Question

    Christmas was always a very special time because I could receive many wonderful gifts. There was one particular Christmas _________ all I wanted was a pink car for my Barbie doll. I had _________ all of the commercials (广告) and seen how cool Barbie could look in that car. _________ that time, I had known that Santa Claus was really my parents, so no surprise there. I didn’t _________ who bought me the car as long as I got it.

Finally, Christmas Eve arrived. I could not fall asleep that night, just _________ for it to get late enough for me to slip downstairs and open my gifts. Well, I must have fallen asleep at some point, _________ when I awoke it was Christmas morning. I ran _________ to a ton of gifts, but I didn’t see the Barbie doll car.

Before I could opened the bag completely, I saw the pink color. I jumped for __________ and Dad’s face lit up. Of course there was __________ what I wanted. Then I noticed a price tag (标签). I asked Dad why it was on my new toy. He sweetly said that Santa went to a special store for the gift and he was probably short on __________ and had forgotten to take the price tag off. Hearing this, I just smiled and said, “Oh, cool!” I was happy with my car and my father was happy knowing that I still __________ in Santa Claus.
