I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow(肘). Then he gave her some _________, “Don’t treat her any _________ from the other girls. Demand more.” And she did! My mother had to work to _________ my family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the _________, “Mom, I can’t peel(削……皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n) _________for anything again!” Of course I could peel potatoes—with my good hand, while holding them down with my other arm. There was always a way, and Mom knew it. “If you try hard _________,” she said, “you can do anything.” Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars(攀爬架). When it was my turn, I _________ my head. Some kids laughed. I went home crying. After work the next afternoon, Mom took me back to the school playground.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by_________ I practiced, and she praised me when I made progress. I’ll never forget the next time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open. It was the way with everything. When I _________ I can’t handle things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to _________ anything. And she taught me I could, too.

试题解析：本文大意：我一出生我的左胳膊从肘以下就没有了，医生告诉妈妈不要把我与别的孩子区别对待，妈妈也确实是这么做的。妈妈要上班养家，家里的五个女孩都要搭手帮助做家务。当我告诉妈妈我不能削土豆皮，因为我只有一只手时，妈妈告诉我不要再拿这个当借口。每件事都有方法，我也确实把土豆皮削了。妈妈告诉我，只要足够努力，什么事都能做到。又有一次上课时，老师让每个人攀爬，轮到我时，我摇头，同学们笑我，我哭着跑回家。妈妈带我到学校练习，等到下一次上课我在同学们面前爬过栅栏时，他们吃惊地张大了嘴。每次当我害怕自己不能处理事情时，妈妈的笑脸就会出现。妈妈有一颗勇于面对任何事情的心，她也教会了我。
