I will never forget the year when I was 12.My mother told us that we would not get Christmas gifts because there was not enough money .I felt sad and thought, ”What shall I say when the other kids ask me about my gifts?” I started to hope the Christmas wouldn’t come that year. Just then three women came to our house with gifts for all of us. For me，they brought a doll .I felt so happy.
Years later, my life changed a lot. So one Christmas, I wanted to do something special. I asked forty friends to help me. We visited 125 orphans(孤儿)to come to our Christmas party. For every child, we prepared a beautiful gift.
Finally the moment came. I called out,” One, two, three. Open your gifts!” As the children opened their boxes, the whole room was full of their bright smiles. The feeling I got from that Christmas so long ago came again.

More than a hundred years ago, an American produced (创造) a game. He called it indoor tennis. The Americans were not interested in it at first so he sent it to his London friends and it became very popular (流行) in Britain. The game was then played across the dining-room table or on the floor with the net hung between two chairs. In the early days ，the balls were made of cork (软木) or rubber. The bats(球拍) were made of wood.

From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and weekends they are free and 31 themselves. Some watch television or go to the cinema, others take part in sports. This is decided by their own 32 .
There are many different ways to spend our free time.
Almost everyone has some kind of 33 : it may be something from collecting stamps to ____34___ model planes. Some hobbies are very 35 , but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth(值得…的) 36 of money, others are valuable(有价值的) only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several 37 dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare(罕见的)fifty-cent piece which 38 him $250!
