It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly

Each day the children produced some new
37 — strings of popcorn, handmade trinkets, and German bell. Through it all she remained alone,
38 from a distance, seemingly miles away. I wondered what
39 happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now suddenly so withdrawn. I hoped the festivities would

41 ones.
The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were

44 around herself.
After school I sat down in a chair, hardly
45 of what was happening, when she came to me with outstretched hands, bearing a small white box, and slightly soiled,
46 it had been held many times by
47 , childish hands. She said nothing. “For me?” I asked. She said not a word, but
48 her head. I took the box and cautiously opened it. There inside, glistening green, a fried marble
49 from a golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old
50 and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. In a flash I knew — she had
51 it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or
52 her childish joys or sorrows.
I meant it when I whispered, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would
53 it.” Neither of us could stop the
54 . She threw herself into my arms and we wept together. And for that brief moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest
55 of all: her trust and love.

一、文章特点：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。
二、解题技巧：
针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
