A few months earlier I had been painting two portraits for each of my parents.I'd planned to give them the portraits as Christmas gifts.This would be a 1 for everyone,as I had not studied 2 .
While painting one day, I was surprised by a knock on the door. Quickly having put all my 3materials out of sight, I opened the 4. To my astonishment, my father came in .
Immediately I wanted to show him the paintings, but I was 5 to destroy his Christmas surprise. Yet something 6 me to share the gifts with him. After making him promise to keep it secret, I 7 he keep his eyes closed until I had the portraits set on easels(画架). “Okay, Daddy. Now you can 8 !”
He appeared dazed at first. Finally , he said, “I don’t believe it. The eyes are so9that they follow you everywhere—and look how 10 your mother is. Will you let me have them 11?”
Excited with his response, I happily volunteered to 12 them to the frame shop the next day. Several weeks passed. Then one night the 13 rang—my father had a stroke(中风). He died the next day, and it seemed all 14 escaped from the life of my mother and me .
I finally remembered to15 about the framed portraits. I was surprised when the shopkeeper told me my father had visited the shop, 16for the framing and had them gift-wrapped.
17we had lost our loved people, everyone gathered on Christmas Day making an effort to be 18. As I looked into my mother’s sad eyes and unsmiling face, I decided to give her Daddy’s and my 19. After she saw it, with a wide smile, she quickly said, “I knew Daddy would be with us on Christmas Day!”
I glanced at the gift card written in my father’s 20. “ Mother—Our daughter reminded me why I am so blessed. I’ll be always looking at you.—Daddy.”

A few months ago I was at a bus stop in town in the evening. The bus came on time and I took the window seat. The bus was travelling by the seashore and I was enjoying the soft wind while watching the sea waves (海浪). After a few minutes the bus made its next stop. A young boy and a girl got on. They were standing on my left when the bus pulled off. I looked at them in surprise and realized that all the window seats were taken up. They could sit but not together. Suddenly a different wave passed through my body and my inner mind gave me the advice to get up. I got up and offered them my seat. The young lady smiled kindly and said thanks. I took another seat and we parted our ways. I don’t remember whether I got off the bus before them or not.
Months passed by. Suddenly one day while I was standing at the same bus stop waiting some time for the bus to arrive I heard a voice.
“Excuse me, Uncle.” I looked in the direction of the voice. It was a beautiful young lady.
Puzzled, I said, “I do not recognize you.”
She said, “Do you remember you gave us your window seat?”
Puzzled, I said, “Maybe, but what is so great in that?”
She said, “If you had not given your seat that day, perhaps I would have not sat with my
friend. By sitting together it helped us bridge a misunderstanding that had been between us forever. Do you know we are getting married next month?”
“Good! God bless both of you,” I replied.
The young lady again said thank you and went on her journey. I realized the importance of giving that day.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员)at a restaurant a few months ago. 71 One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter(柜台). 72 I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “ No”, he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash (现金). 73
“A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
74 I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim(认领)it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 75 The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy.
|
A.He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet. |
|
B.Later I thought about it again. |
|
C.To my surprise, he took out a twenty–dollar bill and handed it to me. |
|
D.So I didn’t return the wallet until the owner returned. |
E. I wanted to be honest, so I didn’t care much about money.
F. I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy.
G. For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.
