D. Answer the questions.
In 1935, when Emma was five years old, her mother died. Although her brothers and sisters were loving and caring, they were no replacement for a mother’s love. Emma, who grew up to be my mother, told me that her family was too poor to afford to buy her a little doll at that time.
After her mother’s death, Emma was determined to look after others. She felt that she could make up for her sad childhood through her dedication（奉献）to her own family. But I knew there was still something missing.
A few days before Christmas in 1989, one customer came to our company with her beautiful handmade dolls. I decided to get one for my five-year-old daughter, Lucy. Then I had an idea, I asked the customer to make me a doll for my mother, Emma—a special one with grey hair and glasses—a grandmother doll.
A friend of mine agreed to play Santa（圣诞老人）to deliver the presents to our home on Christmas morning! I began to get ready for what would turn out to be one special day of my mother’s life.
Santa arrived on Christmas Day at the planned time. Lucy was so happy to get the present from Santa. When Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his huge bag and brought out one more present. Then he asked where Emma was. To my mother’s big surprise, she heard her name! He handed her the present and also a message card: For Emma, Before my trip this year, I was cleaning my room and found this package. It was supposed to be delivered on December 25, 1935. Many apologies for delivering the present late. Love, Santa She couldn’t speak but only held the doll she had waited fifty-four years to receive as tears of joy ran down her cheeks（脸颊）. That doll, given by“Santa”，made my mother the happiest“child”that Christmas.
