完形填空
It's 27 years since my last conversation with my
mother, who didn't finish school like many of her contemporary girls. She often
told me, "I never got my 1 but one day you will."
Pointing to a tree or cow, she asked me to 2 their English names after her. Feeling 3, I asked, "Mama, why
do I have to learn these 4 phrases?" She held her pen right before
my eyes. "Hold it firmly," she 5 me, "for this pen and the new foreign
language will be your compass to 6 around the world." Sadly, my mother died
of breast cancer when I was six.
Turning seven, I traveled 30 miles to live
closer to my school. But "closer" is a 7 term in Uganda, which 8 I had to
get up as the 9 sun rose and then ran 8. 8 miles barefoot to
school. Also, I needed to carry a stick in 10 of snakes and dogs. During the 11 season, the path to school was 12 daily and I'd swim with one hand, using the other
hand to 13 the book bag on my head.
Research shows 70 percent of poor children don't
14 primary school in Uganda. Reasons for this 15 dropout rate includes the long 16 some children must 17 among many other reasons.
Fortunately, I've made it. Whenever I see the
sun rise, I am 18 of the wisdom of my mother, who 19 me to dream big and to use the 20 of the pen to make my dream come true.
