完形填空

My mum is in the Philippines．

When she first flew off, I felt 1 at least I could play “Madden” for a couple of hours more than 2, or wait a few days before I clean my room!3 did I know that I would be in for a month long struggle for survival while she was away．

OK．I’m exaggerating(夸张)．She 4 lots of food and money to make sure I don’t starve．But starving is the least of my worries．My 5 is the everyday tasks around the house——doing the laundry．sweeping the floors and 6 the room, which don’t seem too difficult 7 Mum is away．

After I did the laundry and vacuumed(用吸尘器清洁)my room, l finally got to 8．

“Wow, so this is what Mum means when she says she’s tired 9 cleaning the house, ” I said to myself．

And I wasn’t even finished．My mum usually 10 me to dust my room every weekend．Because she’s been gone, it almost 11 my mind．Now I’m left 12 big piles of dust, not just in my room 13 around the rest of the house．It’s not that my mum has magical powers 14 make house work easier．It’s that she knows and remembers 15 to do those things．

Yes, mums can nag(唠叨)and mums can 16 children．But here’s a case in which this old saying holds 17：“You don’t know what you have until it’s 18．” So if your mum isn’t on 19, give her a hug right now and 20 her for making life easier．
