第二节:完形填空 (共20小题,每题1.5分,满分30分)
As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious (反叛) on the outside, 36 on the inside I wanted people to 37 me.
Once I left home to hitchhike (搭便车) to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t 38 , and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular 39 me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home, I was different - not so outwardly sure of myself.
I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 40 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my 41 seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be 42 if I weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that 43 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 44 me. I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater than I’ve ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful 45 ,but I was the only person who could fill my 46 .She made me realize that even with my 47 , - and there were many - I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.
I became a searcher, 48 who I was and what made me unique. My 49 of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist pressure to 50 in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I 51 who I really was. I came to feel much more 52 that no one can ever take my place.
Each of us 53 a unique place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So 54 about being replaced. You 55 be.
