Ⅲ. Read and complete the tasks.
A. Complete the cloze test.
How long has it been since you did something for your parents?
I was greatly 1 by the question when I saw it online. For me, it had been a really long time. Feeling sorry, I decided to do something to help my parents have a 2 night.
After we finished dinner, I decided to 3. As usual, my mum told me not to do them, but I still wanted to.
I gathered all of the dishes. Then, I put the first 4 into hot water. But something unexpected happened—the fat dissolved(溶解) quickly and the bowl became very oily. I couldn’t 5 it! Never had I faced a problem like this before.
Luckily, my mum came in and 6 me. “Put some detergent(洗涤剂) into the water,” she said, and then she washed one dish like that.
Washing then became 7. Doing as she said, I could easily clean off the dirt. My mum then told me to put the dishes under running water at least four times.
About an hour later, I finished my task. Looking at the tidy dishes, I was so excited that I could not find a word to describe my 8.
I realized how hard my mum works. Though the 9 she does seems trivial(琐碎的), she does it without complaint every night. Maybe she is a 10 woman in others' eyes, but she is the greatest woman in my heart.
Thank you, Mum. I love you.
