Question

完形填空

What would I do for Carol’s 50th birthday? It was   __1__   that she didn't want a party, certainly not a surprise party (that was an agreement at our marriage).      "How about a small dinner with   __2__?" I asked.      "No,"  she said, “I hate being the center of   __3__."      Still, the milestone had to be marked. I wasn’t going to let her get away with a Stouffer's frozen dinner and a movie video, and this was all she said she wanted.      I thought and thought, and   __4__   making my decision, I sent a letter to her friends, asking them for photos, poems, and letters. "Carol doesn't __5__   a party in person…but I'm hoping to give her a party in a book." I bought an album with a friend’s advice, and what I wanted   __6__. For a few minutes at the end of every workday, I would pull out the marking pens and make up the  __7__, Carol's.      Photos of her in junior high, pictures of us with the boys, original songs, notes, cards, and poems. It made me  __8__  for all the years we had had together. The  __9__   was more than the album. It was the friendship and love she had given to me and to our kids and to all her friends and family. You could   __10__   it on every page.      I wrapped it up and  __11__   it home. "Happy birthday, sweetie,"  I said. "It's not a frozen dinner or a video, but it's what you deserve." She cried. She doesn't   __12__   like to cry, but I think she likes the book. She's said so many times. And every time I remind her that putting it together was a gift to me.
