When I was growing up, I always gave my mom an apron (围裙)on her birthday.I wanted my own mom —21that apron I'd just given her, of course —to22me at the end of each afternoon bearing a plate of home-baked23as she waited breathlessly to hear about my24day at school. Mom loved her family without question, but as an elementary-school teacher she had her own exciting days to25 .She had hardly any extra time and26, and home-baked treats were rare in our house except27very special occasions.Since Mom didn't make cookies very often, the28of her baking were not always the same.Sometimes the cookies were browned a little more than planned or29together and other times the cookies weren't smooth.30, none of that bothered anyone in the family.All we31was swallowing whatever we were having for dinner that night so we could get to the cookies32us on the kitchen counter. Now that I'm a mom myself, I can33all too well why my mother didn't always have the time to wear the apron.As was true with my mother, the list of things I need to do is often34than the day itself.But I also understand the desire to35the same yellow mixing bowl my mother used and make something special for my family every so often.Whatever I bake is met with approval, appreciation and good36by my husband and children.At some level, I believe they're37that I was thinking about them as I38the brown sugar into the butter or frosted the cake with their favorite kind of icing.They always know I love them.I39they know it a little better when I'm in a baking mood. I'm sure my mother felt40the same way whenever she made cookies for us.Those cookies will always, in my mind, be the best treat. 小题1: | A.wearing | B.holding | C.taking | D.throwing |
