My husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn’t hate the true meaning of 36 , but the commercial aspects (方面) of it. Knowing he felt this 37 , I decided one year to 38__the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something 39_just for Mike. The idea came in an unusual way.
　　 Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was _40__at the junior level at the school he attended and shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match_ 41 a team sponsored（资助） by a church.
　　 These youngsters from the church, dressed in shoes so 42_ that shoestrings(鞋带) seemed to be the only thing holding them together, _43_ our son’s team were in their beautiful new wrestling shoes.
　　 As the match began, I was _44_ to see that the other team was wrestling without a helmet(头盔) designed to_ 45 a wrestler’s head. They clearly could not _46_ them. Well, our son’s team ended up defeating them and took every weight class. But as the other team 47__up from the mat(垫子), they walked around with a sense of pride that couldn’t admit _48_ .
　　 Mike, seated beside me, shook his head _49_ , “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential(潜力), but _50_ like this could take the heart right out of them.” Mike loved__51 _and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball. That’s when the 52_ for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and _ 53 some wrestling helmets and shoes and sent them to the church.
　　 On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his_ 54_ from me. His smile was the 55_ thing about Christmas that year.
