Question

【題目】It was a cold afternoon in winter. My oldest son, Stephen, was at school, and Reed, my husband, at work. My ______ little ones were sitting around the kitchen table. Tom was making a paper plane, while Sam was _______ on a painting.

But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly and was lost in her project. Every once in a while she would ask how to ________ the name of someone in our family, then carefully form the letters one by one. Next, she would add flowers with small items. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand corner. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh (嘆息) of satisfaction.

“What are you doing, Honey?” I asked. She looked quickly at her brother before looking back at me. “It’s a ________ .” she said, covering up her work with her hands.

Next, she put her work into a box. When she had finished, she disappeared up the stairs.

It wasn’t until later that evening that I ________ a “mailbox” beside the doors to each of our bedrooms. There were little notes saying that she loved all of us. She hadn’t _______ Sam or baby Paul. They are pages of flowers with happy faces. “He can’t read yet,” she whispered (低聲說), “________he can look at the pictures.” Each time I received one of my little girl’s gifts, it _______ my heart. I was touched at how carefully she paid attention to what wrong happened to us. When Stephen lost a baseball game, there was a letter telling him she thought he was the best ballplayer in the whole world. After I had a _______day, there was a message thanking me for my efforts.

This same little girl is grown now, driving off every day to the college, but some things about her have ______ changed. Yesterday I found a love note next to my bedside. “Thanks for always being there for me, Mom,” it read, “I’m glad that we’re the best friends.”
