完形填空
My husband Jack hated Christmas. He didn’t hate the true meaning of 16 , but the mercial aspects of it. Knowing he felt this 17 , I decided one year to 18 the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something 19 just for Jack. The idea came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was 20 at the junior level at the school he attended and shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match 21 a team sponsored by a church.
These youngsters from the church, dressed in shoes so 22 that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, 23 our son’s team were in their beautiful new wrestling shoes.
As the match began, I was 24 to see that the other team was wrestling without a helmet designed to 25 a wrestler’s head. They clearly could not 26 them. Well, our son’s team ended up defeating them and took every weight class. But as the other team 27 up from the mat, they walked around with a sense of pride that couldn’t admit 28 .
Jack, seated beside me, shook his head 29 , “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential, but 30 like this could take the heart right out of them.” Jack loved 31 and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball. That’s when the 32 for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and 33 some wrestling helmets and shoes and sent them to the church.
On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Jack what I had done and that this was his 34 from me. His smile was the 35 thing about Christmas that year.
