Whenever my kids have a party at school, I am the mom who always signs up to bring the juice boxes. It’s not because I’m   36  or that I don’t care if my kids have a good party. I am just not good at making homemade bread into holiday-themed shapes like other mothers.   37 , I’m happy to try, even though it’ll   38  me a long time to do it.
People say that housewives should have the   39  to make delicious meals, keep their houses clean, and   40  every minute of their child’s life. Their words used to   41  me a lot. I felt that I should also be able to do those things as a housewife. So   42  I couldn’t make the turkey-shaped cookies, I   43  feeling like a failure as a mom.
After many   44  attempts at baking, and many afternoons spent crying over my inabilities as a mother, I finally accepted the   45  that my lot(命运) in life is to be the juice box mom. I worked hard to be the   46  one in the elementary school. And after one of my daughter’s class parties, it   47 . Her teacher stopped me as I was leaving and said, “Thank you so much for always bringing   48  drinks. Sometimes parents forget that other children will also   49  class parties, and they end up being left out because we don’t have enough   50  for everyone.”
I just accepted her appreciation, rather than telling her that I brought extra drinks because I could   51  remember how many kids were in the class. But her   52  taught me an important lesson: I’m not a failure as a mom.
Not everyone is cut out to be a(n)   53  mom. I believe it’s okay to be the juice box mom. I may not bake cookies and decorate them beautifully, but I  54  something to drink. And I think that’s just as   55 .

One day, Miss Ellis gave her pupils a new kind of homework: homework on happiness.

Several days after the homework had been handed out, Carla turned up carrying a big bag.

“Here in this bag I have all the happiness I’ve collected so far,” she said    4  . On seeing this, everyone was filled with    5  , but Carla didn’t want to show anyone what was in the bag. Instead, she pulled out a small box and gave it to her teacher. When Miss Ellis had taken the box, Carla took a(n)    6   camera out of her own pocket and stood with it at the ready.

“Open it, Miss Ellis.”

The teacher slowly opened the box and looked inside. A big smile    7   on her face, and at that moment Carla took a photo, Carla’s photo came out of the camera immediately, and she    8    it to Miss Ellis along with a sheet of paper. The teacher read the paper in silence, and when she, had finished, she gestured at the    9  .

“Oh, so it’s…”

“Yes!”    10   Carla, opening the bag. “It’s a great big pile of smiles!”

She opened the bag and photos of different    11   fell out.

The rest of the class tried to    12   how Carla had managed to create such a great big chain of happiness. All there in the box was a photo of a big smile. But everyone who had seen it felt happiness being transmitted（传送）to them, and in return, without    13  , every person    14   with a  smile of their own.
