【解析】

文章大意：短文主要叙述了妈妈对我不同时期的爱和现在的感受。

1.句意：当我累了和饿的时候，她给我食物和睡觉的温暖的臂膀。

stand站立；sleep睡觉；sit坐。根据句意可知，故答案为B。

2.句意：当我摔倒伤到我自己时，她拥抱了我，把我抱起来。

myself我自己；herself她自己；ourselves我自己。根据主语I的提示可知，空处的词应是“我自己”，故答案为A。

3.句意：但是我生气地吼叫还击，“我应当被允许看恐怖的电影，我不是小孩儿了”。

quietly安静地；politely礼貌地；angrily生气地，根据句意可知，故答案为C。

4.句意：但是我又顶嘴—“我不应当被告诉干什么。我十七岁了”。

where to go去哪；what to do干什么；when to start什么时候出发。根据上句When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, "Please be back by ten!"当我是青少年和朋友一起出去时，她说，“10点前回来”可知，空处的句子应为“干什么”，故答案为B。

5.句意：我后悔顶嘴，没有听妈妈的话。

listening to听取；playing with和某人玩； cheering up振奋起来、高兴起来。根据句意可知，故答案为A。
