It was Friday afternoon. After getting off the school bus, Laura ran into the house 36 (happy).
“How was school, Laura?” asked 37 (she) mom.
“It was great, Mom. Labor Day (劳动节) is coming.”
Laura woke 38 early on Labor Day morning. Her dad said that in honor of (为纪念) Labor Day, the family planned to do some cleaning. Laura couldn’t believe it. She began to wonder 39 this was just a bad dream.
“Laura, your breakfast is ready. We have many things to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Laura’s mom. Laura asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day 40 holiday?”
“Yes, Laura, it is,” 41 (reply) her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you realize why Labor Day was celebrated in the beginning.”
Laura disliked the plan, but she had no choice. First, she was asked to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, her dad told her 42 (give) their dog a bath. It was a hard task, which needed a lot of careful work. She began the work unhappily.
But things began to change as she was doing the chores. She found it was so 43 (interest) with so many soap bubbles (泡泡) when she brushed the dog. Then it was yard work. When she finished her chores, Laura felt happy to see the yard looked much 44 (clean) than before.
Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something 45 (meaning) can also get special pleasure. Maybe this is the spirit of Labor Day.

38.句意:劳动节那天劳拉起得很早。根据“early on Labor Day morning”和空前“woke”,可知此处是短语wake up意为“起床”。故填up。
39.句意:她开始想知道这是否只是一场噩梦。根据“She began to wonder ... this was just a bad dream.”可知,wonder后接宾语从句,想知道是否是一场噩梦,引导词应填if/whether表示“是否”。故填if/whether。
40.句意:劳动节不是假日吗?空后“holiday”为可数名词单数形式,空处缺少冠词;根据句意,此处表示泛指,且holiday是以辅音音素开头的单词,应填不定冠词a。故填a。
41.句意:“是的,劳拉,它是,”她爸爸回答说。根据上下文,可知此句时态应为一般过去时,故空处应填过去式。故填replied。
42.句意:在那之后,她的父亲告诉她,去给他们的狗洗澡。根据短语tell sb. to do sth.,表示“告诉某人做某事”,可知空处应填不定式。故填to give。
43.句意:当她给狗刷毛的时候,她发现有这么多的肥皂泡很有趣。根据空前“so”,可知空处应填形容词;interest是名词,此处用来修饰物,用形容词interesting“有趣的”修饰。故填interesting。
44.句意:做完家务后,劳拉高兴地看到院子看起来比以前干净多了。根据空后“than”,可知空处应填形容词比较级。故填cleaner。
45.句意:做一些有意义的事情也可以得到特别的快乐。根据空前不定代词something,可知此处是形容词后置修饰不定代词,故空处应填形容词;meaning是名词,其形容词形式为meaningful。故填meaningful。
