完形填空。 Two weeks before Christmas, Mother told me we were going to my grandmother's house for the holiday. Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town. They had no electricity or running water and 1 what I considered the 'good things' in life. They 2 made no plans for Christmas. When Christmas Eve arrived, Mom told me in her best 'I-mean-it' voice to 3 all the decorations (装饰物) from our tree. She packed those up 4 all the trimmings (材料) for a 5 turkey dinner. Christmas morning 6 perfectly with the sun shining brightly across a fresh blanket of snow. 7 I sulked (生气) silently in the backseat of the car as we made our 8 to grandma's. This was going to be the 9 Christmas ever! Grandma was 10 to see us as we walked up to her door. 'What on earth are you doing here?' she stammered.' We weren't expecting 11 .

Uncle Henry quickly caught Mom's spirit. He called me to join him, and we found a perfect Christmas tree in the woods.

Dessert (甜点) was forgotten 18 Mom came out with the final surprise-a flaming pudding!'Merry Christmas, mother,' Mom said. 'Dear me!' Grandma gasped. 'I haven't seen a flaming pudding since I left England before I was married.' Tears of 19 filled her eyes. I could not keep the tears 20 my eyes, either.
