Question

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not________Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d got?” Just when I started to accept that there would not be a Christmas gift that year, three women turned up at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. What a________I felt! I would no longer have to be satisfied when I returned to school. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody had thought ________of me to bring me a gift.

Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my first Christmas there special and memorable, I________the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of importance for as many children as I could possibly__________.

So I came up with a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans ( 孤 兒 ) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages ________with toys, clothes, and school things with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were__________. Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I reminded them that they couldn’t open their presents until every child had come forward. Finally, the _______they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles lit up the room. I know for sure the_________wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling-the feeling I had from that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. ________ thought of me. I matter.
