The day before Father’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to __36 ___ a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.
Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she  folded (折)her paper in half and began writing. When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her   37  grow hot — she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a father could make one for a grandfather or an uncle.
As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried  38 her card with her arm, but Mrs Berry gently  39 it so that she could read it. Elizabeth sat  40 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a  41 roll down Mrs Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs Berry so upset.
When school was over, Elizabeth  42 until all the other kids left so that she could  43 . “I’m sorry for not listening. I’ll make another card  44 you want. I’ll do it  45 and bring it tomorrow.”
“ 46 are you talking about?” asked Mrs Berry.
“My Father’s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn’t do it  47 .”
“Elizabeth, that was the  48  card in the whole class. It was so  49  that it made me cry.”
Elizabeth was so  50 that she ran out of the classroom.
When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth  51 to give her the card early.
On the front of the card was a  52 of Elizabeth’s mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. Inside the card she had written:
Dear Mom,
I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a(n)  53 . I want to thank you and  54 you a happy Father’s Day!
Love,
Elizabeth
When her mom read the card she started  55 , just like Mrs Berry did.

The pay was     39     and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”
“The troubles is, students expect to have a(n)     40    time of it.” Althea Ellis points out. “After all, they see it as a    41     .In practice,     42      ,you have to work hard.
