My family came to America in 1985.__
1__of us spoke a word of English. Each morning，I disliked going to school for fear of not __
2__what people were saying.
Very soon my mother noticed something was__
3__me.The pain and care I saw in her moonshaped eyes made me burst into tears. I explained to her the __
4__I had of going to school. “Learning English is not__
5__，” my mother said. She cheerfully __
6__the two of us work together to learn the language at home.The__
7__and determination my mother had were admirable because English was as __
8__ to her as it was to me.
That afternoon，I saw my mother in a different light as she __
9__me by the school fence. Although she was the__
10__of all the mothers there，her face with her welcoming smile and big，black eyes was the most __
11__.The afternoon sun shone__
12__on her long，black hair creating an atmosphere that __
13__ her from others.
My mother and I immediately began reading together and __
14__five new words a day. My mother，with her encouraging __
15__，made the routine fun and interesting. The fact that she was sacrificing her__
16__ time before going to work so that I could learn English made me see the __
17__she possessed. Very soon I began to comprehend what everyone was saying.
It has been seven years since that reading __
18__with my mother. She is now 43 and in her second year at college. My brother and I have a strong __
19__ of who we are because of the strong values my mother established for herself and her children.My__
20__and gratitude for her are endless. This is why my mother is truly the guiding light of my life.
