| Even though it was only October, my students were already talking about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more 1 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 2 , everyone would run for their coats and go home except David. David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的)clothes. I had often 3 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 4 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots or gloves. But something made David 5 . I can still remember he was always 6 a smile and willing to help. He always 7 after school to straighten chairs and sweep the floor. We never talked much. He 8 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 9 home. Weeks passed and the 10 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness(骚动不安)until the last day of 11 before the holiday break. I smiled in relief as the last of them 12 out of the door. Turning around, I saw David 13 standing by my desk. "I have something for you," he said and 14 from behind his back a small box. 15 it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it." I took it over from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 16 saw nothing. I looked at David's smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it's 17 ." "Oh no, it isn't," said David, "It's full of love. My mum told me before she died that love is something you can't see or touch unless you know it's there." Tears filled my eyes 18 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had 19 paid attention to. I never forget the meaning 20 the little empty box set on my desk. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends. | ||||
