一、完形填空
I was in Mrs. Black's third grade class and one day I brought home an invitation. “I'm not __1__,” I said. “She's a new girl named Ruth, and Bernie and Pat aren't going, either. She asked the __2__class, all 36 of us to her 9th birthday party.” Mom studied the handmade invitation, and then she said, “Well, you are going! I'll__3__a present tomorrow.” When Saturday arrived, Mom rushed me out of__4__and made me wrap (包装) the pretty pink mirrorbrushandcomb set she'd bought. Then she drove me over to Ruth's home in her car. The biggest cake I ever saw__5__on one table. It had__6__pink candles and a messily printed “Happy Birthday, Ruth”. Thirtysix cups filled with homemade candy were near the cake—each one with a__7__on it.
“Where's your mom?” I asked Ruth.
Looking down at the floor, she said, “Well, she's sick.”
“Oh.__8__your dad?”
“He's gone.”
Then there was a__9__, except for a few coughs from behind a closed door. Some 15 minutes passed…then 10 more. No one else was coming. Looking up I saw Ruth's face with tears. All__10__, my eightyearold heart was filled with pity for Ruth and anger at my 35 classmates. I said, “Who needs__11__?” Ruth's sad look changed to excited__12__. There we were—two small girls and a big cake, 36 named cups and games to play. In a flash it was noon, and Mom drove to pick me up. “Mom, Ruth just loved the present. I was the only one there—out of Mrs. Black's whole class. And I can't wait to tell__13__of them what a great party they missed!” Mom stopped the car and__14__me tight. With tears in her eyes, she said, “I'm so__15__of you!” That was the day I learned that one person could really make a difference. I had made a big difference to Ruth's ninth birthday, and Mom had made a big difference to my life.
