A young Scottish lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home. The daughter objected to her family’s 　1.　lifestyle and said, “I don’t want your God. I am leaving!” She left home. Before long, she was disappointed and unable to find a job, so she took to the streets to do everything she could to 　2.　. Many years passed by, her father died, her mother grew 　3.　, and the daughter became more and more stubborn in her way of life.

No  4. was made between mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having 　 heard of her daughter’s whereabouts, went to the poor part of the city in 　5.　of her daughter. She stopped at 　6.　of the rescue missions(收容所) with a simple speech. “Would you allow me to 　7.　this picture?” It was a picture of the smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten 　8.　at the bottom: “I love you still … come home!”

One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat 　9.　listening to the service, all the while letting her 　10.　wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?

She couldn’t 　11.　until the service was over. She stood and went to look. It was her mother, and there were those words, “I love you still … come home!”　12.　she stood in front of the picture, she wept. It was too 　13.　to be true.

It was night, but she was so 　14.　by the message that she started walking home.　15.　the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and 　16.　her way timidly. As she knocked, the door 　17.　open on its own. She thought someone must broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s 　18.　, the young girl ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me! It’s me! I’m home!”

The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s 　19.　. The daughter said, “I was so worried and thought someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been 　20.　.”

“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very　 1　 and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they have　 2　  it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the　 3　 .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of　 4 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid　 5　 trouble.
I admit that we should keep　 6　 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your　 7　 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do　8　 to make things better.
I used to be a(n)  9　 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in  10  when I couldn’t answer it.
“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know 　 11　 you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher　 12　 me to go to the blackboard and　 13　 what I knew. If I had　 14　 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s  15　, I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I　 16　 you could do it!”
Since then, I have become active in maths as　 17　 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know　 18　 I do can make things better. Everyone is the　 19　 of his own fate.
If we make mistakes, we should take on an active　20　 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.
