clean every yard(庭院) in our neighbourhood—some yards twice, and soon I got the coat. The store ladies helped me put it in their biggest    27   with bright blue paper and thick silver ribbon(丝带). I don’t remember    28   I got it home, but I can still feel the wonderful    29   and pride that filled me. I would imagine the big space which the box would take up under our tree. Here it was—joy, peace and    30  —all in the box, waiting for Mom’s surprise.

Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I        . I         a gift for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father       , too.” But what about the other days of the year?

In my family, my parents like         very much because my aunt and uncle come back from Beijing to see them. All the family members get together. They are very happy. In the evening, we eat moon cakes and watch the        .

I have a friend. Her parents       in another city. One day, I go to see her, and we have a nice talk. Then she wants to        . So she dials (拨打) the number, but then she puts down the phone.         About 15 minutes, she dials the number again.”Hi, Mom…”

Later, I ask, “Why do you dial the number        ?” She smiles, “My parents are old and      , so they can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I only want to give them         time to         the telephone.”
