Christmas was a quiet affair when I was growing up. There were just my parents and 1 . I wished that someday I’d 2 and have six children, and at 3 my house would be full of 4 and love.
I found the 5 who shared my dream, but we had not 6 the possibility of infertility (生育). So we asked for adoption and, within a year, he arrived. We called him our Christmas boy because he came to us during that season of joy, 7 he was just six days old. The nature 8 us again. Within two years we 9 two biological children to the family—not as many as we had hoped for, 10 compared with 11 childhood, three made an entirely 12 crowd.
As our Christmas boy grew, he made it clear that only he had the special skill to select and decorate the Christmas 13 each year. He started his Christmas gift list 14 before we’d finished the Thanksgiving turkey. He encouraged us to sing songs, using our froglike 15 comparing with his musical gift of perfect voice.
Our friends thought that adopted children were not the same and they were 16 . Our Christmas boy brought 17 into our lives with his good cheer, his wit. He made us look and act better than we were.
Then on his 26th Christmas, he left us as 18 as he had come. He was killed in a car accident on an icy Denver street, on his way home to his young wife and daughter. But first he had 19 by our home to decorate our tree, as usual. His father and I sold our home, where memories clung to every room. We moved to California, leaving 20 our friends and church.

参考答案.DBCAB CCBAC AADCD AACAAWe may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we've become used to suddenly disappears.
36 , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I 37
to see -- or look at -- on my way to work each morning.
For three years, no matter

Think about it.

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I 1 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 2 ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 3 his family as cold. When we got into the 4 to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 5 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 6 me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 7 or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his 8 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 9 morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 10 him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 11 . For example, I always return phone calls 12 and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the 13 : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 14 as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I 15 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 16 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 17 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their 18 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 19 . Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 20 other persons’ love signs.
