完形填空

Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.

A girl named Jenny once told me about her 16 in the world of Lose-Win during her eighth-grade year before she finally broke 17 :

My 18 with my mom all started one day 19 she said to me sarcastically (讽刺地) “Wow, you’re surely lively today.” I 20 it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close off from her and never 21 back to her. So every time she would say something 22 I disagreed with her I would just say. “Okay, 23 you want, Mom.” But I really got cold quickly. And my 24 began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s 25 ” and then went back to mop the floor.

“Don’t you ever 26 ?” I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was 27 upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I 28 her how important it was to me.

At last I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to 29 . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s 30 than if fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a 31 to her.

After my blow up, we felt like we were 32 all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always 33 my feelings with her.
