I'll never forget the day that one of my fifth-grade students，Jace，shyly raised his hand and said that he had never received a gift during reading discussions.Jace's honesty surprised me.What was even more eye-opening was the fact that the boy had gone ten years and never experienced the joy and surprise of receiving a present.
I tried to search a reason that he might be saying this.Then I remembered his story.His mother was out of the picture and he lived alone with his dad.His father had a hard time holding down a job，and come to think of it.I didn't see his father at enrollment（注册）or parent-teacher conferences.
A couple of weeks after Jace's comment，he was absent from school.This happened to be the day I was sending home the annual note about the classroom Christmas gift exchange.Traditionally，each boy was to bring a gift for a boy in the three-dollar range and the same was true for each girl.
As we were discussing the specifics，a girl raised her hand and suggested that we do away with our traditional policy，and each buy a gift for Jace instead.The enthusiasm grew as the students discussed the kinds of things they knew Jace would like.We took a quick vote and unanimously（意见一致地）agreed to go ahead with this wonderful idea.
With great excitement，the gifts began to come in.Students with bright eyes would eagerly tell me how they found the "perfect gift" and how their parents spent more than three dollars on Jace's gift!As the gifts poured in，I remember being so proud of my thoughtful，selfless students who were truly showing the spirit of Christmas.
After several days of absences，you can imagine our disappointment when we learned that Jace's absences were due to the fact that he had moved away!I was sure of one thing.I couldn't let my students or Jace down.
I found my information sheet and called every number listed.Apparently，Jace's father had lost his job，causing them to relocate.No one knew where they were，and the cell phone number I had would ring with noresponse despite my continuous efforts.Even into our Christmas vacation，I constantly gave the phone number a shot.注意：

【答案】Finally，at 9：30 PM on Christmas Eve，I decided to try one last time.By then，I really didn't worry about calling at a late hour.I was so used to no answer after many attempts that I was startled（震惊的）to hear a response.Amazingly，Jace answered the phone!Soon，I explained the story to Jace and told him how his classmates really wanted to do this for him.I spoke with his father and the next thing I knew，I was driving to Jace's home.
As I drove down the road to Jace's house，I saw the porch light of his father's trailer（拖车式房屋）signaling which home was his.I was thrilled to see Jace.We filled the room with all of the carefully wrapped gifts that were especially for him.He was so surprised and grateful.Jace's joyful smile that evening lit up the sky like a strand of twinkle lights.I went to sleep that night thinking about Jace's joy and my thoughtful students.With a smile of my own，I was thankful to be a part of one of the most important "lessons" of their lives.

1．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers，three sisters，my father and mother.We had little money and few goods，but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but often told me "Dream is priceless".However，when I was about to get off the ground，one particular incident happened，which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5，that was a big sum.I was so excited，because this meant a chance for money in my pocket，certainly money for a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect（前景）of the job was inviting，and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach，I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage， "If you make your bed，you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all，my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

2．Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat，but it was not even possible for her，since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while，watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However，with no money in hand，she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked， "Hey，girl，you want to have the noodles？
"Oh，yes…，but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today，" said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating，Jenny cried silently.
"What is it？" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing，actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother，drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words，the seller smiled， "Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your gratitude to her？"
Jenny sat there，speechless and numb with shock？she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted，but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

3． One day，when I was a first-year student in high school，I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself，"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday？He must really be a nerd（书呆子）."
I had quite a weekend planned（parties and a football game with my friends），so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking，I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him，knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying，and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up，and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him，and as he crawled around looking for his glasses，I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses，I said，"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said，"Hey，thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out，he lived near me，so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before，but we talked all the way home，and I carried his books.
