完形填空

　　When I was a child, I loved spending weekends with my grandparents．

　　I remember one Saturday morning 　　1　　．After breakfast I asked Granny,“What kind of 　　2　　 are you making today?”

　　“Vegetable beef,”she answered．“And you can 　　3　　 by chopping some carrots and celery(芹菜)．”

　　Granny 　　4　　 an apron(围裙)around her full waist．She gave me a knife and cutting board so I could do my share of the work．

　　As I slowly peeled carrots, I sighed,“I've got to give a 　　5　　 next week and I'm scared．”

　　“Most people 　　6　　 public speaking．But remember, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself．So, what 　　7　　 are you afraid of?”

　　“Everything, I guess．I don't like standing up in front of everybody．What if I 　　8　　 what I'm going to say?Or what if somebody 　　9　　?”

　　“And what if you do just fine?”Granny asked．“Have you prepared 　　10　　?”

　　“Well, no．That would be a lot of 　　11　　 work．”

　　“Hard work 　　12　　 hurts anyone．You could try practicing in front of a mirror．”

　　Then I went on to 　　13　　 the schoolwork, friends and family．

　　Granny listened patiently．Then she started,“Nancy, there's nothing wrong with a little 　　14　　 in your life．It adds character·”

　　“Do you like my soup?”she asked．Soup?I wondered．I thought we were talking about my 　　15　　．

　　“I love your soup．Granny”I said．

　　“Well, you know, a lot of people don't make 　　16　　 soup these days．They say it's too much trouble．But I don't 　　17　　 a little trouble,”she said．“It 　　18　　 variety and flavor to my soup－and to my life．”

　　While I helped 　　19　　 clean up, I thought about what she had said．I still had a few days to prepare my speech．I would work on them．Maybe I too could 　　20　　 a little trouble into something as special as Granny's homemade soup．
