This past Christmas was one of the best I have ever had. This was made possible by my sister, Amy. She
is eight years older and has already made it into "real world".
My sister bought me three wonderful gifts, 1 only one would capture (俘虏) my heart forever. First she
handed me the 2 . Because Amy is 3 with her actions, I knew this was her least favorite. It was a bottle
of perfume (香水). I was happy with it, yet 4 as to what lay ahead. Next she handed me a box. After 5
away the wrapping paper, I found a stylish (时髦的) and 6 sweater. I was deeply moved that my sister was
so generous (大方的). Then she handed me the 7 gift. Judging by me familiar size and 8 , I knew it was
a CD. It was the soundtrack to the movie "Rocky", with songs inspiring to all athletes dreamers. I 9 loved it,
but not as much as I would after what my sister explained to me.
She was 10 to a knee injury that 11 me half of my soccer season. I desired to be with my team-mates
and 12 each minute I sat on the bench. I tried hard, hoping my knee injury would become well soon. This
was what led my sister to buying that CD.
After mentioning what was behind the 13 , Amy played the CD for me. Even though I had heard those
songs a thousand times, each note 14 me as If it was new. It played in my soul and on my emotions. I 15
breathlessly, as the words "Trying hard now. It"s so hard now." sounded through the room. It touched me in
a way 16 me happiness most gifts could bring. I couldn"t 17 crying and hugged my sister. Knowing that my
sister had 18 my problem so deeply made me realize that I am the 19 little sister in the world. I had never
received a gift with so much 20 behind it! I"ll cherish (珍惜) it forever. |

handbag in one hand and a plastic carrier bag in the other. There was nobody else in the street except two
youths. They were standing in a dark shop doorway. One of them was very tall with fair hair, the other was
short and fat with a beard(胡须).
The youths waited for a few moments, and then ran quickly and quietly towards Mrs Riley. The tall youth
held her from behind while the other youth tried to seize her handbag.
Suddenly, Mrs Riley threw the tall youth over her shoulder. He crashed into the other youth and they both
landed on the ground. Without speaking, Mrs Riley struck both of them on the head with her handbag, and
walked calmly away.

door with a lighted sign above it. Mrs Riley paused, turned round, smiled at the youths and walked into the

knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn"t
sure my mother was ready for it After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker.
Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents" home. And so began my mother"s
adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I"ve taught people of all ages, but I
never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She has been the one teaching me all
my life: to cook and sew: to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give
something back.
It wasn"t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my
mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I
decided it was time to introduce her to word processing (文字处理) This proved to be a bigger challenge
(挑战) to her, so I gave her some homework I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types,
colors and spaces.
"Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?" she asked.
"No, of course not," I said. "They already know how to use a computer."
My mother isn"t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my
father has finally got over his phone allergy (过敏反应). For as long as I can remember, any time I called,
my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we"ve
had in the past 20 years. | | 1. What does the author do? | A. She is a cook.

playing cards.

My father began slowly, as if he was 3 something back. 4 grew deep in his forehead 5 he told us
that he and my mother were getting a divorce. Tears began to 6 in my mother"s eyes. My father went over
and stared out 7 the view of the backyard.
I always 8 of my parents as being in love, 9 they fought all the time. I saw them as 10 in every way.
I looked up to them 11 anyone else, and now they destroyed their 12 . I think the 13 came from not having
anyone to look up to.
Now I see my father about once a week, and it is 14 . I can talk to him more 15 and I have learned to
appreciate the time I get to spend with my father. 16 my mother it has changed in a different way. I have 17
