My husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn’t hate the true meaning of   41   , but the commercial(商业的) aspects (方面) of it. Knowing he felt this   42  , I decided one year to  43  the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something  44  just for Mike. The idea came in an unusual way.  　　Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was    45    at the junior level at the school he attended and shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match    46  a team sponsored（资助）by a church.  　　These youngsters from the church, dressed in shoes so    47    that shoestrings(鞋带) seemed to be the only thing holding them together,    48    our son’s team were in their beautiful new wrestling (摔跤)shoes.  　　As the match began, I was    49   to see that the other team was wrestling without a helmet(头盔) designed to   50  a wrestler’s head. They clearly could not    51    them. Well, our son’s team ended up defeating them and took every weight class. But as the other team    52   up from the mat(垫子), they walked around with a sense of pride that couldn’t admit    53    .  　　Mike, seated beside me, shook his head    54   , “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential(潜力), but    55   like this could take the heart right out of them.” Mike loved    56   and he knew them, having coached(教练) little league football and baseball. That’s when I came up with the    57   for the gift for him. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and    58    some wrestling helmets and shoes and sent them to the church.  　　On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his   59   from me. His smile was the    60     thing about Christmas that year.  41. A. the gift      B. an envelope             C. the wrestling            D. Christmas  42.
