Ⅰ. 完形填空

　　When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤儿院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects.

　　I remember my first project-a small table. I was so ___1___ of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an) ___2___ . It was ly beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to ____3____it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a ___4___. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always ___5___ with us.

　　As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so ___6___and happy that I couldn't wait. I dashed out like a ____7____ , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.

　　When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was ___8___it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand ___9___ it, she noticed that it was still wet.

　　"Were you ____10____to bring this home?" she asked.

　　"No, ma'am," I ___11___ with my head down.

She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was ___12___stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
