Question

完形填空

“Mommy,  look!” cried my daughter,  Darla,  pointing to a chicken hawk in the air．

“Uh huh, ” I answered,  driving,  lost in thought about the timetable of my day．

       filled her face．

“What’s the matter,  sweetheart?” I asked．

“Nothing, ” my seven-year-old daughter said． The moment was gone．

Dinner,  baths and phone calls        the hours until bedtime．

“Come on,  Darla,  time for bed!” She raced past me up the stairs． Tired,  I kissed her and tucked her in．

“Mom,  I forgot to give you something!” she said．

“Give it to me in the morning．” I said． My       was gone． I could hardly stay cool．

“You won’t have time in the morning!” she talked back quickly．

“I’ll take time, ” I answered． Sometimes no matter how hard I tried,  time was never enough．

She wasn’t ready to      up yet． “No,  you won’t! It will be just like today when I told you to look at the chicken hawk． You didn’t     listen to what I said．”

I was too tired to argue; she hit too        to the truth． “Good night!” I shut her door in anger．

Later though,  her gray-blue eyes filled my vision as I thought about how little time we really had until she was grown and gone． My husband asked me what was going on and I told him．

“Maybe she was not asleep yet． Why don’t you     ?” he said．

I followed his advice,       it was my own idea． I opened her door gently． In Darla’s hand I could see her paper all crumpled (弄皱的) up． She had torn into small pieces a big red heart with a poem she had written titled,  “Why I Love My Mother?”

Why I Love My Mother

Although you’re busy, and you work so hard,

You always take time to play with me,

I love you Mommy,

Because I am the biggest part of your busy day!

Tears filled my eyes． When I softly touched her face,  she awakened from a dreamless sleep and asked,  “Why are you    ,  Mommy?”

“You ARE the most important part of my busy day!”

She smiled and then went back to sleep,  not really understanding how strongly I __ __what I said．
