【题目】每空格限填一词，首字母已给。

As a child, I learnt how to make paper masks from newspapers and old magazines. Later I used coloured cardboard. Making masks seemed like a popular art activity. After we made the masks, my classmates and I would put them on and pretend to be people that we were not. By hiding our faces b 【1】 the masks, it did not seem ridiculous to pretend to be an old man or a baby. Immediately, the mask helped us to step into the shoes of a 【2】 character.

A mask allows a person to take on different characters, to pretend and make-believe. Have you ever w 【3】 what the actual face of the clown at the circus is like? The clown’s mask, with white smiling mouth and the round red cheeks, covers whatever the clown r 【4】 looks like.

Masks can also be used to hide what we do not want people to see. For example, the Phantom of the Opera, tells the story of a man who fell in l 【5】 with a beautiful woman. However, one side of his face was ugly and terrible to show anyone. Thus, he wore a mask to hide that part of his face.

Adults, more than children wear different masks every day. These are not actual masks like the types that are made in art classes in schools. These masks refer to the person’s ability to hide his real thoughts and feelings. He will behave in different ways no matter what he is actually feeling i【6】 . Sometimes, we will put on a happy face even though we are s 【7】 . We wear masks because we do not want people whom we do not know well to know what we are actually thinking and feeling.
