“Mommy, I got something for you!” Cody ran through the door after school. His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. “It’s a pen. But not just any pen. It’s a lucky pen!” He handed me the pen 16 , waiting for my reaction(反应).
I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing 17 about it. It looked just
like any other ballpoint pen. I had a drawer full of them. At that moment, I didn’t realize how special it was or how much I would come to treasure(珍爱) it.
I had made the decision to be a(n) 18 . I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishing houses. The night before, I told my husband my 19 when I thought Cody wasn’t listening. “What if 20 likes my writing and I fail?” But Cody did 21 what I said. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. “You don’t have to be afraid now,” he said. “This pen will make your 22 great and everyone will love you.”
Tears filled my eyes. Refusal(拒绝) and failure didn’t seem like such a big problem any more. Even if I
23 sold the first book, I had everything I could ever need. I knew that pen would bring me luck, though. And I felt 24 already, just by having Cody in my life, especially when I heard what he did to get it.

In the end, he 27 his favorite Matchbox car, two army men his brother gave him, a crayon, and a piece of candy-his most important things, for that pen. Just to make 28 feel better.
I still have that pen, though it’s long out of ink, in a cup on my desk. When a refusal letter arrives and I start feeling 29 , I look at it and remember just how lucky I am. For while I value that pen, it’s Cody who I really 30 in my life. 16．A. easily B. carefully C. proudly D. naturally 17．A. strange B. special C. important D. interesting 18．A. teacher B. artist C. writer D. inventor 19．A. fear B. hope C. secret D. surprise 20．A. somebody B. everybody C. anybody D. nobody 21．A. hear B. accept C. expect D. believe 22．A. life B. dream C. stories D. choices 23．A. ever B. never C. even D. once 24．A. sure B. lucky C. brave D. proud
