完形填空:

  We’ve heard it before-we’ve heard it on the news, from teachers, from parents-children and teenagers today are growing up too fast.There are not too many people that will   1   with that statement.Teenagers are faced with serious problems and decisions at an early   2  .In fact most teenagers’ daily schedules are as   3   as those of an adult’s.

  I have been working since I was thirteen, and always in   4   in which I was working with adults.I have had to learn to think and   5   like an adult to be taken seriously.So, I count myself as one who has grown up too fast.I just graduated from high school, and have recently spent some time reflecting(反思)on the   6   eighteen years-thinking about myself, what I have gained, and what   7   I have yet to achieve.

  We are expected to work hard, get excellent   8  , be in a good relationship, and know what we want to do   9  .The list goes on and on.But the   10   is clear:We live in a society today that is   11   our childhood.We no longer have many years to be careless and fancy-free.We are expected to   12   the strict school rules and to excel(擅长)in everything we do.I’ve known these things for a long time, and knew that they   13   me.But, I never really admitted it until last night, when I learned a   14   lesson, taught to me by my boss where I work.We had finished a job at a remote site.It was about 11∶30 at nig-ht, and we had   15   to his house.We were talking about the   16   he had been making to his home.One of the things he said was “I   17   my basketball hoop(篮圈).” Then he threw a basketball to me.

  I hadn’t   18   a basketball in five years.

  We proceeded to shoot hoops for about 40 minutes.Both of us were terribly bad at it, but we spent the whole time   19   away like children.Then I realized something:I am still a child.Oh, the law says I’m an adult.But, we are still really and truly children.We all need to have   20   once in a while.
