Mr. and Mrs. Smith always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past , staying in a small inn at the foot of a hill . One year , however Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business , so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around the famous city .

They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night .

“ Are you still serving dinner ? ” asked Mr. Smith .“ Yes , certainly , sir , ” answered the man . “ We serve it until half past nine . ”“ What are the times of meals then ? ” asked Mr. Smith .“ Well , sir ” answered the man , “ we serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning , lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon , tea from four to five , and dinner from six to half past nine . ”“ But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London , ” said Mrs. Smith .

By the third year of teaching I’d begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday and less for the excitement of the children. I was teaching fourth grade and my students had made me   16  . I just had to get through one of the hardest days of the school year.

  　　The morning bell rang. I walked   17   through the cold into the overly heated school building. Twenty-two smiling faces  18   me at the school bus stop. I forced myself to   19   their smiles. Back into the classroom, they   20  , comparing plans for the   21  . I had to remove one student from each arm   22   I could take a seat at my desk for my morning duties. Before I could find my roll book（点名册） my desk was covered with   23   and gifts followed by a   24   of “Merry Christmas” wishes.

  　“Oh, thank you,” I must have  25   a million times. Each gift was truly special to me, except my   26   mood. It was kind of them to  27   me. After a while, I heard a small nervous   28   say my name. I looked up to see Brandon standing   29   by my desk, holding a small, round gift. “This is for you.”

  　 “Thank you, Sweetheart.” I laid it on my desk with the others.

  　“Um, could you   30   it now?”

  　I gently tore at the paper and tape. “  31  ,” he said, “it’s breakable.” Slowly I opened a small, green Christmas tree ornament（装饰物）, complete with a hook already 32  . It dawned on me what he had done. Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree. I tried to keep my   33   back.

   　Later that day, I sat   34   the ornament in my hands. Was I really so important to this child that he had searched for something to give me? Now every year as I   35   pull a green Christmas ball from my ornament box, I remember the deep influence my students have on me.
