摘要: A. had B. helped C. let D. forced C Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was 1 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 2, with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn't 3 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proofof how 4 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. "I guess we all have to 5 something,"Mother said quietly. I could 6 her pain and the tensionof 7 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 8. Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 9 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 10 and didn't try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could 11 was enough. At that moment, feeling Mother's 12 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 13. She was still my mother, 14 she was something 15: a person like me, capable of fear and 16 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 17 in her arms. A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 18. "It's a job I can do, though." She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 19 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 20 away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.
