It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to 43 it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a(an) 44 . She was the head mistress of our orphanage(孤儿院), who was always kind but 45 with us. As the tables were not dry from the clear coating(清漆), our woodworking teacher told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories.

As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her 56 to get something important. I followed her 57 into a dark corner. She picked something up. 58 she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table. Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago. Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of 59 to Mother Henderson, who kept the table for a young orphan who 60 it so much. 41. A. tired B. ashamed C. proud D. amused 42.
