2017高考英语三轮复习完形填空专项训练58

　　Dear Laura,

　　I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love

　　would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you

　　36 .

　　I wanted to do something very

　　37

　　for my fifteen – year – old son, who has always been the perfect child. He

　　38

　　all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it

　　39

　　it looked almost new. I was so

　　40

　　of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.

　　I could

　　41

　　wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to

　　42

　　the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a

　　43

　　: “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”

　　I was so

　　44

　　. It had been a long – standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could

　　45

　　lessons. “L earn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s

　　46 .

　　I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could

　　47

　　this expensive gift.

　　Of course, the

　　48

　　awoke, and my son was thrilled（激动的）with my reaction. Many kisses were

　　49

　　, and I immediately wanted him to

　　50

　　my gift.

　　As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not

　　51

　　what I was expecting. Then I

　　52

　　that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

　　Of course I was the proudest mother

　　53

　　on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

　　So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still

　　54

　　and lives even in the ever–changing world of me, me, me!

　　I thought you’d love to

　　55

　　this story.

　　Yours,

　　Hilary

　　P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle.

　　Growing roots

　　When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr．Gibbs．He didn’t look like any doctor I’d

　　31

　　known．When Dr．Gibbs wasn’t

　　32

　　lives, he was planting trees．

　　The good doctor had some

　　33

　　theories on planting trees． He believed in “No pains, no gains”．He never

　　34

　　his new trees, which was

　　35

　　many people．Once I asked why．He __36

　　that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you water them, each following tree generation will

　　37

　　weaker and weaker．So you have to make things

　　46

　　I’ve been thinking that it’s time to

　　47

　　my prayer．I know my children are going to meet

　　_48

　　Where the heart is?

　　In three days I will leave China behind for a few weeks and head back to Australia to spend time with my family and friends. This will be a very

　　31

　　trip for me as, for the first time ever, I will not be

　　32

　　to my hometown. You see, my parents sold their house in my hometown and moved about 500 kilometers away.

　　As it

　　33

　　me I would be returning to a whole new place, I was

　　34

　　with two questions: Do I still have a hometown? Where is my home? I needed to do some research.

　　After reading A Story from the Chinese Diaspora, I learned I was not alone in feeling

　　35

　　about where I call home. In the story, a Chinese American girl

　　36

　　with finding her identity and

　　37

　　her past with her present. I realized the place we live now and the place we lived then, have a great

　　38

　　over who we are, where we long to be and where we feel

　　39

　　and safety.

　　Back to My Motherland

　　40

　　of a woman who left her motherland years ago and started a new life in America--the place she now calls home. But,

　　41

　　some people move on from their hometown and

　　42

　　a new life somewhere else, others have a strong

　　43

　　to the city that they grew up in. In Hometown Boy we learn of a man who clings(坚持) to his

　　44

　　and continues to make his hometown a

　　45

　　of his life for now and for the future. He makes it his

　　46

　　to give back to the community that has given so much to him and his family.

　　As I

　　47

　　the days until I head back to my motherland and

　　48

　　where exactly my home is, I am

　　49

　　to decide where my heart is. And quite

　　50

　　, my heart is wherever I am.
