【推荐3】Geraniums of Love

As the fifth of seven children, I went to the same public school as my three elder sisters and brother. Every year, my mother went to the same ceremony and had parent-child interviews（亲子交流会）with the same teachers. The only thing different was the child. And every child _______ an old

Geraniums school tradition—the annual plant sale（拍卖会）held in early May, just in time for _______ Day.

Third grade was the first time that I was allowed to take part in the plant sale. I wanted to surprise my mother. _______, I didn't have any money. I went to my eldest sister and _______ the secret, and she gave me some money. When I arrived at the plant sale, I carefully made my _______. I agonized（苦苦思索）over that decision, _______ each plant to ensure that I had indeed found the best geranium.

【推荐2】I just marked my first Mid-Autumn Festival celebration in China._______a week after arriving for my graduate studies, I was kind of homesick—memories of past _______ back in Serbia with family and friends exchanging scenes in my mind. On the morning of Friday, September 13rd, the _______ on the campus was very cheerful. Chinese students explained to us the importance of the day as gifts of mooncakes were _______ . Then came the night. The full moon appeared: huge, _______ball high above the campus, and eyes looked at it with _______. Unlike previous nights, a cool breeze swept through the campus.With Serbian music playing on my headphones, I danced my way, _______ in the wind, and forgetting myself for a moment.

As I _______ back into my room, I was fascinated by the festival’s idea. My _______ mind pushed me online where I came across the poem Prelude (前奏) to Water Melody, by the well-known Chinese writer Su Dongpo. This poem concisely(精确地) seized what I was ________ . The message and the tone both resonated (共鸣) with my feelings. Writing to his family, Su wondered what time it was back at home. ________ the time differences between China and Serbia, I was constantly trying to ________ what time it was back at home.

Eventually, Su asked his family to join him in ________ the timeless perfection of a full moon in a ________ night.What a way to finish! I, too, was hoping that all was well with my family. Despite the distance and ________ that comes with not seeing or hearing from a loved one, we were all flourishing (繁盛的) under the watch of the ________ moon.

And while we may go away from home, as happens from time to time; the family remains the most important ________ to our productive existence. As the Chinese used the holiday to ________ with the loved ones, the Serbian community also got together, shared a meal and walked on the streets under the neon (霓虹灯) lights.

【推荐3】When my kids were small, I started a tradition in our house of giving eight gifts over the course of the eight days of Hanukkah(光明节). I liked the idea of_________a candle every night and giving my children a gift to unwrap to _______. It was easy to go into a toy store and pick up something _______less than $10 each, or even $1 each (at the Dollar Store). My children didn't ask for anything much in particular and they _______whatever they got.
As the years progressed, I _______the tradition of eight gifts for each night of Hanukkah.
But this year, Hanukkah _______something else. My special-needs son decided that he wanted to _______a computer, and it was up to me to buy all the parts of it. When I wouldn't _______that, he decided he wanted a PlayStation. Then Amazon gift cards. Then money. And it became clear that it wasn't going to happen, he got _______.
I keep________him that Hanukkah isn't about greed or materialism. It's about the miracle of an oil lamp that ________for eight days. It's about being________of our heritage. It's about freedom.
But he ________. I know deep down that his obsessions(迷恋) are out of his ________, and definitely out of mine. Having a special-needs child is as________as it gets. Some days are better than others and not all holidays________the way I hope. But despite his unrealistic requests, he's a(n) ________child who is showing me the true meaning of life.
