What's it like to have a gap between your teeth? a girl asked me one day.
Nobody had ever _. 36 _ before. My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth. But, as she looked at me, sincerely waiting for 37 , 1 realized she was not trying to be rude. I never think about it, I truthfully replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if people _38 me and saw only gappy teeth.
Later that day at home, I began to 39 my teeth again. I felt upset. I thought my life would be somehow better if my teeth were not gappy. How I wanted the perfect teeth that everyone else seemed to have!
Of course, Mom 40 everything . She has lived her entire life with gappy teeth, and tried to convince me that there was nothing to 41 . When I refused to listen, she told me I could get the surgery to close the gap if it was that important. Let's be 42 , though, she said. If everyone got surgeries to bee pretty, everyone would be exactly the same. There is beauty in differences.
Her 43__ made me consider my teeth seriously. The thought of losing my gap was more terrible than the reality that people were going to notice it. I realized how important it was to me. It is part of my 44 _.
Nowadays many people do ridiculous things to realize their dream of perfection. The__45_ is that no one is perfect. When all potential for ugliness is removed, so is all of the potential for 46 .
So if that girl ever asked about my teeth 47 , I would truthfully answer. You know? It's really cute.

(答案→)C
解析：本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了我和妈妈对于自己牙齿缝隙不同看法的一则小故事。
【小题1】从前没有人这么“问过”。指上文的问题。
【小题2】小女孩问完之后，看着我，正真诚地等我“回答”。
【小题3】本题干扰选项难排除。重点把握文中and逻辑，空格和saw必定有关，答案looked at；句意为：只剩下我一个人在那里想，是否有人看我时只注意到我的豁牙子呢？look at指看的动作；see指看的结果。
【小题4】因后有again提示，故往前搜索，会发现对应wondering解题，答案consider为最佳；
【小题5】妈妈“注意到”了这一切。这里指妈妈发现了我的变化。
【小题6】她想让我相信长个豁牙子没有什么可担忧的
【小题7】让我们诚实点。这里指不必刻意地追求美，有个豁牙子没什么，不必掩饰，要诚实点。
【小题8】这里指上一段妈妈说的话。
【小题9】它是我独特性的一部分。长个豁牙子正显示了我的独特。
【小题10】事实上没有人是完美的。“事实真相”相当于their dream of “perfection”而言。
【小题11】答案为beauty。有however，为转折逻辑。解题关键是要认识ugliness。一旦失去了丑的可能，美的可能也会失去。此处beauty和ugliness是对立的概念。
【小题12】asked about之前出现过，因而答案为again；文章开头提到小女孩问问题，所以这里说如果这个小女孩“再次”问的话，我会如实回答。
