完形填空
It was a bright spring afternoon when Freda told me she wouldn’t need me any more.I had just finished my four-hour work- 1 up and down the stairs of her three-story home, cleaning the floor and washing the dished.She was 2 jeans and a sweater, sitting at the table I had just 3 , a pile of papers spread around her.Her husband’s 4 was going to be reduced by thirty percent, and they were trying to live as if it had 5 happened.I felt sorry for her, but I also felt a sense of 6 .
I had been cleaning Freda’s house for five years and had 7 an unexpected relationship with the family.It was not just 8 I had become an expert at scraping(刮掉)dirt stuck to their wooden floor 9 that I had learned exactly how to place toys on the girls’ beds.It was 10 than that, for I felt I had become a part of their 11 .
Freda stayed at home with the kids, 12 I would often see her in the morning 13 them to school.And I’d be there when they 14 home at lunch for sandwiches and piano practice.I had 15 them grow up.Now I was fired, but the 16 thing was that I still wanted to keep scraping away the dirt and dust for the family.
I left Freda’s house that day, wondering about the 17 of my relationship with my clients(主顾).Who am I 18 them? As a matter of fact, I’m 19 an employee-the lowest kind of employee.But I’m also a trusted 20 of the family.I can’t help worrying about what happens around me.
