When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I_____小題1:__ (leave).”
“If you want to run away , that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home __小題2:___ anything and you can leave the same way.” I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “I want your _小題3:__ back. You didn’t wear anything when you arrived.” This really angered me. I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and shouted , “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect ___小題4:___(come )back.”
I was so angry that I slammed (砰地關(guān)上) the door and stepped out on the front porch. ___小題5:____ (sudden) I realized that I was outside, with nothing on. Then I noticed that down the street, two neighbor girls were walking toward our house. I ran to bide behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was sure the girls___小題6:___ (pass) by. I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.

The door inched open and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your __小題10:___ (decide) about running away?” she asked.
“What’s for supper?” I answered.
