She opened"Mum's Wish Book"and hoped that she could find these （2） in it．Tears ran down her face when she saw the gloves in the catalog．Mum wouldn't buy them for herself，because the family had a （3） time on the farm．She once heard Mum say to Dad，"Maybe some day，I'll have the money to get them．"
Molly ran out by the back door and went straight to the post office．There she carefully filled out the order form torn from the catalog．
"I need to buy a stamp to （4） the form．"She said to Mr．Smith，the only worker in the post office．
"Umm，a pair of gloves？"said Mr．Smith，as he passed a stamp to her．
"Yes，It's a Christmas gift for Mum，but please don't tell her．It's our （5） ，OK？"Molly didn't realize how white Mr．Smith's beard was until that moment．In face，he reminded her of Santa Claus．
As Molly walked back home，she decided to tell Dad her secret．"You've got to check the mailbox every day，"said Molly （6） to Dad．He nodded，with a big smile．
Coming home from school every day，Molly peeked at （偷看） Dad when Mum wasn't （7） ，but every time he shook his head．
On Christmas Eve，Dad came back from mailbox，still empty handed．Molly felt（8） when she went to bed，because she didn't have the gloves for Mum．
Before Christmas dinner，as Mum took the apple pies out of the oven，Molly began（9） the table．Suddenly，they heard someone pulling up the driveway．From the window they saw Mr．Smith making his way to the door，with a box in his hand．Mr．Smith（10） Mum the box，"I believe this is yours．"
Mum looked from Dad to Molly and opened the box．Her eyes lit up when she saw the gloves．"Oh，who bought these for me？"she asked．

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very trying to make money in order to the high tuition（学费）for my brother and me. I never hear them say “I love you”, or see them send birthday to each other. My father has a bad temper（脾气）. When he’s very tired from work, it is for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was preparing dinner. I sat down her.
“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.
“What?” she replied, doing her work.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low .
My mother stopped her work and her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer and went on cooking.
I was very worried I thought I had hurt her. I didn’t know what I should do.
A few days later, my father suddenly got sick . My mother had to stay with him in the for a month. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk（黄昏）, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so . It seemed they were the most harmonious（和谐的） .
“Dad, how are you now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me. To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
