四、完形填空。
I get carsick. I can't help it. The only way for me to travel in a car is to ride in the front. That way, I can look out of the front window and I feel a little
comfortable
1
.
One day, we were going to a soccer game. We offered to give some other kids a
ride
2
. My father was driving our little family van.
After the game, it was time to go, so I took the soccer balls and put them in the back of the van. Then, all of a sudden, I felt a
push
3
from behind and my friends all crowded(挤满) onto the van and sat beside me. I was trapped in the
back
4
seat!
When my dad got in the van, I could see that he looked
worried
5
. I was embarrassed(尴尬的) that he might mention my problem, so he was
cut off
6
as he was about to speak. I shouted, “Let’s go! We’re all good back here.” And we started out.
Maybe it was because it was so hot and
crowded
7
, soon I began to feel very sick. I reached for the window, forgetting that the window in the back of the van can’t go down. I
failed
8
to open the window to get the air moving. Oh no! I was really in trouble.
I could see my dad looking in the rear-view mirror, and he could see I was turning green because of a(n)
terrible
9
stomach. Suddenly, he pulled into a parking lot in front of a
store
10
and stopped the car. “Okay,” he said. “Everyone gets out for a(n)
ice cream
11
.”
Everyone got out of the car. First John, and then Yuan, Will, Mohamed and Ben. For me, it was a
long
12
time and it seemed to take forever. Finally, I slid off(滑落) the seat and got out for some
fresh
13
air!
I made it out of the car with great difficulty. But I became well again
quickly
14
. And before I knew it, we were driving down the street with me in the front seat this time. Everyone was enjoying their ice cream.
My dad winked(眨眼) at me as we drove down the street. I
smiled
15
back. Sometimes dads can be so smart.
