四、完形填空
Last Monday, my brother Carl handed me a
1
with a cake on the cover.
“Since when did you start reading
2
magazines?” I asked.
“It’s Liz’s,” Carl said. Liz is
3
grandma. “She keeps looking at the picture of this cake! Maybe we can make one like this as a
4
for her birthday!”
“Good idea! Let’s do it together!” I said.
“I was excited about
5
Liz with it,” Carl said. “But just look at the recipe（食谱）!”
I began to read it. “So many steps!”
“Yes, there’s no
6
we could finish it by Saturday,” Carl said.
“Unless（除非）... Look,” I pointed. “I think I know
7
we can make it. We can make things
8
ahead（在前面）of time. If we do one or two of these little things each day and then put
9
together on Saturday morning, we could surprise Liz on time.”
Carl nodded（点头）, “That would be
10
.”
Then we shopped and made a recipe schedule（时间表）. Every
11
that week, Carl and I made at least one or two things on our schedule. Finally, the big day arrived.
“Oh my goodness!” Liz cried
12
Carl and I put the cake in front of her. “I cannot believe you’ve made the birthday cake that I wanted so much!” After
13
a piece of it, she said, “It is so delicious! All your love makes it the
14
in the whole world!”
Next time, if you face anything impossible, don’t worry. Make a plan first and do one
15
part at a time, and you really will get it done!
