It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town where my third graders eagerly ______61______ the great day of gifts giving.
Each day all the children except one girl produced some new wonder to be hung from the ceiling. Through it all she remained ______62______, watching from afar, seemingly miles away. I wondered what had happened to this once so ______63______ but now so suddenly withdrawn child. I hoped the festivities would ______64______ her. But nothing did. We made cards and gifts for everyone. As my gift to them, I made each of my students a little bag. Of course, I knew they had each made something for me.
The day of gift-giving finally came. We oohed and aahed over our handiwork as the presents were ______65______. Through it all, she sat quietly watching. I had made a special bag for her, red and green with white lace, hoping very much to see her ______66______. She opened the package so slowly and carefully. I waited but she ______67______. I had not cracked the wall of ______68______ she had built around herself.
After school the children left in little groups. She lingered when I sat down to catch my breath. ______69______, she came to me with outstretched hands, ______70______ a small white box, unwrapped and slightly soiled, as though it had been held many times by ______71______, childish hands. “For me ” I asked with a weak smile. She said nothing, but nodded. I opened it ______72______. There inside, a shiny glass marble hung from a faded golden chain. In a flash I knew — she had made it for her mother who died just three weeks before and would never again hear her childish joys or sorrows.
She took the chain in both her hands, reached forward, and ______73______ the simple clasp(扣环) at the back of my neck. I looked down at the gift, then back at the giver. I ______74______ it when I whispered, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. She would have loved it.” She stumbled into my arms and we wept together. And for that brief moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: ______75______.

The Afrikaner culture that I grew up in has a delicious tradition — baking lots of different types of cookies at Christmas. We bake for days on end to ______76______ our cookie tins, and prepare cookie baskets and boxes to ______77______ to friends and neighbors. As an adult, I choose not to continue many of the Christmas traditions. However, this is still one of my favorite Christmas activities.
I have a friend from a different ______78______ background. She also loves cooking and baking. When she heard that I was planning a baking day, she ______79______ me to teach her how to bake my Christmas cookies. A week before Christmas, it was usually baking time. We both envisioned (想象) the beautiful and tasty treats that we would make for our families, friends and neighbors. Our baking got off to a slow but ______80______ start. The techniques and skills that I’d used countless times were new to my friend. And some of them would be even ______81______ to an experienced baker, let alone a first-timer. On my own, I’d have done it quickly and correctly. But by midday, I could feel my ______82______ rising. Teaching my friend had put us well behind ______83______. There was, of course, an easy solution: I could ______84______ and just let her watch. But I had promised that I would teach her. So we decided to reduce the variety of cookies, bake more of the _______85_______ versions and get creative with the icing. At the end of the second day, we had 20 beautiful gift boxes, each displaying a mouth-watering selection of cookies.
My friend couldn’t wait to get home and share the _______86_______ of her labors with her family. Seeing how proud she was, I was doubly _______87_______ that I didn’t act on my thought to do everything myself just because it would be _______88_______. Not only would I have robbed her of an opportunity to _______89_______ but I would have robbed her of that new-found _______90_______ and the pride she felt at having achieved something new.

It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town where my third graders eagerly ______61______ the great day of gifts giving.
Each day all the children except one girl produced some new wonder to be hung from the ceiling. Through it all she remained ______62______, watching from afar, seemingly miles away. I wondered what had happened to this once so ______63______ but now so suddenly withdrawn child. I hoped the festivities would ______64______ her. But nothing did. We made cards and gifts for everyone. As my gift to them, I made each of my students a little bag. Of course, I knew they had each made something for me.
The day of gift-giving finally came. We oohed and aahed over our handiwork as the presents were ______65______. Through it all, she sat quietly watching. I had made a special bag for her, red and green with white lace, hoping very much to see her ______66______. She opened the package so slowly and carefully. I waited but she ______67______. I had not cracked the wall of ______68______ she had built around herself.
After school the children left in little groups. She lingered when I sat down to catch my breath. ______69______, she came to me with outstretched hands, ______70______ a small white box, unwrapped and slightly soiled, as though it had been held many times by ______71______, childish hands. “For me ” I asked with a weak smile. She said nothing, but nodded. I opened it ______72______. There inside, a shiny glass marble hung from a faded golden chain. In a flash I knew — she had made it for her mother who died just three weeks before and would never again hear her childish joys or sorrows.
She took the chain in both her hands, reached forward, and ______73______ the simple clasp(扣环) at the back of my neck. I looked down at the gift, then back at the giver. I ______74______ it when I whispered, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. She would have loved it.” She stumbled into my arms and we wept together. And for that brief moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: ______75______.

The Afrikaner culture that I grew up in has a delicious tradition — baking lots of different types of cookies at Christmas. We bake for days on end to ______76______ our cookie tins, and prepare cookie baskets and boxes to ______77______ to friends and neighbors. As an adult, I choose not to continue many of the Christmas traditions. However, this is still one of my favorite Christmas activities.
I have a friend from a different ______78______ background. She also loves cooking and baking. When she heard that I was planning a baking day, she ______79______ me to teach her how to bake my Christmas cookies. A week before Christmas, it was usually baking time. We both envisioned (想象) the beautiful and tasty treats that we would make for our families, friends and neighbors. Our baking got off to a slow but ______80______ start. The techniques and skills that I’d used countless times were new to my friend. And some of them would be even ______81______ to an experienced baker, let alone a first-timer. On my own, I’d have done it quickly and correctly. But by midday, I could feel my ______82______ rising. Teaching my friend had put us well behind ______83______. There was, of course, an easy solution: I could ______84______ and just let her watch. But I had promised that I would teach her. So we decided to reduce the variety of cookies, bake more of the _______85_______ versions and get creative with the icing. At the end of the second day, we had 20 beautiful gift boxes, each displaying a mouth-watering selection of cookies.
My friend couldn’t wait to get home and share the _______86_______ of her labors with her family. Seeing how proud she was, I was doubly _______87_______ that I didn’t act on my thought to do everything myself just because it would be _______88_______. Not only would I have robbed her of an opportunity to _______89_______ but I would have robbed her of that new-found _______90_______ and the pride she felt at having achieved something new.
