六、完形填空。
“Mummy, I don't like you,” Jenny, my three-year-old daughter, said.
“Okay...Is that because you love me?” I asked.
“No. You're not lovely.”
That night, when I washed my face, I looked in the mirror(镜子) for a long time—not because I was hurt by my daughter's
1, but because I noticed there was no light in my eyes.
I took out a pen and began writing a list—a list to
2 myself; a list to put sparkles(光芒) back into my eyes. I once made many lists but

7.

Everyone taking part in the Polar Plunge received a
11. Whenever I wore it, Jenny asked, “Is that your Polar Plunge clothing?” I answered
12, “Yes!” “I want to do that too.” I was happy that she
13 I jumped into a freezing lake, and that she wanted to do the activities with me.
With each goal crossed off the list, a piece of myself is
14. Not only am I showing my family it's important to
15, but also I'm showing myself that I'm worth(值得) it.
