四、完形填空
There was once a little boy named Timmy from an American family. One day after school,Timmy was playing basketball in the living room and ______ knocked over an expensive vase(花瓶)from the shelf. Afraid of punishment,Timmy glued the pieces back together and put it back. However,his ______ mother noticed the changes in the vase. Timmy ______ a clever idea and said that a cat had jumped into the living room through the window and knocked over the vase.
His mother knew Timmy was lying. That night,she ______ him into the study. She took out a chocolate bar and handed him a piece of chocolate,saying,"Timmy,it's for you because you use your imagination(想象力)to ______ a cat that can open windows. You'll surely ______ great detective stories in the future." Then she gave him another piece of chocolate,adding,"This chocolate is for your great repair skills,because you repaired the vase almost perfectly. But repairing a vase needs ______ glue and greater skills. Tomorrow we will take the vase to an artist and see ______ he can make it as good as new."
As she spoke,she picked up a third piece of chocolate,saying,"I'd like to give you the last piece,because I'm really sorry. ______ a mother,I shouldn't put the vase in such a place,especially with an active ______ loving boy at home. I hope you weren't hurt or afraid,my dear."
After that day,Timmy never lied again. Whenever he thought of lying,those three pieces of chocolate would come into mind.
