       On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job. I hadn’t seen it coming. I was excited for the weekend, when my daughter, Kristil, then 12, and I planned to get our Christmas tree. Then I listened to my voicemail: “We’re sorry but your work assignment has ended as of today.” My heart sank.

        I wasn’t just a single parent; I was the only parent. My paycheck was survival.

        The next day as we searched for our tree, I struggled to be cheerful as I eyed each price tag.

        “Is everything OK?” Kristil asked. “You seem worried.”

        “I got some bad news yesterday,” I told her. “I lost my job.”

        “Oh no,” Kristil said. “Well, I have $100 from Grandma I can give you.”

        “Absolutely not.” I told her.

        In the following days, I furiously applied for jobs as my bank account grew smaller. I felt as if the world was closing in on me. One afternoon, I dropped Kristil in a wealthy gated community for a birthday party. I watched as she went in, surrounded by all the nice things we couldn’t afford. I drove home defeated.

        Back at home, I glanced out the window. It had been snowing on and off all morning. I noticed a thin woman with short white hair struggling to open her car door against the wind. As she got out, I realized it was my old professor, Esther Heffernan. I hadn’t seen her since we met for lunch three months ago.

        I rushed to the front of my building. “What are you doing out in this weather? ”I asked as we hugged. “Well I tried to call last week but couldn’t get through. Then I called your job and they said you weren’t working there anymore, so I thought I would come by.” Esther said, “I have gifts for you and Kristl.”

        I made her a cup of tea, and we talked. Just being in Esther’s presence gave me hope that things would be all right. As she got up to leave, she handed me a Christmas card. “This is for you.” I walked her to her car and waved as she pulled away.

注意：

(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

When I opened her card, hundred- dollar bills fell onto the table.


On Christmas Eve, I decided to pass on the goodwill.
