完形填空

  Two kinds of people exist in this world: clean people and people who have found millions of ways to avoid cleaning their rooms.

  I belong to 1 because I am a teenager. Like all teenagers I am 2 busy pretending to be receiving an education to 3 that scientists attribute(归因于) 52 percent of global warming to the 4 that escapes from my bedroom window. 5 all you 6 get too angry, I want you to know that I closed my window last week.

  Don't think the messy state of my room doesn't 7 me, it does. Every night I go to sleep, haunted(受折磨) by the thought that a(n) 8 I lost three years ago is somewhere in my room still plugged in(插着电源) and waiting to start a fire. 9 thing that worries me are my fish. I haven't gotten around to cleaning their tank this year. I can't 10 if they are alive or not.

  A few weeks ago my mother ordered me to clean my mom. She said, “Tracie, you 11 not eat, sleep, or breathe until you clean up your room.”

  I responded, “Mum, did I tell you I got an A on my physics test yesterday?”

  “You don't even take physics, Tracie, so how can you get an A?”

  My Mum was 12 than I thought, so I decided to ignore(不理会) the question and change the 13 .

  “Did you know that most kids today watch ten and a half hours of TV? And high school students score an average of 500 points 14 on the SATs than the kids in your generation.” “No! Really? Well, Tracie, that's just one more example of how the weak 15 of today affect the minds and education of the kids your age. Oh! I forgot to take the bread out of the oven(烤箱)!”

  I smiled to myself for once again 16 my mother with perfectly useless and untrue 17 . Thereby I avoided the 18 task of cleaning my room.

  Then I turned and observed the smoke and the big pile of smelly 19 . But, I am just too 20 to disturb the natural flow of things.

One day in early December, we woke up to discover a heavy fall of snow. “Mom, can we go __31__ after breakfast?” my eleven-year-old daughter Erica begged. I didn’t want to __32__ her request, so we headed towards the only __33__ in our town.

When we arrived, the hill was crowded with people. We found an open spot next to a thin man and his three-year-old son. The boy was already lying in the sled (雪橇), __34__ to be launched. “Come on, Daddy!” he called.

The man looked over at me. “Okay if we go __35__?” he asked.

“Sure. Looks like your son is ready to go,” I said. With that, he gave the boy a huge __36__, and off he flew! And the father ran after his son at full speed.

“He must be afraid that his son is going to __37__ somebody,” I said to Erica. “We’d better be __38__, too.”

Then we also skied down the hill at a great speed. As we returned to the top, I noticed that the man was __39__ his son, who was still lying in the sled, back up to the summit(山顶). When we reached the top, the boy was ready to play again. Again, the father __40__ him down the hill, and then pulled both the boy and the sled back up. The little boy was terribly spoilt by his father, I thought. __41__ he was small, the child could pull his own sled up the hill once in a while. This __42__ went on for more than an hour, but the man never __43__, and he was very happy instead. Finally, I could __44__ it no longer. I called to him, “You have tremendous __45__!”

The man smiled and said, “He has cerebral palsy (脑瘫). He can’t walk. ”

I was dumbstruck (惊呆的). It had all seemed so happy, so __46__, that it never occurred to me that the child might be __47__. Although I didn’t know the man’s name, I told the __48__ in my newspaper column. Either he or someone he knew must have recognized him, __49__ shortly afterward, I received this letter:

Dear Mrs. Silverman,
