09年山东卷完形填空原文及译文试题预览空盒子Even though it was only September, the air was crisp and children were already whispering about Christmas plans and Santa Claus. It made the already long winter months until Christmas seem even longer. With each passing day the children became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell. Upon its ringing everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.David was a small boy with messy brown hair and tattered clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had and often asked myself what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so inappropriately for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David special. It wasn’t his intelligence or manners, for they were lacking just as his winter clothes were. But I can never recall looking at David and not seeing a smile. He was always willing to help and not a day passed that David didn’t stay after school to straighten chairs and clean erasers. We never talked much, he would just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home.Weeks passed and the excitement over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break. I can’t recall a more anxious group of children as that final bell rang and they scattered out of the door.I smiled in relief as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk.“Aren’t you anxious to get home, David?” I asked.“No,” he replied quietly.Ready to go home myself, I said, “Well, I think the chairs and erasers will wait, why don’t you hurry home?”“I have something for you,” he said and pulled from behind his back a small box wrapped in old paper and tied with string. Handing it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the empty box and said, “The box is nice David, but it’s empty.”“Oh, no, it isn’t,” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there... can you see it?”Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to. “Yes, David, I can see it,” I replied. “Thank you.” David and I became good friends after that Christmas and I can say that with the passing years, I never again let the uncombed hair bother me, and never forgot the meaning behind the little empty box that set on my desk.尽管现在还是风清气爽的9月,孩子们已经在私下里谈论圣诞节计划和圣诞老人了。
