Christmas Love
Each December, I promised to make Christmas a relaxed and peaceful experience. I didn’t spend too much time on card writing, endless cooking and decorating. Yet still, I found myself tired, unable to enjoy the valuable family moments, and of course, to understand the true meaning of        .
Christmas came again. My son, Nicholas, was in primary school that year. It was a very          season for a six-year-old. For weeks, he’d been memorizing songs for his school’s “Winter Celebration.” All the parents were invited to be present at their show.
I didn’t have the heart to tell him I’d be working. Unwilling to          his shining moment, I spoke with his teacher. She told me there’d be a dress rehearsal(彩排) the morning of the presentation. All           unable to be present that evening were welcome to come then.
So, on the           of the dress rehearsal, I arrived ten minutes early. Around the room, I saw several other parents. Because the public school system had long stopped referring to the holiday as “Christmas”, I didn’t          anything other than fun. So, when my son’s class rose to sing “Christmas Love”, I was a little bit surprised by its title.
Nicholas was excited, as were all of his classmates. Those in the front row held up large letters, one by one, to         out the title of the song. As the class would sing “C is for Christmas,” a child would hold up the letter C. Then, “H is for Happy,” and on and on         all the children presented the complete message “Christmas Love”.
The show was going smoothly, until suddenly, a small, quiet, girl in the front row held the letter “M” upside down — totally not knowing her letter “M” appeared as a “W”. The audience(观众) laughed at this little girl’s        . But she had no idea why they were laughing at her, so she stood tall,          holding her “W”. The laughter continued until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together. A sudden          came over the audience and eyes began to widen. At that moment, we understood why we were there and why we        the holiday.
For when the last letter was held high, the message read loud and clear: “CHRIST WAS LOVE”.

Christian Bucks may be young, but he sure knows how to be a good friend. When the York, Pennsylvania, second-grader noticed that some of his schoolmates didn’t have anyone to play with during the break time, he came up with a way to help them. He suggested having something called a “buddy bench” put in on his school’s playground.

A buddy bench is a special bench where students can sit if they are feeling bored or lonely. It’s usually brightly colored with “BUDDY BENCH” in big letters. Other students can then go to the bench and ask them if they would like to play or talk.
“We show we care about others when we ask others to play,” Christian told reporters.
Christian first learned about buddy benches when his family was considering moving to Germany. He saw a buddy bench in a handbook for a German school and thought it would be a great way to fight loneliness on the playground at his own school, Roundtown Elementary School.
Christian told Roundtown’s headteacher, Matthew Miller, about his idea at the end of last school year. Miller immediately decided to get a buddy bench. He had Christian pick out its style and bright colors.
“I was the first person who got to sit on the bench when it arrived at Roundtown,” says Christian. He hopes the bench will help “grow our dream circle of friends”.

小题2:Christian learned about the buddy bench ______.

I work for a major airline. One afternoon while running through LAX to my plane, I tore (撕破) one of my nylon socks.         , there was a convenience store close to my gate. I knew I could buy a new pair. However, as I waited in line, I        that I had no money in my purse. I thought to myself that maybe the store manager would sell me a pair and let me pay her back the next time. I have been inside her store a lot, even though we have never been        . When it was my         to pay, I showed her my socks and explained that I had no money on me. She laughed and         said, “Take them.”
Well, for whatever reason, two months passed, and I          had not paid the money back.
Then one day while I was busy doing my usual preflight preparations, a passenger asked me if I would          him a newspaper.
I went off the airplane and walked to the same convenience store. I was too embarrassed (尴尬的) to go inside because I had never paid the money back, and I wasn’t carrying my         . Then a man with a friendly face came near.        he could walk past me, I stopped him and asked him for help. He smiled and said that he would do so gladly but wanted to know why I couldn’t do it        . He was rather outgoing and kept saying, “Come on, and tell me.” I needed a newspaper, so I          and told him.
Suddenly he said, “Hold on.” and then took me into his arms quickly and carried me into the store. With his free hand he reached into his pocket and           out a five-dollar bill and said to the manager, “I’d like to pay for the socks this person owes you for and for a newspaper.”
I later learned that this big, gentle man was Rosie Grier, the former L.A. Rams and Hall of Fame football player.
