It was the night before the composition was due. As I looked at the list of topics “The Art of Eating Spaghetti(意大利面条)”caught my eye. The word “spaghetti” brought back the   1__   of an evening at Uncle Alien's in Belleville  2 all of us were seated around the table and Aunt Pat  3 spaghetti for supper, Spaghetti was an exotic(外来的)treat in 4 days. Never had I eaten spaghetti, and _5_ of the grown-ups had enough experience to be  6  it. What laughing _7_ we had about the  8  respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.  __9 , I wanted to write about that, but I wanted to  10  it down simply for my own   11 , not for Mr. Fleagle , my composition teacher. 12__ , I would write something else.

When I finished it the night was half gone and there was no 13 left to write a proper composition for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to 14 my work. Two days passed before Mr. Fleagle returned the 15 papers. He said, “Now, class, I want to read you a composition, The Art of Eating Spaghetti.”

My words! He was reading my words out  16   to the whole class, 17 laughed, then the whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment. I did my best not to show  18_ , but what I was feeling was pure happiness,    19  my words had the power to make people   20  .
