I don't think we {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a T-shirt like this. A cheap one can be nice, too.”

Ann doesn't listen to May. “We can ask our {#blank#}8{#/blank#} for the money. They want us to look {#blank#}9{#/blank#},” she says.

     “No, I don't think so,” May answers. 

     So, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} do you think is right? Would you like to buy the T-shirt if you were Ann?

    I'm a teacher. My students can always make me feel happy. It was near Christmas during my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (one) term teaching at a new school. Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bring) a Christmas gift. In fact, I loved the children {#blank#}3{#/blank#} enjoyed teaching, so I wasn't expecting any gifts.

    Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (get) a toy monkey from a shy girl. I was told, "He is my favourite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor." {#blank#}5{#/blank#} happy I was!

    Next came a Dew set of Christmas tree lights that was "missing" from a mother's cupboard.

    Finally, I came to one little boy's gift which I had never received. It was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} old，dirty and broken Christmas storybook. Just when I wanted to express my happiness, I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stop) by the giver, "And see, it is new! It still has the price tag."

    When other children laughed at him, I stopped {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) and said, "Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, let's share one together. "Everyone listened {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (quiet) because I read the most wonderful Christmas Story of my life.

    I have kept those Christmas gifts since then. They always remind me {#blank#}10{#/blank#} my lovely kids.
