文档简介
2020年:Its fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA. A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites. Right before 36 Kennedy Airport in New York, my grandma 37 me of the behavior of the native mosquitoes around the 38 like me. She said, Theres an old sayingthe 39 you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood 40 to the mosquitoes. Not 41 it, I replied, Grandma, thats just an old wives tale!Well, less than a week 42 my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted with a 43 of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being 44 , but they all proved useless.Late one 45 in my cousins home, I couldnt bear the 46 of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort, I 47 my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being 48 she said, There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep. With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously (妒嫉地) 49 her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would 50 on her face. However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed (惊奇的), I ran to others 51 , only to find they were all sleeping 52 as the same thing occurred again and again.From those bites, I came to accept my grandmas silly tale. From then on, Ive always tried to keep a(n) open mind about those strange old wives tales because they do have some truth to them.36. A. leaving B. passing C. visiting D. finding37.
