18."Mommy,I got something for you!"Cody ran through the door after school.His face wore the biggest smile ever.He waved something above his head."It's a pen.But not just any pen.It's a lucky pen!"He handed me the pen(16)C,waiting for my reaction(反应).
I looked at the pen in my hand.There was nothing(17)Babout it.It looked just like any other ballpoint pen.I had a drawer full of them.At that moment,I didn't realize how special it was or how much I would come to treasure(珍爱) it.
I had made the decision to be a(n)(18)C.I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishing houses.The night before,I told my husband my(19)Awhen I thought Cody wasn't listening."What if(20)D likes my writing and I fail?"But Cody did(21)Awhat I said.Now he stood in front of me,watching me examine the pen."You don't have to be afraid now,"he said."This pen will make your(22)Cgreat and everyone will love you."
Tears filled my eyes.Refusal(拒绝) and failure didn't seem like such a big problem any more.Even if I(23)Bsold the first book,I had everything I could ever need.I knew that pen would bring me luck,though.And I felt(24)Balready,just by having Cody in my life,especially when I heard what he did to get it.
In the lunchroom,Cody heard an older boy talking about having a lucky(25)C.He decided to get it for me.The boy was a tough negotiator(强硬的谈判者) but Cody didn't (26)A.In the end,he(27)D his favorite Matchbox car,two army men his brother gave him,a crayon,and a piece of candy-his most important things,for that pen.Just to make (28)C feel better.
I still have that pen,though it's long out of ink,in a cup on my desk.When a refusal letter arrives and I start feeling(29)B,I look at it and remember just how lucky I am.For while I value that pen,it's Cody who I really (30)D in my life.
