When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home. With my suitcase
(25) ____________ (pack) and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I’m leaving.”
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.” I threw sandwiches in my suitcase on the floor heavily and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “I want your clothes back. You didn’t wear anything when you (26) ________ (bear).” This really angered me. I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and shouted, “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered, “but
(27) ______ ______ you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry (28) ____________ I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out on the front porch (走廊). Suddenly I realized that I was outside, with (29) ____________ on. Then I noticed that down the street, two neighbor girls were walking nearer. I (30) ____________ run to hide behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was sure the girls had passed by.

The door inched open and revealed Mom’s (31) ____________ (smile) face. “Did you change your decision about running away?” she asked.
“What’s (32) ____________ supper?” I answered.
