I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always . Not knowing we were poor, my kids(孩子们) just thought I was . I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big for the kids was the fun of Christmas .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for to share by all five of us.
The big arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would ___ back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies—fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, to be angry again. This is what she told me:
“I was looking thinking of what to buy, and I to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she for Christmas was a doll. So I took the card off the tree and the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so as I did that day.

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I 26 to some degree, though I sometimes do want to 27 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his28 and how much they know about football apart from 29 goals. It seems funny that we are 30 for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 31 , but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s32 .
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn't amount to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: “Don't judge a book by its cover.” We 33 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good 34 and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 35 about Beckham’s good looks.
If we close our eyes, falling in deep thought, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 36 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 37 things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 38 has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 39 we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a sign of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it pains us, we will finally prove how much we have 40 up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have become.
