In 1970, my five brothers, my sister and I lived in the housing projects of Toronto with our parents. My father was a factory worker, and my mother stayed at home. Each year my father would dress up as Santa Claus and go through the streets of the projects sharing joy and candies with the children there. He loved it as much as they did!
But around the Christmas in 1970, my father was out of his job and money was tight. In fact, there was no money for Christmas and my parents weren’t sure what they’d provide for us.
That Christmas Eve, however, as usual, my father left the house dressed as Santa Claus. He knew that even though our Christmas would be hard, he could not disappoint the other kids in the neighborhood.
As my father left the house and went down the walkway, Santa Claus was walking up, with a great sack full of gifts for us! He said nothing, only smiled a sweet smile at my father, and wished him a Merry Christmas. The happy man handed Dad the sack and walked away down the block.
We never knew who the man was and who showed us great kindness on a snowy Christmas night. We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree. His kindness gave my parents hope and showed us in a very real way the true meaning of Christmas.
Our family has never forgotten this kind stranger. Each year we tell the story of the mysterious Santa Claus and try to repay his gifts by giving gifts to others in need.

A feeling of excitement overcame me as I looked around the stadium.
At 5:30 pm, two hours before game time, I walked into the locker room (更衣室).My     of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were       with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight.
Approaching my locker (衣物柜),I noticed my teammates       .Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling       it were a film of the opposing team’s play. Some seemed a bit more       , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field,        what will happen in 120 minutes.
Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock He told the team how       this game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams _ my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse (冲动)it needed to       .
At 7:10 pm, warm - ups finished, we went over the game        and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem (国歌)         that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usually made a final         . But tonight was different. On this clear night he         looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them” Even         the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already         our way out of the door.
Outside, a few young fens reached to touch our hands, eager to be a         of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and         my hand, the young feces lit up as if they had just met Superman.
Seconds later, the team ran onto the           ,moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy         from fens and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the         of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and         that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.

Frank laughed as he tried to tear at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so     ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball   _, Chuck Hart. While Hart was   for his poor sportsmanship and infamous   , he was a great player. In fact, Frank wasn"t thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s      on the side of the box. The first indication that something was      came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was      for his amazing work in the community.
Frank’s hands      ; his heart stopped. It wasn"t that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
They were the wrong shoes and Frank would be      by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Frank decided he     not tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Frank said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
The next morning his dad drove him to school. When they      in front of his destination, Frank slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Frank, wait a minute, look…” his dad said      ,“Frank, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)     . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Frank’s feet, “is someone I      . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in     ?”
“No,” Frank said.
“Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)      when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Frank ,      you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good      , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Frank looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes      . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful      .
