Even before my father left us, my mother had to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, "Mom, I can't peel potatoes. I have only one 1 ."
"Get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," Mom said, without looking up. "And don't use that as a (n) 2 for anything again!"
One day, our teacher had each of us race 3 the monkey bars ( 攀爬架 ), swinging from one rung ( 横杠 ) to the next. When it was my 4 , I shook my head. Some kids behind me 5 , and I went home crying.
Hearing my story, Mom hugged me. The next afternoon, she took me 6 to school. At the empty playground, Mom looked carefully at the rungs. "Now, 7 up with your right hand," she advised. She stood by as I tried hard to lift myself with my right hand 8 I could hook ( 勾住 ) the rung with my other elbow ( 肘 ). Day after day we practiced and she praised me for every rung I 9 .
I'll never forget the next time, crossing the rings, I looked 10 at the kids standing there with their mouths 11 .
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I 12 myself into the bed, crying. I could hear Mom come in, "Mom," I said sadly, " 13 of the boys would dance with me."
It was a long 14 before Mom said, "Oh, honey, someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat." Her voice was so 15 that I could hardly get it. I could see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she had suffered ( 遭受 ) in bringing me up. She had never let me see her tears.
Mother's tears are always there in my heart. I will beat any difficulty off with one hand.

Have you ever noticed that your fingers are wrinkled （有皱纹的） when you've just finished swimming or（1） cloths？It seems（2） your hands have aged 30 years in a short time.But is this an accident？Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies？
The wrinkles looked a bit（3） the patterns on the bottom of the running shoes.So （4） made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hands hold things better.
To test this，researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles （弹珠） from water（5） their hands.But（6） they started to pick up the marbles，half the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour.
The researchers discovered the people who had wrinkled fingers completed the task faster that those whose hands were dry.But when they（7） to move dry marbles，all the people performed the same，no matter whether（8） had the wrinkled fingers or not.
Our ancestors might not play with marbles，but wrinkled fingers could make（9） easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from（10） .
Similarly，our feet （11） get wrinkled in water.This may develop from our ancestors' need to run（12） the wet ground.
But the question is，if wrinkled fingers are so helpful， （13） don't our hands just stay that way all the time？In fact，there（14） several disadvantages about wrinkled fingers.They make us feel（15） .And wrinkled fingers don't have enough sense of touch.
