  完形填空（二）My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the  1   or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a  2  Christmas after all. __3__, the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in. There was a  4   on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to  5  us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a  6  on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had  7   a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies. The  8   feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas  9   from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to  10  us to dig out. Then, we received an invitation to  11  a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their  12  — a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday. Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our  13 . Our Christmas morning  14  was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so  15  for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The  16  and work schedules just made things too difficult.  17  that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were  18  in the holidays. Lonely people are all around us, but most of us  19  notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest  20  gesture can make a world of difference.1.
