Far from a Family Christmas
My Air Force room in Florida was
36 and quiet—I was alone．My five roommates were gone for the holidays; I had chosen to
37 behind in the camp．Being young and far from my home, I felt
38 ．My room was comfortable enough,
39 I hadn’t realized until then what made it so—the
40 of others walking, joking or just lying on their beds．
I was not able to sleep．I was
41 of being on my own—in fact, preferred it at times—but tonight was
42 ．Tossing and turning in the darkened room gave no
43 ．The last sign of daylight had disappeared,
44 my inner depression．
45 , the glow of Christmas lights on the tall pines would only
46 me of my great misery.
Suddenly, I heard weak sound of men
47 to sing．Yes, the voices grew louder and came my way．I
48 still, enjoying the sound.
In the corridor(通道，走廊)
49 my room, voices came near enough for me to hear Christmas carols（颂歌） being
50 ．Suddenly, there, four airmen, identities unknown, were slightly unsteadied by holiday
51 ．The first held a Coke bottle with a lit candle
52 its top．The others formed a dancing line behind him.
53 I was in the room, with joyful faces in the flickering(摇曳的) light, they sang me several carols, wished me a
54 and left as fast as they had arrived.
I slept soundly soon after, burying my face in my pillow,
55 that someone had cared.
