They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching.Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift. In fact, I wasnt expecting any gifts.Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I got a much-loved stuffed monkey from a shy girl. I was told, “ He is my favorite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor.” How thrilled(兴奋的；激动的)I was!Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “ missing” from a mothers cupboard.Finally, I came to one little boys gift to express my happiness, I was interrupted (打断) by the giver, “ And see, it is new! It still has the price tag(标签).”When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “ Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, Lets share one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.I still keep those Christmas gifts. They always remind me of my lovely kids.1Why did the teacher like her small special class? _2When did the children bring their teacher gifts? _3Who sent a stuffed monkey to the teacher? _4Was the Christmas story book new? _5How did the teacher feel when she got the presents? _.根据首字母及短文意思补全单词It was Marys birthday.
