Ⅲ.完形填空
My mother has a unique way of embarrassing her children. Whenever she gets __1__ about something, she jumps up and down, screaming. We __2__ this as the "silly dance". As her daughter, I find this __3__ embarrassing. Anytime she goes into the silly dance, I will __4__ slowly away, smile awkwardly, and __5__ to people, "No, she's not my mother."
Even though my mother brought me much __6__ when I was little, and even though she __7__ does the silly dance when something goes her way, I now __8__ it. Because the silly dance shows just who she is, and it shows that she's happy. __9__ she didn't do her dance and just obeyed our wishes for "not __10__, Mom", she would compromise who she is.
I owe a lot of my __11__ for the theater to my mother. I now sing publicly like my mother does. And my friends are always doing that __12__ awkward smile and usually __13__ under their breath, "Carolyn, public."
So in many ways I'm becoming my mother. I'm not going to __14__ singing just because people feel embarrassed at it. I have no __15__ that I will embarrass my own children with my performance of the "silly dance". So what? That's who I am.
It's my __16__ that everyone should dance to the beat of her own drum, even if the guy next to you gives you a(n) __17__ look. I believe in the things that set us __18__. I believe in being myself, no matter how many awkward smiles I __19__. I believe in the idea that never __20__ who I am.
