四、完形填空
Last Monday, my brother Carl handed me a 1 with a cake on the cover.
“Since when did you start reading 2 magazines?” I asked.
“It’s Liz’s,” Carl said. Liz is 3 grandma. “She keeps looking at the picture of this cake! Maybe we can make one like this as a 4 for her birthday!”
“Good idea! Let’s do it together!” I said.
“I was excited about 5 Liz with it,” Carl said. “But just look at the recipe（食谱）!”
I began to read it. “So many steps!”
“Yes, there’s no 6 we could finish it by Saturday,” Carl said.
“Unless（除非）... Look,” I pointed. “I think I know 7 we can make it. We can make things 8 ahead（在前面）of time. If we do one or two of these little things each day and then put 9 together on Saturday morning, we could surprise Liz on time.”
Carl nodded（点头）, “That would be 10.”
Then we shopped and made a recipe schedule（时间表）. Every 11 that week, Carl and I made at least one or two things on our schedule. Finally, the big day arrived.
“Oh my goodness!” Liz cried 12 Carl and I put the cake in front of her. “I cannot believe you’ve made the birthday cake that I wanted so much!” After 13 a piece of it, she said, “It is so delicious! All your love makes it the 14 in the whole world!”
Next time, if you face anything impossible, don’t worry. Make a plan first and do one 15 part at a time, and you really will get it done!
