Among all the festivals, Christmas is my favorite. Ten years has passed since that thing happened. I was only （1） years old at that time. It was December 24th, just the day （2） Christmas Day. That evening, my dad came home from work a little earlier. After supper, he said to us, "Tomorrow is Christmas Day. My kids, I think you need to （3） loving others．" He went on, "Therefore, we are going to help out at an orphanage （孤儿院）．" I couldn't believe（4） I heard. My heart began to sink（下沉）. So we wouldn't enjoy our own Christmas dinner at home? Why so? I didn't want to spend such a holiday! The holiday without a Christmas dinner（5） the one I expected．
The next morning, we（6） early. After a quick breakfast, we set out on our long journey to the orphanage. As soon as we arrived there, we started to work. We had （7） much to do, such as preparing for the dinner, setting the tables, and organizing the kids to come in, that we had no time to have a rest. However , all I could think about was the Christmas dinner I couldn't enjoy. How （8） I was! But the thought（想法） quickly disappeared. Over the next few hours, I watched the kids sitting around the tables and enjoying the dinner. They talked happily all the time. For some kids, this was the most delicious meal they ate that week. For （9） , it was an unusual Christmas dinner they would never forget. The kids were so happy. Laughter filled the orphanage．

The lady with the white fence（篱笆）taught me to leave the gale to life open.. .
My husband died in an accident and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was 43 down a busy street, I suddenly noticed a new fence around a house. I pulled off to really watch it. It was such a good 44 that I was deeply touched. I could not send 45 away. The fence still smelled of fresh paint.
“Hello!" I came up and said to a lady in the back garden, “I came to see the fence. It's so beautiful!"
“Oh! The fence is not there for me," the lady explained to me in a calm voice, “I live alone. _ 46_
so many people pass by every day, and I think they may be pleased to see something really attractive. 47 stop like you and come up to have a chat. "
"But weren't you sad when they expanded (拓宽) the road and everything changed so much?"
"Change is part of life 
and takes part in 48 us who we are. When something we do not
like happens to us, we have two choices—to become a 49 person or to become a better person."
Her reply changed my life. I carefully left the gate open and drove on 50 a new feeling inside me. I could not tell 51 it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And 52 a pretty white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my way.
