一、完形填空
(2024无锡江阴期末)"Stars are afraid of city lights, but a little song is always good for something." Grandma puts her arms around me and sings softly in her low and beautiful voice.
Stars are for 1 wishes-everyday wishes-like getting more cream on your cupcake. But shooting stars流星 are different.
"Shooting stars are 2," Grandma says. So I keep a special wish ready-ready for a shooting star to catch my wish and dance across the sky.
From the balcony of our tenth-floor flat, I search the sky, 3 to see a shooting star. "Tomorrow can't come if you don't dream tonight." She kisses my hair and puts me to bed.
I forget my 4 when I wake up, but sure enough it's a new day. Grandma is singing in the kitchen. She gives me one biscuit for each hand. Then it's time for school.
Before the 5 floor, the elevator电梯 stops and goes dark. My heart beats跳动 so hard that I feel the beating in my ears. Grandma rings the bell. "Power is off along the whole street," calls Mr Simon from above us.
Grandma holds my hands, 6 we sing together in the dark elevator.
Before long, Mr Simon helps us climb up to the fourth floor. Grandma takes my hand, and we walk down the stairs台阶 to the first floor.
The power is still off when I come home.
After dinner and homework, we come to the 7 again and watch day turn into evening. Lights come on far away, but it's dark here.
"Stars might not be so afraid tonight," I say. "Star light, star bright," I start to sing, and Grandma joins in.
Flash! A light shoots across the sky 8. Grandma stops singing. She gives me a smile. "Don't 9 me now, or it won't come true."
"10 do you know I made a wish?"
"I could feel it."
Like magic, I feel my wish holding to that shooting star, dancing across the sky to our songs.
