12.All flowers are beautifulOne lunchtime(41)B I was in the third grade will stay with me always.I had been picked to be the (42)C in the school play,and for weeks my mother had (43)A rehearsed (排练) my lines with me.(44)C no matter how easily I them at home,as soon as I stepped on stage,every word disappeared from my(45)D.
Finally,my teacher took me(46)B.She explained that she had written a narrator'part to the play,and asked me to switch roles.Her words,(47)Cpainful,especially when I saw my part go to(48)Agirl.
I didn't tell my mother(49)Bhad happened when I went home for lunch that day.But she sensed my(50)D,and instead of suggesting we should practice my lines,she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day.I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the clumps(土块)."I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,"she said,(51)B a flower up by its roots."From now on,we'll have only roses in this garden."
"But I like dandelions (蒲公英),"I(52)A,"All flowers are beautiful,even dandelions."
My mother looked at me seriously."Yes,every flower gives pleasure in its own way doesn't it?"She asked thoughtfully.I nodded,(53)D that I had persuaded her."And that is true of(54)C too",she added,"Not everyone can be a princess,but there is no shame in that."
Over the next few weeks,with her constant(55)B,I learned to take pride in the role.Lunchtimes were spent reading over my lines and talking about what I would wear.
Backstage the night of the performance,I felt(56)C.A few minutes before the play,my teacher(57)A to me."Your mother asked me to give this to you,"she said,handing me a (58)D.Its edges were already beginning to curl and it flopped (沉重地躺下) lazily from its item.But just(59)B it,knowing my mother was out there and thinking of our lunchtime talk,made me proud.
After the play,I took home the flower I had put in the pocket of my costume.My mother pressed it(60)A two pieces of paper in a dictionary.

Now,as I stood before him,I thought of Daniel's grandfather and those(51)Aopportunities in my life.How many times have we all let such moments pass?
My father and I loved each other.Yet,I always(52)Bnever hearing him put his(53)Binto words and never having the memory of that moment.Now,I could feel my hands sweat and my throat tighten.Why is it so(54)Cto tell a son something from the heart?
