When I was just fourteen, I watched my mother age ten years in a hospital room. It was a rare disease. Although I had seen my mother bear many crosses in her life, I had never seen her face look so tired and hopeless. For my mother, though, this disease was more than another cross to bear. Through the glass walls of my hospital room I could see the doctor and my mother. As the doctor started talking, my mother's tears started streaming down her face. When she walked into my hospital room again, her eyes pleadingly stared at the doctor. She wanted me, the youngest of her daughters, to know—I had that right—but she just couldn't be the one to tell me.
The doctor told me of the incredible pain I would suffer, the weight I would lose and all the hair that would fall out. The doctors would try their best, but that was no guarantee of success. There was the very good chance that I would never turn fifteen.
Three weeks later, on the morning I was to be released from the hospital, my mother brought me my favorite jeans. When I pulled up the jeans and buttoned them, I could tell right away that they were not mine. They couldn't be, because they fell off the once rounded body they used to hug so nicely. I screamed at my mother as though it were her fault. “You brought the wrong jeans! These are too big!” My mother just walked out of the room and went out to the nurse's station, returning immediately with two safety pins. When I looked over at my mother, her eyes boring into(盯着) mine, I realized that I had to pin my pants. Without saying a word, she was telling me: No matter how much you cry, the jeans are not going to fit right. You are sick. Your body is not the same. You have to accept this. It was then that I learned to give in to my mother, and to a force larger than myself—a force I could not see, or hear, or touch, but a force that had taken control of my life.

Paragraph 2:
My mother and I didn't cry tears of joy. ____________

答案： With time going by, my weight fell to eighty pounds, and my mother matched me. Pound for pound, she lost her weight. And yet, it was her strength that jump - started my will to make my frail body walk instead of riding in a wheelchair. It was her strength that helped me go through the regular painful treatments. More than a year went by when the doctor called my mother and me into his office after the last treatment. We didn't know what to expect. Somehow, though, we knew we didn't need to expect the worst. He told us, essentially, that I got better.
My mother and I didn't cry tears of joy. We just smiled and held each other's hands tightly. The doctor was only telling us something that we already knew: I was not going to die. I eventually slipped into the normalness of everyday life surrounded by my mother and my sisters. And my mother and I, in the face of my illness, discovered a special way of being together.
