It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. My husband was taking care of our baby girl so that my six - year - old son and I could do some yard work, just the two of us. It was sure to be 41 . But soon, the clouds of mosquitoes seemed 42 to our bug spray(喷雾). I was sweating, itchy, and arguing with my son about 43 to pull weeds. I had told him the “right” way - getting those weeds out from the bottom, by the roots, removing them entirely.
However, my son went about things in his own way. He pulled the 44 of the weeds off, moving quickly down the line as he left the remaining part still in the soil. Somehow, I found this to be incredibly 45 . Why couldn't he do it in my way and save me the time of having to 46 his portion(部分)? Why did he do it at all if he wasn't going to do it properly?
“If you do as told, we'd be done earlier and 47 a longer period before we would have to return and pull weeds next time,” I said, trying to keep my tone 48 .
He went back to his work, shaking dirt from his handful of growing things and throwing 49 stems into our shared basket. “People do things... 50 , Mom,” he said innocently.
My fire soon faded, replaced by the 51 realization that I'd just received a valuable 52 from the person that I was supposed to be teaching. While trying to 53 my baby girl, my kindergartener, and the yard work, 54 was a lifeline for me, a coping mechanism. But my way, perhaps, not the best way after all. His time shouldn't be 54 . His job was to be a kid and take his time, for as long as he was able.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Every Lunar New Year, China introduces a zodiac(生肖) sign from a cycle of 12 lucky animals. This year, it's the Year of the Dragon, or more 56________(accurate), “the Year of the Loong”. Then what's the difference?
The Western 57________(describe) of dragons as “fire - breathing winged creatures” was inspired by literature such as Beowulf - an old English epic about a Scandinavian hero 58________ contribution was killing monsters, including a dragon. Greek fairy tales also presented dragons 59________ violent sea monsters or guards of valuable 60________ (possession). By contrast, “loong”, a word 61________(create) in the 19th century, reminds people of strength and fortune, and should 62________(distinguish) from its Western cousin. In Shiji, 63________ 2,000 - year - old Chinese history book, the emperor's mother dreamed of a dragon lying on her body, 64________(predict) the birth of a future emperor. Exactly for this reason, Chinese people proudly claim they are “descendants of the Loong”.
Therefore, some culture experts have been calling for a switch to “loong” 65________(tell) the Chinese dragon from the frightening monsters of Western tales. The call is also in line with the push for cultural confidence to choose the preferred translation of the Mandarin word for a creature long respected in Chinese culture.

答案： 56. accurately 57. description 58. whose 59. as 60. possessions 61. created 62. be distinguished 63. a 64. predicting 65. to tell
