Philip was a nine-year-old boy in a Sunday school class of 8-year-old girls and boys. Sometimes the third graders didn’t welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downs’s Syndrome. This made him “different”, with its facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems.
One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.
After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly…. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “That’s stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “It’s mine. I did it. It’s empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.
Philip’s family knew he wouldn’t live a long life, for there were too many things wrong with him.
【小题1】The underlined word “condition” in the 1^st paragraph probably means __________.

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. However, I’m happy to try, even though it’ll take me a long time to do it.

People say that housewives should have the 37   to make delicious meals, keep their houses clean, and   38 every minute of their child’s life. Their words used to upset me a lot. I felt that I should also be able to do those things as a housewife. So when I couldn’t make the turkey-shaped cookies, I   39 feeling like a failure as a mom.

 After many   40  attempts at baking, and many afternoons spent crying over my inabilities as a mother, I finally accepted the   41  that my lot(命运) in life is to be the juice box mom. I worked hard to be the   42   one in the elementary school. And after one of my daughter’s class parties, it   43  . Her teacher stopped me as I was leaving and said,＂Thank you so much for always bringing  44   drinks. Sometimes parents forget that other children will also   45  class parties, and they end up being left out because we don’t have enough drinks for everyone.＂

 I just accepted her appreciation, rather than telling her that I brought extra drinks because I could   46   remember how many kids were in the class. But her appreciation taught me an important lesson: I’m not a failure as a mom.

 Not everyone is cut out to be a(n)   47 mom. I believe it’s okay to be the juice box mom. I may not bake cookies and decorate them beautifully, but I provided something to drink. And I think that’s just as important.
