完形填空

As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down．I was rebellious(反叛的)on the outside, 1 on the inside I wanted people to 2 me．

Once I left home to hitchhike(搭便车)to California with my friend Penelope．The trip wasn’t 3, and there were many times I didn’t feel safe．One situation in particular 4 me grateful to still be alive．When I returned home, I was different－not so outwardly sure of myself．

I was happy to be home．But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 5 with us, was wearing my clothes．And my 6 seemed to like her better than me．I wondered if I would be 7 if I weren’t there．I told my mom, and she explained that 8 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 9 me．I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been．” My mom said these were wonderful 10, but I was the only person who could fill my 11．She made me realize that even with my 12,－and they were many－I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced．

I became a searcher, 13 who I was and what made me unique(独特的)．My 14 of myself was changing．I wanted a solid base to start from．I started to resist(抵制)pressure to 15 in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I 16 who I really was．I came to feel much more 17 that no one can ever take my place．

Each of us 18 a unique place in the world．You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think．So 19 about being replaced．You 20 be．
