二、完形填空
Each December, I promised to make Christmas a relaxing and peaceful experience. I always
_1 spending too much time on card writing, endless cooking and celebrating. But I still found myself tired, unable to enjoy the family moments, and of course, to understand the true meaning of Christmas.
Christmas came again. My son, Nicholas, was in primary school that year. It was a very _ 2 time for a six-year-old boy. For weeks, he'd been memorizing songs for his school's "winter celebration". All the parents were invited to 3 at the celebration.
I didn't dare to tell him I would be working. In order not to 4 his shining moment, I talked with his teacher. She told me there would be a dress rehearsal(彩排)before the real show.
All parents who were unable to be present that evening were welcome to come then.
So, 5 the morning of the dress rehearsal, I arrived ten minutes early. Around the room, I saw several other parents. I thought that for those little kids, Christmas just meant a long holiday, so I expected 6 but fun. But when my son's class rose to sing "Christmas Love", I was a little bit surprised by its title.
Nicholas was excited, 7 were all of his classmates. Those in the front row held up large letters , one by one, to spell out the title of the song. As the class would sine "C is for Christmas", a child would hold up the letter C. Then, "H is for Happy", and on and on until all the children presented the complete title - "Christmas Love".
The show was going smoothly when a little girl in the front row held the letter "M" upside down一totally not knowing her letter "M" appeared as "W". The audience(观众) laughed at this little girl's mistake. But she had no idea why they were laughing at her, so she still stood tall, 8 holding her "W". The laughter continued until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together. A sudden 9 fell upon all the parents, not being able to say anything or laugh. For when the last letter was held high, the message read loud and clear: "CHRIST WAS LOVE". At that moment, we understood 10 we celebrated the holiday.
1. A. tried B. kept C. avoided D. allowed
2. A. relaxing B. exciting C. boring D. successful
3. A. show up B. take up C. look up D. give up
4. A. remember B. forget C. miss D. waste
5. A. in B. at C. on D. by
6. A. nothing B. something C. everything D. anything
7. A. neither B. so C. and D. but
8. A. sadly B. suddenly C. angrily D. proudly
9. A. cry B. happiness C. silence D. anger
10. A. when B. how C. where D. why
