I used to be ashamed of my grandma. I know that’s a terrible thing to say, but it was true until today, so I have to    16    it.
The    17    started when my friend Katy found Grandma’s false teeth floating in a glass on the bathroom sink. I was so used to seeing them that I    18    took notice of them. But Katy shouted, laughing and    19    to talk to them. I had to get down on my knees and    20    her to shut up so my grandma wouldn’t hear and get hurt.
After that happened, I    21    there were a million things about Grandma that were embarrassing.
Once she took my brother Jill and me out to Burger King.   22    ordering our hamburgers well-done, she told the person behind the counter, “They’ll have two Whoppers (巨无霸) well-to-do. ” Jill burst out laughing, but I almost    23    .
After a while, I started wishing I could    24    Grandma in a closet. I even complained to my parents. Both my parents said I had to be careful not to make Grandma feel    25   in our home.
Then last Wednesday, something happened that    26   everything completely. My teacher told us to help find interesting old people and _   27    them about their lives for a big Oral History project. I was trying to think of someone when Angie pushed me gently.
“Volunteer（举荐）your grandmother,” she whispered. “She’s    28    and rich in experience.”
That was the last thing I ever thought Angie would say about my grandma.
This is how I ended up on    29    today interviewing my own grandmother before the whole school assembly. All my friends and teachers were listening to her as if she was a great heroine. I was proud of my grandma and hoped she would                         30   _ know that I had been ashamed of her.
