7．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was our tun to open our presents this particular Christmas morning. The living room was already covered with tom wrapping paper. Obviously, the children could hardly wait to discover the hidden treasures, which they had expected for nearly a month. Now we adults sat around the room with our presents at our feet, slowly removing the paper, tying o maintain our dignity in front of the children.
My wife Brenda, and her family have a tradition of getting each other gag(恶作剧) gifts. This day makes me a bit uneasy at Christmas or my birthday, never knowing what form of embarrassment lies waiting for me under the thin borders of the wrapping paper.
Recently, my six-year-old daughter Christy seemed to busy herself with something while I was playing computer video flight games. Now she was standing directly in front of me. The excitement of the moment just beamed across her face. It was everything she could do to keep herself from helping me rip the paper from each present. Finally, I came to the last gift and with my natural Sherlock Holmes ability, I concluded that this had to be the gag gift. With everyone looking on, I decided to go ahead and got it over with—just let them have their laugh—and I tore the paper and there it was…a toy airplane about two inches long. Our holiday guests started giggling to themselves as I looked up to my wife with an unpleasant smile on my face and blurted out, “A toy airplane? Are you kidding me?”
Brenda gave me the look—that look that always tells me I have just said something wrong and should have given it a second thought. I had failed to look at the name tag(标签) before I opened the present to see who it was from. As I picked up the paper from the floor and read the name tag, my heart sank.

【答案】On the tag were the letters that read, “To Dad, Love Christy”. I felt so agonized and regretful to see her joy replaced by a look of total embarrassment and humiliation. She must be praying that nobody would discover whom the gift came from. And it wasn't just any present. She knew I was fascinated with planes. I quickly knelt down and embraced Christy tightly, willing to give anything to take back those words. I explained I had thought it was from Mom, but since it came from her, that made it different. However, nothing I said could remove the hurt in her heart. （93 words）
Staring at the gift, I suddenly thought of a way to lift her up. I took that toy airplane in my hand and began making vivid airplane noises. I taxied（滑行）onto the “runway”, and accelerated and it was soon in the air. I put so much excitement into that airplane that other children wanted a turn playing with it. And just like a little selfish kid I said, “No, this is mine!” It wasn't long before Christy believed it was really a charming gift and smiled again. Now, I keep the little plane as a reminder of my girl's love and also, the power of words. （96 words）
