三、完形填空。(2014，温州)

　　It was a lovely spring afternoon.My classmates and I were playing happily on the playground when I let out a cry，“Ow!Ow!Something in my shoe is biting me.”

　　Everyone was shocked by the cry.They took me into a classroom and were about to take off my __26__.“Which foot is it?” one asked.“Let us have a look.”

　　Suddenly，I remembered the holes in __27__ socks.My family was very poor during those years.I wore welfare socks，which cost only a little，but those __28__ welfare socks didn't last long.They soon had __29__ at the bottom.

　　I refused to take off my shoe.I __30__ stand others seeing the holes in my sock.I tried to hold back my tears.Yet，each time the thing __31__ my shoe bit me，tears raced down my face.

　　My teacher，Miss Diane，hurried into the __32__，“What's wrong?” She asked.

　　“Something is biting her right foot，__33__ she doesn't let us take off her shoe，” one of my classmates answered.

　　Miss Diane lived next door to me.She __34__ everything about my family.She put both hands on my shaking shoulders and __35__ into my painful and hopeless eyes.

　　“Oh，yes，it must be a sock­eating ant，” she said，as if she had __36__ seen the thing inside the shoe.“I had a bite from one of those ants.By the time I got my shoe off，it had __37__ almost the whole bottom off my sock.” My classmates nodded while they were listening to the teacher __38__，although they all looked a little puzzled.

　　Miss Diane took off my right shoe and sock and shook them over the dustbin.Two red ants __39__ it.

　　“Just what I thought.The ants have eaten part of her sock.” When she stroked an alcohol cotton ball on the bites，she added，“You are such a __40__ girl to take so many bites.”

　　The alcohol felt cool on the bites and a little girl's pride was saved by the “sock­eating ant” story.
