When 9-year-old Alice asked me, “Mom, do I have to brush my hair today?” I didn’t know how to answer. On the one hand, it’s good to have pride in our ____1____. And hair-brushing does not take a lot of effort. ____2____ on the other hand, I was happy that my daughter paid little attention to the way her hair looked, how she ____3____, or what people thought about her. In Alice’s world, brushing her hair was ____4____ and she would just do it as ____5____ as possible. I knew back then that those feelings would not last a long time.
Five years later, at age 14, Alice ____6____ her physical appearance. Hair has to be brushed, makeup used and clothes changed many times before we can even think about leaving the house. My confident teen worries about whether her nail (指甲) color ____7____ her shirt or if she looks “stupid” in the very same clothes she says she loved the day before. With shame, it ____8____ my mind that I somehow raised a looks-obsessed child, focusing on things that are ____9____
We have talked about in detail how looks don’t mater and that being a good, kind , ____10____ person in this world is way more important than looking good. Each time we have this ____11____, Alice tells me that she knows that technically looks aren’t important. But when she looks good on the outside she feels more confident on the inside. ____12____, that makes her a kinder, more caring and more understanding person. I certainly can’t argue with such ____13____ teenage thinking!
And just as she learned over the years that often brushing hair is probably a good idea, ____14____ she will learn that sometimes it’s okay to go out in a less-than-perfect coat or without ____15____. Somewhere deep down, her freewheeling (随心所欲的) 9-year-old self still knows that.

About a month ago I noticed something really amazing, which I must call a garden miracle (奇迹). It so happened that when I ___76___ the double doors of a small storage area in the back of my house where I  ___77___ my garden supplies during the long, severe New England winter. I found, in one of the dirt-filled pots, a living, growing plant, topped with two of the most unlikely pink ___78___ you’ve ever seen.
How was this ___79___ ? The unheated space had been closed all winter, and it was still cold outside. Once I caught my breath, I ___80___ and discovered something approaching a reasonable explanation-there was a small glass window at the top of the double doors, and it was possible that a ray of sun fell directly on that pot, giving the plant just enough light and warmth to ___81___ it to grow in its own personal greenhouse.
I can’t help feeling ___82___ at the lessons this wonderful plant has to teach.
For one thing. I am moved by the happenstance (巧合) of the whole thing. If I had ___83___ my pot six inches to the left or right of that spot, the plant might not have gotten that ___84___ ray of light. If I had ____85____ the roots of the plant in late fall, there would have been nothing but dirt in that pot.
But there’s something else that ____86____ me about this-just how little light and ____87____ it took for this plant to grow and flower. I’m not ____88____ we should be mean with love and kindness and all the other warming things we ____89____ for others and for ourselves. But isn’t it comforting to think that just a drop of ____90____ can brighten a day, a place, a life?
When it comes to positivity, a little goes a long way. Just ask my little miracle plant.
