三、完形填空
One morning, six-year-old Brandon decided to make his parents pancakes.
He 1 a big bowl, pulled a chair to the table, opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy flour (面粉) bag. He put some flour 2 the bowl with his hands, mixed in a cup of milk and 3 some sugar.
But soon the bowl fell over and Brandon was 4 flour and got frustrated (沮丧的). He wanted this dish to be a(n) 5 gift for Mum and Dad, but it was getting very bad. He didn’t know what to do 6.
To make matters worse, his cat came near the bowl and he went to push it away, 7 the egg box onto the floor. He tried to clean up but got his clothes 8. Just then, he saw his dad 9 at the door.
Brandon’s eyes were full of tears. He was sure his dad would be angry at him, but his father wasn’t. 10, he picked up his crying son and kissed him.
That’s what we sometimes face in 11. We try to do something good, but it turns into a mess. Sometimes we just 12 there in tears because we can’t think of anything else to do. Hopefully, someone will come to help us 13 love us. We shouldn’t 14 trying to “make pancakes” for others. Sooner or later, we’ll get it 15, and then they’ll be glad about what we have tried.
