题目内容
13.The summer before I went off to college,Mom stood me in her usual spot behind the ironing board (烫衣板)and said,"Pay attention:I'm going to teach you to iron."Mom clearly explained her(36)reasonsfor this lesson.I was going to be(37)independentand needed to learn this vital skill.Also,I would be meeting new people,and properly ironed clothes would help me make a good(38)impression.
"Learn to iron a shirt,"com Mom said,"and you can iron anything."
But ironing shirts was not(39)easywork.It didn't make use of long muscles we used to throw a baseball,and it wasn't a(40)smoothoperation like ice-skating.Ironing was like driving a car on a street that has a stop sign every 10feet,Moreover,an iron produced steam and it carried an element of(41)danger.If you touched the wrong part of it,you'd get burnt.If you forgot to turn it off when you (42)wentaway,you might bum down the house.
As for technique,Mom(43)taughtme to begin with the flat spaces outward,always pushing the iron forward into wrinkled (有褶皱的)parts.Collars had to be done right.Mom said they were close to your face,where everyone would(44)seethem.
Over the years,I've learned to iron shirts skillfully,which gives me a sense of(45)prideWhatever failures I suffer in my life,an ironed shirt tells me I am good at something.(46)Besides,through ironing I've learned the method for solving even the most troublesome problems."(47)Dealwithwrinkles one at a time,"as Mom might have said,"and before long everything will get ironed out."

Dario and his mother loved their new apartment.The living room was large enough for their piano.That night,the two of them(36)sat side by side at the piano.They played jazz music to celebrate their new home.The loud(37)music filled the room and made them feel very happy.
The next morning,(38)however,their happiness disappeared.Someone had left a (39)note under their door during the night.One of their neighbor had written to complain(抱怨) about the sound of the piano.Dario's mother asked the building superintendent(管理员) if he knew anything about it.But he said that they were all (40)nice people and he couldn't imagine any of them had done that.Later that morning,Dario suggested that they write a letter to their(41)neighbors and apologize for their playing.
"Maybe we could go and(42)visit everyone in person."his mother said.
"What if we invited them to come here for a (43)party instead?Dario asked.
They both loved the(44)idea.Over the next few days,they sent out invitations and prepared desserts(45)for their guests.They decorated the apartment with streamers(彩带) and party lights.
Finally,the day of the party(46)arrived.Some guests brought presents.Others brought flowers.Some even brought desserts to(47)share.One woman,Mrs.Gilbert,(48)presented Dario's mother with a book of piano music by Chopin.
"I heard you playing the other night,"she said."The sounds woke me out of bed.I (49)worried that you might play like this every night.So I wrote a short note.I hope you don't think I disliked the playing."
Dario's mother smiled at Mrs.Gilbert."I think maybe we(50)owe you an apology."she said."I didn't(51)realize how late it was when we were playing.Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.
"You play,you play!"Mrs.Gilbert said."I like what you play!Just not so loud at night."She pointed to the book she had given them."These songs are not such(52)loud music."
"These songs are beautiful music."Dario's mother said."We will be (53)happy to play them in the evening."
"And we won't play so loud or late!"Dario said.He was already looking forward to(54)practicing the new music.More than that,however,he was happy to see the big smile on his mother's face.It gave him a feeling of(55)warmth and made him feel that they were home at last.
