Question

I guess the day I went to college was one of the happiest of my mother’s life. Istill remember the day we ______ there.

Because, to my mother who dropped out of school during the war, this was a big ______, on which she insisted that I ______ a white shirt and a necktie. But when we finally reached the campus and got off the car, we were ______ by young men in tank tops (背心)and shorts. I felt that my mother made me ______.

She wanted to know where the ______ was, and found someone to give us ______, “Charley, look at all the books!” she felt ______. “You could stay in here all four years.’’

Everywhere we went she kept ______. “Look! That small area—you could study there.” And, “Look, that cafeteria table, you could eat there.” I ______ it because I knew she would be leaving soon.

An hour later, I carried my trunk to the stairwell of my dormitory. My mother was holding my two baseball bats.

“Here,” I said, ______ my hand,” I’ll take the ______.”

“ I’ll go up with you. ”

“No, it’s all right.”

“ ______ I want to see your room.”

I couldn’t think of anything else that wouldn’t ______ her feelings, so I just pushed my hand out farther. Her face ______ and handed me the bats.

“Charley,” she said. Her voice was ______ now, and it sounded different. “Give your mother a kiss.” I leaned forward. She threw her arms ______ my neck and drew me close. I could smell her perfume and her hair spray that she used for this ______ day.
