完形填空。      This past Christmas was one of the best I have ever had. This was made possible by my sister, Amy. She
is eight years older and has already made it into "real world".
     My sister bought me three wonderful gifts,    1   only one would capture (俘虏) my heart forever. First she
handed me the    2  . Because Amy is    3   with her actions, I knew this was her least favorite. It was a bottle
of perfume (香水). I was happy with it, yet    4   as to what lay ahead. Next she handed me a box. After    5   
away the wrapping paper, I found a stylish (时髦的) and    6   sweater. I was deeply moved that my sister was
so generous (大方的). Then she handed me the    7   gift. Judging by me familiar size and    8  , I knew it was
a CD. It was the soundtrack to the movie "Rocky", with songs inspiring to all athletes dreamers. I    9   loved it,
but not as much as I would after what my sister explained to me.
     She was   10  to a knee injury that   11  me half of my soccer season. I desired to be with my team-mates
and   12  each minute I sat on the bench. I tried hard, hoping my knee injury would become well soon. This
was what led my sister to buying that CD.
     After mentioning what was behind the   13 , Amy played the CD for me. Even though I had heard those
songs a thousand times, each note   14  me as If it was new. It played in my soul and on my emotions. I   15  
breathlessly, as the words "Trying hard now. It"s so hard now." sounded through the room. It touched me in
a way   16  me happiness most gifts could bring. I couldn"t   17  crying and hugged my sister. Knowing that my
sister had   18   my problem so deeply made me realize that I am the   19  little sister in the world. I had never
received a gift with so much   20  behind it! I"ll cherish (珍惜) it forever.
