9 . One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap (包装).

On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honour! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!

One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous.

Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room.“If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.

The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!”

“Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.

From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

10 . 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A wonderful experience happened to me this Saturday on my way to a mall. Two children ran towards me     1     bottles in their hands, asking if I wanted to have bottled water. It was so     2     (surprise) that I was unsure whether this was for real. I wondered if they     3     (do) fund-raising. I asked them where     4     (they) parents were and how much a bottle of water was. Then two adult women came to me and explained what the children were doing, “We are teaching the children     5     (give) without getting anything in return.” What     6     great idea!

An exchange of ideas opened up between me, the mothers and the children. We were no longer strangers to each other. We were having such a great time     7     (chat) and I ended up helping them give away the rest of the bottled water.

One young lady was so     8     (thank) that she said it was the best thing     9     happened to her all day since she had a “bad” day at work. A couple accepted the water     10     (happy) and kept on thanking us. After all was done, the children and I gave each other a high-five. I really had great fun that day.
