That Christmas I turned sixteen. While decorating the tree together 【小题1】Mama, I accidentally dropped and broke an old glass ball on it. The ball had been on our tree 【小题2】 I could remember. I knelt to pick up the 【小题3】(break)pieces and was surprised to find a small sheet of paper among them. Unfolding the tiny note, I recognized my father’s roughly penciled writing. Lifting my 【小题4】(eye), I saw my mother’s fond expression. “Your daddy wrote that and stuck it in that blue ball during our first Christmas together,” she said with 【小题5】 smile. I wouldn’t have believed it. The daddy I knew always looked on getting the tree 【小题6】(decorate)as something he wanted no part in. And yet this bit of yellowed paper proved that long ago my daddy 【小题7】(do)something romantic at Christmas. Carefully laying the note aside, I cleaned up the broken pieces of the ball, 【小题8】(wish) I could somehow stick 【小题9】 together. “It’s OK,” said Mama, comforting me with a hug. “Just pick out another old glass ball and fill the note back inside.” Now as I 【小题10】(careful) handle those old balls, I love knowing that one holds a secret between Papa and Mama.
