You are my fondest wish,the cheerful Chr

B
One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo(竹子) trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word resilience （恢复力）comes to mind. When used in reference to a person, this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person’s emotions.
Have you ever felt like you are about to snap（突然折断）? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
　　During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured（忍耐） unpleasant physical symptoms（症状）.
　　Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
　　If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break!

I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying 39 a miracle（奇迹）
At that very moment ,someone 40 loudly on the door. 41 Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father 42 as a minister . News had 43 that we were in trouble ,and his colleagues knew we needed some 44 .
With all the excitement ,even my dad 45 in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be 46 by good Samaritants（乐善好施的人）. The presents were unwrapped , and we girls 47 packages and found a doll each and four board games.
What is 48 to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I 49 remember an evening of laughter and 50 There were no expensive toys but 51 moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n) 52 time . They gave their time and their 53 to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things . And what about the true 54 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 55 a tear.
