The night of graduation, I was afraid. Two hundred people were sitting out there. I felt tense and I wanted to run away, 36 I couldn’t! After all, my own children were sitting in front of me with many other persons. I couldn’t be a coward(懦夫) before 37 . When I ended the speech, I was 38 at the cheering. And I never forget the first time I received the cheering in my life. Flowers arrived 39 my brothers and sister. My husband gave me silk roses. The reporters came with 40 and recorders and lots of questions. There were tears and hugs and congratulations. Sometimes, I sit down and 41 the tape of my gaduation speech. I hear myself say to the audience, “Don’t’ give up your 42 in life. Anything can happen if you believe. It means hard work, but 43 sure that you can do it, with God’s help.” And then, I remember mother’s 44 to me , a young girl: “Hurry, Gin, you’ll be late for school.” Yes, Mom, I was late 45 school, but it was sweeter for waiting. I only wish you and Dad could have been there to see your daughter and granddaughter in all their show and speech. 小题1: A.and B.then C.so D.but 小题2: A.them B.themselves C.him D.himself 小题3: A.worried B.worrying C.surprised D.surprising 小题4: A.at B.in C.to D.from 小题5: A.books B.newspapers C.cameras D.cars 小题6: A.put up B.put down C.put on D.put off 小题7: A.speech B.ideas C.dreams D.love 小题8: A.let B.take C.get D.make 小题9: A.shout B.shouting C.call D.calling 小题10: A.to B.for C.of D.with
