She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very  3  . She didn’t listen to a   4 I said or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was 5  she’d been put there to sit alone and  6 .

My daughter 7 her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never  8 me do the things that I just have to do.

She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot 9 . And she doesn’t know 10 to fold towels. I don’t have the  11 to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play— 12 what I mean?”

And that day I thought a lot about making some 13 in my life, as I listened to her 14 words that cut me like a knife. I hadn’t been paying enough attention to what I hold most 15  . I’d been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the year.

But now my 16  has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different 17  through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs(蜘蛛网) 18  the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them 19 .

I’m going to fill the house with  20 of a child and her mother, for we are granted only one childhood, and we will never get another.

完形填空

  Alice, my friend's daughter, goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend, Jane, who is on a full scholarship at this school.Jane has   1   economic resources-her father has been dead for years and her mother works   2   a maid.Although her mother works very hard, she can   3   support the family.Jane is very bright and gifted at   4   and that's how she has got the scholarship, which included a(n)  5   for things like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.

  Alice became friends with Jane and would   6   talk to her at lunch.She did it that way in order to avoid the other kids   7   her.

  On her birthday last month, she   8   her new friend to her birthday party, but Jane said she couldn't come.Alice wanted her to be   9   so much that she   10   on her coming.Eventually, the girl said,“I don't have any   11   clothes that I could wear at your birthday party.”After a brief pause, the girl remembered,“I have a   12   from my piano performance,”and asked,“Could I   13   a skirt from you?”

  Alice was happy that her friend would be   14   to come and hurried home to ask her Mum   15   she could lend her friend one of her skirts.To her surprise, her Mum said,“No.”The daughter was very   16   and angrily said to her Mum,“  17   I could, I would give my friend all my clothes.”The Mother didn't understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she's normally very well   18  

  Finally, Alice explained to her Mother her friend's   19  .Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said,“Yes.”She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her   20   with her.

  So the true friendship seeks to give, not to take; to help, not to be helped; to minister, not to be ministered unto.真正的友谊追求的是给予,而不是索取;是帮助别人,而不是被人帮助;是为人服务,而不是被人服务。
