一、完形填空

On the New Year's morning, William got up early to say a "Happy New Year" to his family. Then he ran into the street to wish people a "Happy New Year".
When he came back, his father gave him 1 new dollars. As he wished to buy some nice 2 for a long time, so how happy he was at that moment!
While he was running to a bookstore, he saw a 3 family.
"Wish you a 'Happy New Year'," said William, but the man shook(摇晃) his head.
"You are not from this 4," said William. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. 5 he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if(好像) to say, "These little ones had 6 to eat for so long." William 7 understood that they were in trouble. He took out his 8 without thinking twice and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.
They were 9 and said something in their language, which clearly meant, "We thank you so much that we will 10 you all the time."
As soon as William came back home, his father asked 11 books he bought.
"I bought no books," said he. "I gave my money to some poor, 12 people." He went on, "I think I can 13 my books till next New Year."
"My dear boy," said his father, "here are some books for you, as a prize for 14 goodness of heart more than as a New Year's gift."
"I saw you 15 the money happily to that poor German family. It was nice of you to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a 'Happy New Year'."
