As Mom's disease progressed, the ways I had disappointed her disappeared from her consciousness, and our struggles over my healthy life choices that differed from hers effortlessly ended.In her “now，” I was her kind, loving companion.My faithful presence was all that mattered to her; and for the first time in my life, I felt wholeheartedly accepted by my mom just exactly as I am.The wounds from the past began to heal in the arms of a mother who loved me in the present.For our relationship to truly heal, my acceptance of Mom was also essential.Having learned about the process of decline determined by Alzheimer's, I acknowledged her limitations.I let go of expecting her to be the mother I had always wanted, and accepted the mother wholeheartedly she now was.After doing this, I noticed that she had, in many ways, become the mother I needed.Because I didn't expect, demand, or want Mom to be anyone other than who she was at each moment, she became the one person who could never let me down.I gratefully received whatever she offered, not asking for more.From this viewpoint, I realized just how much Mom was still able to give including important things a daughter needs from her mother.For example, I trusted that she would be available to me (she was living in a secure memory care unit) whenever I was sad or stressed and needed a hug from my Mom.She was always happy to see me.Always.And she let me know that I was appreciated through looks, smiles, touches, and sounds.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2请按如下格式作答。Perhaps Mom lacked the ability to intentionally mother me in these ways.I also believe she couldn't possibly enjoy the excitement and laughs on her own.一、单词拼写1.concept2.appropriate3.damp4.essential5.appetite6.delicate7.estimated8.plain9.Dynasty10.edge二、选词填空1.in particular2.fall apart3.let it loose4.hit the spot5.appeals to三、阅读理解1.B细节理解题。第一段提到， 公众普遍认为每天至少喝八杯水能提高健康水平， 但实际上这是个错误的想法。科学家说没有证据来证明每天喝八杯水对健康有好处。所以每天至少喝八杯水能提高健康水平是被人们误解了。2.D细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“However, the benefits of drinking some water to prevent a pain in head after drinking too much alcohol are separately, proved to be true.”可知，多喝水可以减少饮酒的不良影响。3.C写作意图题。第一段提到， 科学家指出， 喝水不像人们认为的那样对健康有好处。最后一段又强调没有明确的证据表明喝水对皮肤有好处。故作者写这篇文章的目的是告诉人们喝大量的水未必像人们认为的那样对健康有好处。四、读后续写Perhaps Mom lacked the ability to intentionally mother me in these ways. However, I, in turn, received such comfort, protection and love that only a mother could give.We watched TV together; we had a program from my childhood that she also liked to watch but this time it was as if our roles were reversed I understood everything and she rejoiced every time I did.Every time I laughed or cried she squeezed my hand or gave me a kiss on the cheek.She was just so happy to share in the experience.I also believe she couldn't possibly enjoy the excitement and laughs on her own. But how I wish Mom could speak.“Gracie is such a silly girl，” I laughed and Mom squeezed my hand and smiled.“Falling down ditches and getting in trouble with the boys，” I cried, rubbing Mom's nose and receiving a Gracie laugh in return.All done with gentleness, compassion, and reverence for the complete trust of me that was reflected in her eyes.I'm not sure which one of us was healed more by what felt like an experience of “mutual mothering”第11页（共11页）
