I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a   1     over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always   2    . Not knowing we were poor, my kids(孩子们) just thought I was   3   . I’ve always been glad about that.

It was Christmas time, and although there weren’t   4    for a lot o gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big   5   for the kids was the fun of Christmas   6   .

They planned weeks ahead of time, asking   7      what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved ＄120 for    8      to share by all five of us.

The big    9      arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and     10     them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered（散开）. We had two hours to shop; then we would    11     back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.

Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits,   12       my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually   13      . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies —fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything   14       we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,   15       to be angry again. This is what she told me:

“I was looking    16     thinking of what to buy, and I   17      to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she   18    for Christmas was a doll (玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and     19     the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
