It looked 5 as leaves had been away from its branches and the soil had loosened a bit. But the most important point is that the tree 6 the fight for its life.

One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be like Scrooge, so he was 5 after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect 6 ghosts to visit him.
That 7 , the ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds him 8 his happy days as a child. Then the second ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see 9 others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the 10 . Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so 11 that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning—Christmas Day!
Scrooge decides to change his life and 12 to be a kind person. He 13 celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats 14 with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that’s the true 15 of Christmas!

He was looking for a new start in life. Up to this time, Strauss had worked for his two brothers in New York City. The brothers sold clothes and blankets and other goods. Strauss planned to set up a similar business to his 5 in California.
Over the years, Strauss’s business grew. In 1872 he got a letter from one of his customers, a tailor (裁缝) in Nevada. The tailor, Jacob Davis, had a(n) 6 for making better work pants.
