Two months ago, every app on my phone wanted me to know "11/11" was coming. I asked a friend ______it was a special holiday.

She laughed and said it's a ______ holiday. "It's just like Black Friday," she explained. After getting the answer, I actually hoped she was ______.

As we know, Black Friday is the day ________ Thanksgiving in the United States. For me, Thanksgiving is the ______ US holiday. It's a holiday that does not need us to take part in any rush for goods. Yes, we should buy turkeys, the traditional food on this special day. And we also invite friends and family to______. Usually each person cooks a different dish and brings it to the big ______. It's a day to be ______ not for turkeys, but for the people we care about.

Black Friday is the next day. Starting around 4 a.m., thousands of people crowd ______ of stores and malls. When the doors open, they rush into the stores. What are they doing?

On Black Friday, many things are on ______. But if you don't pay for them quickly, they will be sold out soon. As a result, it's "______" for people to "fight" with each other for cheap TVs and computers—even toilet paper! In less than 24 hours, many people ______ the peace of Thanksgiving. Instead, they become crazy consumers(消费者).

______ for "11/11", I opened Taobao to look for winter clothes in advance(提前). Two hours later, I found ______a crazy consumer too. ______ I didn't fight in the crowded stores, I got lost among all kinds of goods and kept buying things I didn't really need. Maybe my friend is right in some way, "11/11" is like Black Friday.

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years, I believed what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought __________ was very important to us, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf but still live a __________ life. Keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

Several years _________ before she asked me again. I had contemplated (仔细考虑) the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it __________ be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.” Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting __________ every year, my child.”

Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our __________ to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?” I was __________ when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game __________ her and me. She saw the confusion (迷惑) on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.” I asked, “Is it because it holds up my head?” She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when he or she __________. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will __________ have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.” Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is care to the pain of others.
