When I walked into my daughter Ally's room, I noticed that her long hair was cut in short layers (层次) on top, sticking up like a naughty boy's. I could not __1__ her new appearance and wanted to make out what had happened.
I left her room and made a __2__ to my cousin. She is a hairdresser and it was she who __3__ Ally's hair. I knew there had to be an explanation for this __4__ hair style. I was told on the phone that my little Barbie doll (芭比娃娃) daughter had __5__ she didn't want to look like a Barbie any more. She printed a __6__ from the Internet, took it to my cousin without me knowing, and said,"This is __7__ I want." My cousin, of course, thought she got my __8__.
I went to Ally's room and __9__, "Honey, why did you want to do that to your __10__?" She looked up with tearfilled eyes and said,"I just want to make myself stand out, Mom. I want to feel __11__ like before in Texas."I hadn't ever considered the bad __12__ she was facing, but all at once I understood. We had moved the girl from Texas to Indiana during her middle school years, making her __13__ her best friends, and her school, where she was very __14__ and knew almost everyone. However, Ally wasn't __15__ to the new environment. I __16__ her and told her we were sure that she would have best friends here. Not long after, a pretty little girl __17__ big eyes showed up at our house. She was Jill, Ally's new friend. They had a lot in common, such as the haircut, the hobby and so on. Ally didn't feel __18__ any more.
I think that"Life was like a box of chocolates", because you __19__ know what you're going to get among them. You can't always eat your favorite chocolates. You have to __20__ what you may not like to make you appreciate your favorite ones.
