完形填空。
My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would
1 at the correct answer. When I was youngerl thought
2 was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My
ears, Mum." She said, "No. Many important people are deaf. But I'd like you to
3 thinking about it and I'll ask
you
again soon."
Since making my first attempt (尝试), I had often thought over the question. So this time I told her, "Mum,
it must be our eyes." She looked at me and said, "You are
4 fast. Eyes are the windows of our heart, but the
answer is not correct because there are many blind people who are very successful."
Over the years, mother asked me a couple more times and always her response (答复) to my answers
was, "No, but you are getting
5 every year, my child." Then last year, my grandpa died.
6 was heart-broken
and was crying sadly. My mum looked at me when it was our
7 to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She
asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I got terribly
8 when she was asking me this at that time. I always thought this was a
9 between her
and me. She saw the puzzlement (困惑) on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows
that you have really
10 your life." She went on with tears in her eyes, " My dear, the most important body
part is your shoulders.""Is it because they
11 up my head?" I asked. "No, it is because on them a crying
friend or loved one can rest his head. I
12 hope that you have enough friends that you will have a shoulder
to cry on when you need it," she said. Then and there I understood what the most important body part meant.
