The Best Holiday
I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter. Emily 21 to buy a mountain bike. she’d been saving her pocket money all year, 22 doing small jobs to earn extra money.
By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said, “ You 23 have your pick from my bicycle 24 .” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old.” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 25 choose.
As Christmas 26 near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she 27 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy ?” she asked. “Sorry, Em , I’m out of 28 .”
Throughout December, Emily continued to 29 hard. Then one day, she made a 30 announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving ?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $ 58 to a volunteer who was really very 31 .
32 by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute 33 of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. 34 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow(发光). Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t 35 the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later 36 the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very 37 , sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re 38 away one chance to win a girls’ mountain bike.”
Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the 39 ? I like to think it was God’s way of 40 a little girl for a sacrifice beyond her years--- while giving her dad a lesson in the process.

I stood there listening to dad’s severe（严厉的） words. He gathered us into our yard and had the look on his face that told us one of us did something 36 .
We stared down at the floor containing the art of a child’s 37 in chalk. I suppose that was a no-no（不可接受的行为） for us, though I can’t say I quite 38 the result when I was committing the crime. All the others denied. I stood there, 39 inside. The only words that came from my mouth were, “Not me, dad.” I couldn’t find the 40 to tell the truth. Lying was not 41 for me. But the look on dad’s face scared me.
Without saying a word, dad 42 for only a few minutes and came back with paper and a pencil. He was so 43 to find the truth! “I want each of you to write 44 what you see on the floor.” I was not a 45 kid, though and when my turn came, I wrote the words 46 . So when my dad compared the handwriting, he still 47 tell the truth.
“ I will give you one more chance to confess (承认) ”, he said. Not 48 , no one spoke up.
Should I say something? I guess he’ll be 49 ! So again, I held my 50 . “Well, if someone came forward, there would be 51 punishment.” he added. Oh, no! I’ve lost my last chance!
He took us into the house. “ 52 none of you confessed, then you all get a spanking (打屁股).”
“I did it,” someone said. I looked around to see my sister come 53 . My sister was going to get spanked. And I let it 54 .
I didn’t tell the truth until years later. When I think back to that day, I know I learned the 55 of family, of a sister who would do anything for me. And I would do the same for her now.

I was eight years old then. Looking __36__ I remember the time in a baseball field passing the team that we had just __37__ . We shook their hands and said, "Good game!"
It is __38__ to do that when you win! When you lose, you have a tendency(倾向) to slap (拍) the hand — instead of shaking it — and __39__ the ground instead of the eyes. This is not only true for an eight-year-old; it is true for adults, too.
A few years ago, in a softball league, we lost 15 games! And we thought it was __40__ . But during the " Good game" handshake after each __41__, I looked each player in the eyes and shook their hands. I couldn't look my opponents (对手) in the eyes and congratulate them on a good __42__ when I was eight. Somehow I took the loss as a __43__ on my self-worth and felt my self-confidence had been slapped; __44_- I did what most eight-year-olds do and I slapped the opponents' hands, not giving them the satisfaction of a shake. I was wrong to do this. I'm happy today as a(n) __45__ that I have learned this __46__ : There is something to be said for losing well.
__47__ it is a baseball game or an important examination, you can __48__ a lot about a person by now they deal with defeat. The person who deals with defeat as an __49__ blow is not allowing the event to define (定义) him, while someone who cannot __50__ defeat is allowing the event to __51__ his self-worth. In my opinion, when you __52__ in something— though it may be __53__ — look at your opponents in the eyes, and shake their hands in a __54__ way as you say, "Good game!" __55__ to allow the event to define your life. You might find yourself winning the next game.

For almost 18 years, my mom has given time from her life to devote her care to my growth. She has ashed 36 clothes. She’s planned doctors’ appointments 37 all parts of the body, cut hair, taken icures, bought presents, 38 vacations and basically kept a small boy’s life 39 smoothly.
When I was 12, I got into 40 arguments with my older and wiser parents. The 41 never led a any achievement for me, but I still took part. Many times strong feeling of anger caused tears 42 to in my eyes by the end of the quarrel with them. 43 , I’d return to my room and stay for as long as my parents allowed. Then I’d 44 a knock and hardly manage a weak, “Come in.” My mom, acting as a peacemaker, 45 slowly enter and sit next to me on the bed. I’d again try to 46 what I had said was true, 47 this time less angrily. T
hen mom calmly, strictly and lovingly showed to me her voice of 48 . After that she’d hug me and I’d stop crying; all would be 49 in my family again.
Hugs will 50 be her trademark（标志）: warm hugs for goodnights, good-byes and a thousand other such situations. “You’re never too old to 51 your mother.” I’ve heard those eight words since I came to the world. They ring true. For some reason, those words possess the unbelievable 52 to reduce anxiety, cool an angry head, 53 fears and put wrong things right.
Perhaps my mother, now worthy of the title “Mom” can be an example to mothers everywhere. Being a mother is not so 54 . Any female has the ability to become one. The challenge isn’t in becoming a “mother”, but instead , a “mom”. Mine does that quite 55 .
