At the meeting, the people were   20  by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother even though she had the scar on her face, but the little boy was still embarrassed(尴尬) and hid himself from everyone.   21 , he happened to hear of a talk between his mother and his teacher.

Sam: In  32 idea ,you are an adult at the  33  of 18. That’s when you can vote(投票)。You can help to   34  who rules(统治)the whole country .That’s also a grown-up does! My grandfather couldn’ t vote   35 he was 21.They changed（改变） it to 18 in 1971.
Jenny：I don’t 36  it’s hard to say . I can drive a car at 16, can’t I ?When you have a driver’s licence , you can 37 it to people to tell them your age for all kinds of things .  38    sixteen must be the age when you change from a  39  person to an adult.Because you can tell others you are not a  40   any more .
Suzie : Well , I think there is  41   wrong with American laws for when young people can  42  things . I can vote at 18 and drive at 16. So you would think 18 is a grown-up,  43  16 isn’t .But then I can’t drink wine（酒）until I’m 21 ! If I’m 44   an adult at 18, how can people stop me from  45   a cup of beer in a bar ?
