I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, her doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was    41    , below the elbow (肘部). Then he gave her some    42   . “Don’t treat her any    43    from the other girls. Demand more.” And she    44   .

My mother had to work to support our family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to    45   . Once when I was about seven, I came out of the    46   , “Mom, I can’t peel (削皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”

“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n)    47    for anything again!”

Of course I could peel potatoes with my good hand while holding them down with my other arm. There was always a    48   , and Mom knew it. “If you try hard  49   ,” she’d say, “You can do anything.”

Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars (高低杠). When it was my turn, I    50    my head. Some kids    51   . I went home crying.

After work the next afternoon, Mom took me to the school play-ground.

“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I practiced, and she    52     me when I made progress.

I’ll never forget the    53    time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.

It was the way with everything. When I    54    I can’t handle (处理) things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to    55    anything. And she taught me I could, too.

I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I was younger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was going to become one myself. I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready to accept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would not face that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two more children. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking “What do I know about being a grandmother? —I haven’t even finished raising my own kids yet!” I dont like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gave me a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew, and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite figure out what kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother, Granny, as she’s known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.

I didn’t realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the example for the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from my Granny:

Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had a cookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with the counter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older I learned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched, I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it down off the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I did when I went to Granny 's house was check the cookie jar and there were always cookies in it. Many years later, I’ll drive my own children to Granny’s house and the first thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.

So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte’ s first Christmas, my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to see me, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.

A.  she was not old enough to be one

It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.

A.  the writer has many happy memories of her grandmother’s cookie jar

B.  the writer always wanted to know what was inside her grandmother’s cookie jar

C.  the writer often drove her grandchildren to see her grandmother’s cookie jar

D.  women   of the writer ‘s age all have a cookie jar for their grandchildren

What kind of grandmother did the writer want to be?

A.  One who has a jar filled with many kinds of cookies for children and herself.

B.  One who grows up with her grandmother's cookie jar with all kinds of cookies.

C.  One who is like her own grandmother with a cookie jar to treat her grandchildren.
