3．Every year when Mother's Day cards show up in the stores，I remember my mother．She never cared much for （46）A．I could just send a card or give her a call，and she'd be very happy．
A few months later after her death，I was in a store（47）Bout a Mother's Day card when suddenly I realized I had（48）A one to send it to．
Each Mother's Day，I choose a different theme （主题） to remember her．This time，it's some of the things she said．For example：
When I asked her not to send my（49）C brother to a boarding school，she said，"They'll teach him to read Braille （盲文）．（50）A he wants to have a life，he has to learn to read．"
When I（51）C that she ought to get a life，she replied，"I work five days a（52）C，clean my house on Saturday，go to church on Sunday．I don't need a 1ife．I need help．"
When we fell on hard times，she said，"Life is a （53）A．Sometimes you give，other times you take．Either way，it's al1 the same one．But try to remember how hard it is to take，because one day，you will do the giving．'"
My mother was rea1ly a（54）B woman．I remember my mother．And some day，when I'm gone，I hope my children will remember me．
But in the meantime，I'll be（55）Bto get a card or answer a phone call．
