The day before Christmas was more 3 than I had ever imagined. My older brother was stuck at a stranger’s home where he had been 4 to stay overnight because of the storm. The person was kind enough to let him stay until morning. But, the 5 was that he couldn’t get his car to start and there was no assistance available.
So, my dad and I 6 . We were lucky enough to make it to where my brother was waiting. After his car warmed up, he thought it much 7 to head back to his place rather than try and make it home for Christmas. So we headed in 8 directions.
The drive back got even worse. We got stuck in a huge snowdrift. A(n) 9 had to be made. We placed a shovel(铲子) about ten feet behind the car to warn anyone else that there was an obstruction(障碍物) ahead.
We left the car in the 10 , wrapped(包裹) blankets around our heads and 11 on top of the snowdrifts. We made it about a mile up the road to a neighbor’s farmhouse where we 12 for the next mile walk home. We all made it 13 home that night. Christmas was very 14 that year. It didn’t matter if there were 15 or not under the tree the next morning. We each got our gift—the gift of life, home with our family safe and sound. What better gift is there? None. 【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过在圣诞节前的雪夜里父子三人最终平安到家的经历认识到圣诞树下有没有礼物不重要, 一家人都平安最重要。
