第二节  完形填空

 Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was  36   into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa,  37  , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment(尴尬)at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how  38   I understood the pressures on her.

But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very  54   feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping  55   across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.
