高中英语语法填空:短文题型基础练习 Test 2
As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious outside, but I wanted to be liked inside.
Once I left home to hitch-hike to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn't 61 , and there were many times I didn't feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. 62 I returned home, I was different, not so outwardly sure of myself.
I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was staying with us, was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren't there. I told my mom, and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl, no one 63 (replace) me. I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful qualities, but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even 64 my faults—and there were many-I was a 65 (love) member of the family who couldn't be replaced.
I became a searcher, 66 to find out who I was and 67 made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start 68 . I started to resist pressure to act in ways that I didn't like any more, and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more 69 that no one can ever take my place.
Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special,no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about 70 (replace). You can't be.
