一、完形填空
When I was about 14, I had a friend who liked to tell me my shortcomings(缺点).
For example, I was very short; I wasn’t a top student; I talked too much; I was too proud
and so on. I became so _________ that I didn’t want to meet her again. I ran to my
_________ with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me _________ and asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Jane,
didn’t you _________ what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said
and mark the points that are _________. Pay no attention to the other things she said. I
did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.
Some I couldn’t change, like being very _________. But many I could and I wanted to
change. For the first time, I had a better understanding of myself.”
I brought the list back to Daddy. “He reused to read it. That’s just for _________,”
he said. “You know _________ than any other person the truth about yourself. When
_________ about you is true, you’ll find it be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen
to them all, but only hear the truth and do what you know. It is the right thing to do.
