I will never forget the year I was about twelve
years old. My mother told us that we would not be 1 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 2?" Just when I started to 3 that there would not be a Christmas that year,
three women 4 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me
they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 5 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed
when I returned to school. I wasn't 6.
Somebody had thought 7 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 8 Christmas there special and memorable, I 9 remembered the women's visit. I decided that I
wanted to create that same feeling of 10 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 11 a plan and gathered forty people from my
company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans(孤儿)at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped
colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 12 with a child's name. We wanted all of them to
know they were 13. Before I called out their names and
handed them their gifts, I 14 them that they couldn't open their presents 15 every child had come forward. Finally the 16 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 17 up
the room. The 18 in the room was obvious, and 19 wasn't just about toys. It was a feeling — the
feeling I knew 20 that Christmas so long ago when the women came
to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.
