任务一 完形填空
When I was in the sixth grade, one day my teacher asked our class to think about
the question "What does 'doing the right thing' mean to you?" over the weekend. By
Monday, we had to hand in an essay(文章) on it, and be ready to live up to(实践)
our 1.
The whole weekend, I was trying to 2 something that would impress(给……留
下深刻的好印象) my teacher and be easy to live up to. I 3 to my parents, called
my grandmother and asked my neighbour. Everyone had good answers, but I didn't feel
like I could live up to them.
On Sunday afternoon, my parents said they were going to my aunt Cindy's house.
That usually meant that I would have to 4 time with my four-year-old cousin Andrea.
Though she was a very clever little angel, I had no time to play with her or tell her
interesting stories. I found a cartoon for Andrea, and then I sat down and started to write
my essay. It was due(到期的) the next morning and this was my last chance.
Soon I felt a pair of 5 on me. It was Andrea.
"What are you doing?" Andrea asked.
"I have to write an essay 6 what 'doing the right thing' means to me," I said.
Andrea laughed. Could this 7 four-year-old girl know the answer? "That's not
8," she said. "'Doing the right thing' means being 9 to your family and
friends and never telling a lie. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables. 10 when you are
dirty."
I looked at my little cousin with great 11. Then I jumped up and gave her a big
hug. Not only did Andrea answer a very difficult question for me, but I could 12
live up to all of her answers. All I had to do was to be nice, not to lie, to keep myself
13 and clean. So when I wrote my essay, I described the 14 about Andrea and
how she answered the question.
Two weeks later, my teacher gave back everyone's essay. I got an "A+" along with a
little note at the top. It 15, "Always do the right thing and give Andrea an 'A+'
too!"
