Last year, my mom found out that she had stomach cancer. I thought she’d be fine after she got 　36 as she was diagnosed(诊断)early. She had an operation to 37 a third of her stomach to stop the cancer from spreading. And for two months she went back and forth to the 　38 . But I never visited her because I was 　39 with school abroad and didn’t fully know what was 　40 . After her treatment, she 　41 working because of her poor health and ate a(n) 　42 diet. I visited her in the summer holiday. She seemed better, so I forgot that there was a possibility of cancer 　43 .

　When school 　44 , I said goodbye to my family. My mom called me from home every day. 　45 in early November, my dad called instead. He sounded 46 .

　 “What’s wrong? How come Mom’s not calling me today?” I asked. After a few seconds, he said my mom’s cancer had returned and spread throughout her 　47 . Her survival rate was less than 30%.

　 After I put down the phone, I 　48 . Tears kept coming out. I didn’t want to 　49 it. I couldn’t accept the 　50 that my mom might not have much time left. I cried and cried and at last, I stopped crying. I thought I should stop acting like a 　51 and pull myself together.

　 Looking back to when my mom first got cancer, I 　52 how stupid I was for not appreciating her. I feel bad that I didn’t visit her in the hospital. I should have cared. She’s my mom. 　53 , it’s not too late. She recovered. I’ll try to spend more time with my mom 　54 . I hope you will do the same for your mom. Spend some time with your loved ones 　55 it is too late.

   I grew up knowing I was different, and I   1   it. I was born with a misshapen lip. When my schoolmates asked, “What happened to your 2  ?” I’d tell them I’d fallen and   3   it on a piece of glass. Somehow it seemed   4   acceptable to have suffered an accident than to have been born   5  . I was sure that no one  6   my family could love me, or even liked me. Then I entered Mrs Leonard’s second-grade class.

   Mrs Leonard was round and pretty, with shining brown hair and warm, dark,   7   eyes. Everyone adored (敬重) her. But   8   came to love her more than I did. And for a   9   reason.

   The time came for the   10   tests given at our school. I could only just hear out of one ear, and was not   11  to reveal something else that would single   12   out as different. So I cheated.

   The “whisper test”   13   each child to go to the classroom door, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger,   14   the teacher whispered something from her desk,   15   the child repeated. Then the same for the other ear. Nobody checked how tightly the   16   ear was covered, so I only pretended to block mine.

   As  17   I was the last. But all through the testing I   18   what Mrs Leonard might say to me. I knew from previous years that the teacher   19   things like “The sky is blue.” Or “Do you have new shoes?”

   My   20   came. I turned my bad ear toward her,   21   the other just enough to be able to hear. I waited and then came the words that God had surely put into her mouth,   22   words that changed my life   23   .

   Mrs Leonard, the teacher I   24   , said softly, “I   25   you were my little girl.”

Word came that the government must control the spread of this disease.

“Our job，”said the　26　officer，“is to spray the wall of every house in every town and village in the malaria parts of Mexico.You may be　27　to learn that there are about ninety-nine thousand　28　villages and towns.Some are big places like the capital city，　29　are single houses deep in the forest or upon the mountaintops.The men working with our program say that most of these people　30　within districts which are　31　enough for the mala ria-carrying mosquitoes to live in and spread the disease.That　32　that we must plan to spray the bricks of　33　three million houses once or twice a year for five years.”

“We have　34　everything very carefully，”said the officer　35　.“Our advance guards have drawn　36　of some forty thousand parts of the country for　37　by the spray teams.Each house in the malaria districts has been given a special　38　so that we can work in order.The United States has given us cars and trucks to carry the spray teams and their　39　.”

“The malaria program has been　40　with the people in this country.Everyone wants to　41　.The Defense Department is helping us plan the　42　of men and supplies.The Education Department has printed sheets in Spanish to explain　43　malaria is spread.Resistance is a problem.It was in the neighboring country—the United States that such resistance to spray was first　44　.Take the　45　of the housefly and D.D.T. At fist D.D.T. killed them off.Now it won’t hurt a fly.”

“What worries people is the danger that the mosquitoes may become resistant，”said the officer at last.
