My husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn’t hate the true meaning of     36    , but the mercial aspects (方面) of it. Knowing he felt this         37    , I decided one year to    38__the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something     39_just for Mike. The idea came in an unusual way.
   Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was    _40__at the junior level at the school he attended and shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match_    41    a team sponsored(资助) by a church.
   These youngsters from the church, dressed in shoes so        42_    that shoestrings(鞋带) seemed to be the only thing holding them together,    _43_    our son’s team were in their beautiful new wrestling shoes.
   As the match began, I was    _44_    to see that the other team was wrestling without a helmet(头盔) designed to_    45    a wrestler’s head. They clearly could not    _46_     them. Well, our son’s team ended up defeating them and took every weight class. But as the other team         47__up from the mat(垫子), they walked around with a sense of pride that couldn’t admit    _48_    .
   Mike, seated beside me, shook his head    _49_    , “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential(潜力), but    _50_    like this could take the heart right out of them.” Mike loved__51    _and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball. That’s when the     52_    for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and _    53        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 Mike what I had done and that this was his_    54_    from me. His smile was the    55_     thing about Christmas that year.

(答案→)D 
解析:本文叙述了作者的丈夫迈克不憎恨圣诞节本身的意义,但他讨厌圣诞节被商业化了,人们大把大把地花钱;疯狂地瓜分礼物,把一切都抛在脑后。正是因为知道他的这种感受,于是有一年作者决定打破常规(平时都送些衬衣呀、毛衣或是领带等礼物)。为迈克准备了一些特别的东西。她到本地的一家运动用品商店买了摔跤专用的头盔和鞋子,并以匿名的形式把礼物送到了本市的教会。作者把一个信封挂在圣诞树上,里面写着她做的事情,并告诉迈克这是她送给他的礼物。他的笑容是那年圣诞节最明亮的饰物,多少年来那笑容还一直延续着。
