Question

    I have received many Christmas gifts over these years. The best gift I ever received was  _______ by a stranger. I even never knew his name, and I only had contact with _______ for less than 60 seconds. His Christmas gift to me changed the way I think about people and Christmas.

I hate Black Friday sales. It's often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are  ______ one item for their loved one, or perhaps for themselves. Their intentions are completely unrelated to the happy time of a year, and can only be summed(总结) up with one word, “Cheap!”.

Several years ago, my mother asked me to meet her at the _______ market on Black Friday morning. She _______ to buy a bike for my brother. Many people were waiting for the selling. As the number of the bikes reduced, I knew I need to take one for my brother. I lifted up the box and _______ felt some mild resistance(阻力). A gentleman with Tattoos(纹身) made me feel _______.

I started to put the box back but he gently pushed it back into my _______ and directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled and said, “Merry Christmas.” My mother and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home.
