Although his 1 was very difficult for her, I think it taught grandma that good health was not to be taken 2 , and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as 3 and as long as she could. One day, when she 4 to attend dancing lessons, we rolled our eyes in 5 and helplessly wished she would just stay home and 6 cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed 7 we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a 8 grandma.I suppose grandmas primary motivation for dancing was social. She had been a 9 girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpas quiet lifestyle before 10 any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, 11 , filler her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, and the challenge of learning. 12 the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma 13 everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, 14 soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor.Having taken dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances 15 and was soon participating in dancing 16 all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma 17 invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches. My attitude was 18 unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every 19 she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the 20 a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.1、Asuffering Bbirthday Chealth Ddeath2、Afor sure Bfor fun Cfor granted Dseriously3、Afully Bpeacefully Cpitifully Dcarefully4、Apretended Bannounced Crefused Dmanaged5、Aagreement Bexcitement Cembarrassment Danger6、Asell Bbake Cbuy Dkeep7、Auntil Bsince Cunless Dbefore8、Aloving Bdancing Ccaring Dselfless9、Ahumorous Bshy Cdetermined Dmean10、Amanaging Blosing Cdeveloping Dfalling11、Aat most Bto be honest Cin a word Don the other hand12、AOnce BSince CBecause DAlthough13、Apersuaded Bsatisfied Csurprised Dconfused14、Awhat Bthat Cwhich Dit15、Aeasily Bbusily Chard Dawkwardly16、Aperformances Btrainings Cpractice Dmatches17、Aunwillingly Bincreasingly Cproudly Dsurprisingly18、Ahardly Beven Cstill Dfairly19、Aincident Bpoint Croom Devent20、Ajudges Bcompetitors Cdancers DaudiencesSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.
