Metal braces (牙齿矫正器)had been on my   31   for weeks, but this was the day for the wire to be adjusted. Only those who have had braces will understand the terrible   32   of being “wired”. For the next 24 hours, it felt like every tooth was being   33   slowly by a giant clawhammer (拔钉锤).  34   drinking water caused pain.

By Thanksgiving Day, I had got used to it.   35   I didn’t use my teeth, the pain was bearable. But this was a day when teeth had to   36   longer than usual.

That was the Thanksgiving when I discovered something more   50   than good food.
