完形填空(二) 许愿蒲公英+创造性思维+活在当下
A [2019·海淀二模]
Have you ever blown dandelion(蒲公英) seeds to make a wish? Me too. Have you ever eaten a dandelion? Me neither.
“Time to go, Athena,” Mama said from the sidewalk. She 1 open the car door waiting for me. I stepped in the car with my book. “She knew I didn’t eat dandelions. Why did I have to pick them with my family every spring?” I thought.
My father and grandmother smiled from the front seats of the car. I turned and 2 to Brigid, the girl who had just moved in. She stood across the street and watched. I was glad she didn’t ask where we were going.
We rode into the 3 , not too far from our house just outside Chicago. I set down my book feeling the warm breeze. I told the wind, “I hope we are not there yet.”
I had never seen anyone in the field with us, but I was always 4 that someone would notice us picking dandelions. People in America pulled dandelions from their yards. What would the new neighbors think if they found out our family ate weeds (杂草)?
We drove west until the houses stopped. Then we stopped. We walked through a large field. Hundreds of yellow flowers 5 over the soft earth. I looked for a place to hide.
“What’s the matter with you, Athena?” Grandmother asked. “Nothing,” I said. “But why do we eat dandelions? No one else does.” “The best 6 in the world,” Grandmother answered.
It seemed to take hours to fill the bags. By the time we were ready to leave, we had enough dandelions. On the way home, Mama and Grandmother talked about hosting a dinner party for the new neighbors.
The night of the party, Brigid arrived with her parents. Mama served octopus with onions, peppers stuffed with lamb and rice, and horta made of dandelions. Our guests ate everything. Brigid tasted the octopus and the lamb. Then she put her fork on the horta. “Wait!” I said. Too late. “You ate the dandelions!” I told her 7 . “Not bad,” she said and ate another bite. We both laughed.
After dinner, Brigid and I went to the backyard. The stars reminded me of dandelions in the soft field. I closed my eyes and made a 8 : to be as open-minded as my family and my new friends.

A Bottle of Milk
I recently heard a story about a very famous research scientist who was interviewed by a newspaper reporter. He was asked why he was able to be so much more 1 than the other persons. He said that it all came from an 2 with his mother when he was young.
He tried to remove a bottle of milk from the fridge when he lost his hold on the bottle, spilling the milk all over the kitchen floor! Instead of 3 at him, his mother said, “Robert, what a great and beautiful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to 4 with the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
Indeed, Robert played it. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up. So we would use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He 5 the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a difficult experiment in how effectively to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Now, let’s 6 a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it 7 . The scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make 8 and he’d like to try a lot of things in different ways.
Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would follow the example of Robert’s mother?

If I could go back in time
One of the most popular topics in the history of science fiction has been the idea of time travel.
When I was a child, I often dreamed about a time machine that would allow me to “save” certain moments of my life, so that in case I failed to do something, I could always “load” my life from a checkpoint. As I grew 1 , my life experiences gradually became more diverse(多样的). In many situations, I had no idea how to act properly, what decisions to make, what path to follow; 2 , I made mistakes. While many of my actions back then turned out for the good in the future, some mistakes provided many painful moments for me and people around me. Mistakes are certain to happen, but they allow us to learn, 3 ourselves, and drive us to change for the better—and still sometimes I would like to jump into a time machine, go back a couple of years ago, and make 4 .
Would I try to make other people act in a different way? I think no. I would rather 5 myself about the awaiting consequences(后果) of my most careless decisions. I would talk to a long-haired teen holding his first cigarette and tell him: “Don’t do that.” So many warnings I would give to myself that sometimes I think: was it really me who did this and that?
Having a time machine would make life easier. Perhaps, it is true. But what I think more often now is that living without this teaches us responsibility, about oneself, about important people to us, about one’s own life. And besides, our 6 make us what we are today. Today I am a person leading a healthy, active lifestyle; I try to live each day to fullness in order to 7 nothing.
If I could go back in time, I would try to make my 8 better. This is what our parents always try to do when we are children. But you know what? I am glad that no time machine has been invented.
