1 . The Best Holiday

I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter, Emily. _____ to buy a mountain bike, she’d been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to _____ extra money.

By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $ 49. I said, “You can pick one from my bicycle____.” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so ______ .” She was right. All my bikes for girls were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would ____ choose.

As Christmas____ near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she ____a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy?” she asked. “Sorry, Em, I’m out of _____ .”

Throughout December, Emily ______ to work hard. Then one day, she made a surprising   ________. “You know all the money I’ve been saving?” she said, a little hesitantly. “I’m going to give it all to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $69 to a volunteer who was really very thankful.

____by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to   ______ one my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. ____ I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a ______ bike took on a glow(发光). Should I contribute two? No! One would be enough! But I still couldn’t ____the feeling that I should give another bike. When I later_____the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very happy, sir. Here are your tickets. ____ each bicycle we receive from the kind people, we’re giving away one chance to ____ a girls’ mountain bike.”

Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the winner? I like to think it was a way of ____ a little girl for a sacrifice beyond her years－ while giving her dad a lesson in the ______.
