I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old．My mother told us that we would not be   26  Christmas gifts because there was not enough money．I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd 27 ?" Just when I started to  28  that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women  29  at our house with gifts for all of us．For me they brought a doll．I felt such a sense of  30  that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school．I wasn't   31 ．Somebody had thought  32  of me to bring me a gift．

Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my  33 Christmas there special and memorable, I  34  remembered the women's visit．I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of  35  for as many children as I could possibly reach．

So I   36  a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help．We gathered about 125 orphans （孤儿） at the Christmas party．For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,   37  with a child's name．We wanted all of them to know they were  38 ．Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I   39  them that they couldn't open their presents   40  every child had come forward．Finally the   41  they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three．Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles  42  up the room．The   43  in the room was obvious, and   44  wasn't just about toys．It was a feeling — the feeling I knew   45 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit．I wasn't forgotten．Somebody thought of me．I matter．
