Question

五、完形填空(10分)

    How old was I? I can't remember. Maybe I was only 10.It was the first 1 without my father. He left me to fill that sad place in my mother's heart. It was the Christmas when I stopped being a 2 and tried to play Father Christmas myself. I really wanted to make it happy and bright again.

    Mom first saw the coat at Tobias,a nice 3 shop in our town's little shopping mall. It was dark green. And it was a long,heavy,wool dress coat.

   “I need a new coat ,” Mom smiled before the mirror. She looked good in any clothes,4 this coat suited her much better. She looked at the 5 ,then hung the coat back on the rack,standing there once more to 6 the smooth brush of wool.

     Eighty-seven dollars. But I decided to buy it for her. As we moved on 7 the mall,I found some excuse to return and asked one of the Tobias ladies to 8 the coat. I helped clean every yard in our neighbourhood — some yards twice,and soon I got the coat. The store ladies helped me put it in their biggest 9 with bright blue paper and thick silver ribbon (丝带) . I don't remember how I got it home,but I can still feel the wonderful excitement and pride that filled me. I would imagine the big space which the box would take up under our tree. Here it was—joy,peace and 10 —all in the box,waiting for Mom's surprise.
