Cloze Test
A
I remember the day a few years ago when my 4-year-old daughter’s eyes sparkled (闪烁) as she saw me sit down in her classroom.
I was spending that morning in her school, because all the moms had been
1
for a Mother’s Day celebration with their kids. She could
2
believe that I was actually there with her. She waved to me vigorously (用力地) and couldn’t
3
her excitement. She showed me the corner where she loves to sit down to
4
. “Strange Dog!” she screamed as she
5
me her favorite book. Even her teacher was
6
, “Is that Yasmeen? I’ve never heard her speak so loudly!” The soft-spoken,
7
little girl in school had transformed into the loud and joyful one
8
as she was at home. We read books and played games. It felt like we were in our own room, and so many
9
and hugs we had. When the celebration ended, she was
10
to let me go. After I
11
I would return again she ran up to me with open
12
for the warmest hug I had ever received. What a beautiful moment!
I often
13
the sparkles in her eyes during the two hours I stayed in her nursery school. There I enjoyed the precious moment when my daughter thought I was
14
. She believed I could do anything and regarded me as a
15
. The two hours is enough for mothers to
16
a good relationship with their kids. I also think how time flies. It seems as if yesterday, she was a baby. Today she’s a little girl with
17
, with likes and dislikes. Tomorrow she will be a teenager and think that I don’t
18
her because I’m from a different generation. Already I see her growing up too quickly, and it breaks my heart to think of this
19
development of the mother-daughter relationship, of the move into
20
. I am sure our relationship will blossom in different ways later.

My younger daughter rushed upstairs, her face wet with tears. She said she was having trouble putting together a Lego structure and couldn’t
1
what to do. When she asked her elder sister for
2
, her words hurt her heart.
I went downstairs to
3
privately with my older child. I sat down next to her. “I have something to
4
you,” I said in a low and
5
voice. My daughter looked into my eyes nervously. “Whether you like it, you’re
6
your little sister’s self-respect. The way she feels about herself will
7
come from how you treat her.
8
, your opinion of her may be even more important than mine.”
I
9
to let my daughter absorb this

. When I continued talking, I
11
myself by letting out something I hadn’t fully appreciated until that moment. “Do you know why I know the effect your
12
has on your sister’s life?” My daughter shook her
13
. “Because I was the little sister. Yes, my sister and I
14
over clothes, music, whose turn it was to feed the cat, the bathroom, and other silly things, but never once did my sister
15
me or put me down. Not once.”
By now I was crying. Surprisingly my daughter wasn’t looking at me
16
. With a mixture of interest and sadness, my daughter seemed to think what I had to say was something worth
17
. I attempted to control my unexpected
18
. “We all need someone in our corner, to believe in us when we don’t believe in ourselves. And when you criticize, she
19
. But when you praise or encourage her, she is happy.”
