【解析】继子的不良行为让作者伤心难过，并因此常常偷偷哭泣，但是她还是一如既往地履行做母亲的责任。在继子的毕业典礼上，当继子把白玫瑰送给她并对她说了一番感激的话时，她感动地流出了幸福的眼泪。
【1】结合第一段和空格前的内容可知，作者又累又挫败地“倒”在地上。sink有“倒下，坐下”的意思。sink to the floor表示“倒在地上”。
【2】根据第一段中的“full of burnt holes”可知，Brett经常“毁坏，糟蹋”东西。lose“丢失”；tear“撕碎”；break“打破”。
【3】根据上下文可知，他经常把房间里几乎所有的东西弄坏。out of danger“脱离危险”；out of place“位置不当，不得体”；out of trouble“脱离困境”；out of order“有毛病，出故障”。故选D。
【4】因为Brett破窗而入偷钱，所以房子的很多扇窗户都需要修理。break in“强行进入，破门而入”。break off“停止，中断”；break up“破碎，粉碎”；break away“脱离”。
【5】然而，所有这一切都不能和Brett对我们曾经平静的家造成的情感“伤害”相比。此处与上文提到的物质上的损害形成对比。
【6】根据下文中的“but inside I was shouting”可推知，上文应是作者尽可能耐心地对待他。
【7】上文中的“but”表示的是转折意义，而且从“I don't want him in my house another day”可知，作者在内心深处无法“忍受”他。
【8】作者把失望和愤怒埋在心底，擦干眼泪，一如既往地对他尽到做父母的职责。此处parent用作动词表示“做……的父亲或母亲，教养”。
【9】Brett再次进入少管所表明他经常招惹是非，于是，作者夫妻俩不得不把他送入一所管教问题青少年的寄宿学校。troublesome“令人心烦的”。
【10】根据该空后的“each graduate”可知，应是在毕业典礼上。
【11】每一个毕业生都要把一支白玫瑰送给对自己来说最重要的人。mean意为“意味着”，符合语意。
【12】根据下文中他所说的话可推知，Brett深情地对亲生父母说话。
【13】无论发生什么事情，你总是在我身边。后半句可理解为“no matter what happened”。
【14】虽然我给你添了许多麻烦，但是你仍给我无微不至的关爱。此处是让步状语从句although you were troubled enough by me的省略形式。
【15】语意参见上题解析。show sb sth“对某人表现出……”，符合语境。
【16】作者完全没有想到Brett竟然把白玫瑰送给了自己，所以感到无比震惊。
【17】Brett发自肺腑地表达了自己对作者的感激后，“紧紧地”拥抱了作者。
【18】在那一刻，作者热泪盈眶。gather表示“聚集”，符合语意。
【19】此时此刻，作者不是因为失望而是因为幸福才流眼泪。
【20】此处与第三段中间部分作者内心的呼声相照应，表明作者过去在心里对Brett充满了无声的愤怒。
