2 . The bond between mother and daughter is irreplaceable. One of the most famous women scientists of the 20th century, Marie Curie, worked _______ her daughter Irene in the field of radioactivity（放射性）, each of them _______ earning their own Nobel Prize. Today, there are more _______ mother-and-daughter pairs showing what happens when _______ works together.

In April 2020, Dr. Cynthia Kudji and her daughter Dr. Jasmine Kudji have become the first mother and daughter to _______ from the medical school at the same time and be placed in the same hospital. Cynthia Kudji put her dream of becoming a _______ on hold when she became pregnant at 23. She worked as a nurse for almost a decade _________ making the decision to attend the medical school at the University of Medicine and Health Sciences. _______, her daughter Jasmine attended Louisiana State University School of medicine.

At first, it was _______ for them to live and study so far apart from one another. “I thought initially it was hard because my mom and I had always been really ________ so I had to get used to the ________,” Dr. Jasmine Kudji explains to Afro Tech. Although the experience was difficult, it also had ________ results. “Sometimes people struggle to find someone who ________ their struggles, so for that person to be my mom was extremely helpful,” she adds.

After years apart, both Cynthia and her daughter earned their M. D. degree. Then on “Match Day” when recent med school graduates ________ the results of their residency (高级专科住院生实习期) applications, Cynthia and Jasmine learned that they were ________ in the same hospital.

This pair of mother and daughter proves that family can do anything together.

4 . For the past ten years, my dad and I have attended the same school — he as an administrator and I as a student. Our relationship, in and out of school, has been totally unpredictable.

When I was younger, all that my dad said was doctrine (信条) and anything he did I, ___________, copied. We played games together, and stayed up late reading bedtime stories. I could ___________ my dad taking me to school, running into him regularly during the day and riding home with him every afternoon.

As I grew older, we were not as ___________ as we used to be. He wasn’t cool any more. He wore his socks too high, listened to horrible country music and laughed too loudly in front of my friends. He became a total embarrassment.

However, the ___________ that occurred in school were even worse. The worst one happened in seventh grade. My dad came to our New Year party, dressed up as Donald Duck, guitar in hand, singing silly songs. Just kill me! I wanted to run away.

This ___________ continued into high school but we somehow began to find a balance. Things started to _________ around the time of my 10th-grade physics project. The ___________ was to build a wood bridge with the best strength-to-weight ratio (比率). All the students and physics teachers ___________. So did my dad, the only administrator! Embarrassed as usual, I ___________ the scene. However, later when I learned from my friends that my dad ______________ all competitors and won everyone’s admiration, I found that mixed in with my ______________ was a touch of pride.

I had needed someone else to show me what I ______________ in my dad. It wasn’t the fact that he’d won, it was more than that. I began to ______________ that we have many of the same values and sometimes the same opinions. No matter how much I had tried to ______________ him, he still influenced me.

I feel fortunate to have such an unusual father. The ______________ I have developed with my dad over the years has enabled me to look back and see how I’ve grown.

6 . Never criticize someone until you have walked in a mile in their shoes. During the past 25 years, I’ve often found that the saying has helped me see _________ from a different view.

Once I was on my way to a party with several _________ . As we were leaving the office, we met another one, Wendy, who had _________ planned to attend the event. We asked her to go together, but she _________ our invitation rudely. The others were quite annoyed and clearly _________ with Wendy’s behavior.

_________ how tired Wendy appeared, I commented that perhaps we should pardon her. She was obviously having a _________ day, and it wasn’t worth holding a grudge (恶意) against her if we weren’t _________ of what led to her unusual behavior. A week later, I _________ that Wendy had a serious illness. Wendy wasn’t being rude to us __________ .

Whether it’s a family member who let me __________ , a friend who doesn’t keep his __________ , or a difficult workmate, the saying __________ me. Although it’s not always easy to __________ , I’ve been able to get rid of a lot of __________ over the years by focusing on it.

7 . About five years ago my family moved to Iowa and I started going to a new school. I was a little _______, but I worried I would never be _______ than the other eleventh graders. Lucy, a girl in my class was not_______for the change. I thought she didn’t_______me from the start. In fact, I was sure that she hated me. When I asked her a _______, she answered me impatiently as if I was a total fool. My teacher made us_______next to each other in the last semester. Lucy didn’t like that _______. I didn’t wear make-up (化妆), and I didn’t wear those awesome (可怕的) jeans everyone else was wearing. I didn’t exactly_______ the coolest girl. However, I kept smiling at her, _______ she rolled her eyes at me (翻白眼). I kept telling her she looked ________, even if she was angry. ________, Lucy let me talk to her, even in front of her "cool" friends. She started ________ me how beautiful I looked. I still remember the first time when she________ at me saying that, and I smiled right back, telling her a joke. Lucy ________ me to her house for parties, and talked to me all the time. Lucy, the girl who had ________ me, called me her best friend. I will never forget a sentence written by Abraham Lincoln: "Am I not destroying (消灭) my enemies when I make friends of them?"

8 . At an airport I overheard a father and a daughter in their last moments together. It had announced her plane's________ and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, “I love you.

He walked over toward the window where I ________. I could see he wanted to cry.

Saying that brought________ memories I had of expressing my love and ________ for all my Dad had done for me. After thirty seconds of silence. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a/an   forever good-bye?" I asked. “I am old and she lives much too far away. The _______ is that her next trip back will be for my funeral(葬礼), ” he said. “When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, "I wish you enough” May I ask what that means?" He began to ________.

“That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My ________used to say it to everyone. ” He paused for a moment and _______ as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more. “When we said I wish you enough, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to support them," he continued and then turning toward me he shared the following as if he were reciting it from ________.

“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude________. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger . I wish you enough gain to ________your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you have. I wish enough Hellos to get you through the final “ Good-bye.” He then began to sob and walked away.

10 . One month ago my kind grandmother, Nonie, was put into hospice（临终安养院）. This was as much a （n） _________ as anything, since it _________ her to go home with what she needed, rather than being _________ in the hospital.

My trip was a ____________ one, but I got to spend a full day and a half ____________ next to her and asking her questions. Some questions got more ____________ answers.

My grandpa got dementia(痴呆),and he almost____________ everything slowly. ____________, for years he still remembered Nonie. He died two years ago, and Nonie told me she'd been asking the Lord to take her ever since.
