One of my fondest Christmas memories was also one of our family’s bleakest（最令人沮丧的）.We were just little kids, and on Christmas Day mom us all around her to tell us, , that there would be no presents because all we really wanted was to for our daddy. He was very sick. I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying a miracle（奇迹）
At that very moment, someone loudly on the door. Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father as a minister. News had that we were in trouble, and his colleagues knew we needed some .
With all the excitement ,even my dad in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be by good Samaritans（乐善好施的人）. The presents were unwrapped, and we girls packages and found a doll each and four board games.
What is to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I remember an evening of laughter and There were no expensive toys but priceless moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n) rough time . They gave their time and their attention to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things. And what about the true spirit of holidays? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(搅动)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or wipe away a tear.

Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation. I didn’t just want a small in the backyard. I started thinking about doing a solo somewhere out of the ordinary.

Because I get my adventurous from him, he was all for it.

I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading(在...上面走) water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start — here’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding.
小题1:The author decided to write a novel ______ .| A．to finish the writing course | B．to realize her own dream | | C．to satisfy readers’ wish | D．to earn more money |
小题2:How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?| A．Disturbed. | B．Ashamed. | C．Confident. | D．Uncertain. |
小题3:What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?| A．It pays off to stick to one’s goal. | | B．Hard work can lead to success. | | C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky. | | D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something. |

Though a dollar felt like a small , I realized how _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me. we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars , but I know that the connections we made did.

However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for . I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone . Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for your .”
I can’t help but feel that my with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has mine.
