36-40. DACBD 41-45. ACBDC 46-50. DCBAB 51-55. CDBAD As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing thingsfor my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimeslooked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to 36 out at home with even the simplest things.
Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother 37 me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of 38 . Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, 39 for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very 40 to help her bring the groceries into the house. 41 I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the 42 for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying. Don’t get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt 43 about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my 44 . But I also realized that once I did change, there’d be no going back. 45 I took on more responsibility, my parents would start 46 more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would 47 something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) childto a more 48 , caring and giving young man.
I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) 49 to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the 50 , I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning 51 . Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and 52 back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!
