A Beautiful Dress
My neighbor’s eight-year-old daughter used to live in the countryside, her native place. Recently her parents 51 her to town to live with them. Wild and uneducated, she would use 52 words when she was angry. Sometimes she went so far as to 53 on the ground, to the 54 of all people around. Her parents tried to 55 her by beating and kicking. However, she became more 56 . Finally they became thoroughly 57 with her.

I listened to her 40 looking around as I loaded my stuff onto the conveyor belt (传送带).I didn’t want 41 to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go 42 of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 41 those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again 42 at the pier(码头)waving good-bye to my father as his 43 pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of 44 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of 45 in the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing 46 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood—my mother. For both my 47 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while 48 some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the 49 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. 50 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother 51 managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 52 .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 53 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to 54 a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this 55 into adventure for us all! Each relocation was a chance to 56 another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a 57 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 58 pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 59 attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so 60 all those years of my childhood—she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.
