    It was a very cold Friday. When I observed the _______falling onto my car, I really began to wonder if I was going to _______ it on time. Of course I must, because I have no _______.

About two weeks ago, what my _______ Ellen had talked about was her Christmas concert to be held in her school and some rumors about it. “Mom, Rachel was _______ to sing alone, but she’s not! Linda will replace her to do it.” “Mom, you won’t believe it, _______Lexie’s whole family is coming to the concert, even from another _______!” Making a long way out of state to see third graders sing Christmas carol seemed to be a pretty big deal（待遇）for her.

When I sat in traffic, I thought about all the school _______ I had attended alone. Ellen never mentioned it, but I wonder _______ she felt about me being the only one who ever came to her events. My own family lived out of town, and her father and his family ________ quite succeeded in filling those things into their schedules. I ________ if it bothered her.

At eight o’clock the ________ was scheduled to begin. With only a few minute to ________, I found myself running: first, though the snow-drifted parking lot, then through the school passage. I entered the ________ hall and found a vacant seat near the front. From her place on stage, Ellen saw me ________ for the chair, and she smiled. I was ________ enough to hear the loud conversation of the children on stage.

“Look, Ellen, there is my uncle mad my cousin. They came all the way from West Virginia. I can’t believe my whole family is her!" Ellen ________ at Lexie and said, “My whole family is here, too! Look, there she is!” Ellen gave me a big smile. I smiled back at her, never once ________ the melting snow dripping off my head. It ________occurred to me that while we tried to teach our children all about ________, they actually taught us what life was all about.
