Ⅱ. 完形填空
My mother used to say that when your mother was really good at something, you didn't learn to do it. What she said was 1. My grandmother was skilled in baking and cooking, but my mother was a barely 2 cook for our family of seven. We didn't 3; we had meat, potatoes and another vegetable at every meal out of a can.
Baking was not Mum's 4, so on Saturday mornings, she would 5 us to the bakery for fresh cake. Mum did learn to make the 6 Dad loved — bacon and eggs, spare ribs (排骨) and, 7, potato salad. Potato salad was my mum's major 8 to every summer, although eating such a dish on a hot July day wasn't a (n) 9 idea. Mayonnaise (蛋黄酱) in it could be difficult to 10 and you might have to go to the bathroom frequently.
Case in point: the time my uncle and aunt and their six kids 11 at the lake with us. The 12 included burgers, burnt or slightly raw, lots of pop, and Mum's potato salad. We spent hours at the lake. Unfortunately, so did the salad.
13, I realise that polishing off Mum's potato salad may have been the reason that Dad finally built us a second bathroom, which 14 that everything can have a bright side. My mother didn't 15 in the kitchen, but I miss her cooking so much.
