Before summer vacation, I made a long list of things I wished to do. And I could hardly wait to begin a new journey. 1 when my mom told me that I had to live with my Grandpa for six weeks, I complained. A voice inside me said that it would be terrible to live with Grandpa,which meant no afternoon 2 games with my friends!
The first week with Grandpa seemed to be 3 . We just went out for dinner and watched TV together. One day, Grandpa was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. I flipped(快速翻动) through my baseball card collection. “Wish I had a Hank Aaron card,” I said to myself. When Grandpa heard me, he said 4 , “I didn't know you liked baseball, Susan!” I explained that it was my favorite sport and I 5 played it all summer with my friends. Grandpa stood up shakily and walked to the door. “ Let's go,” he said 6 . “I want to show you something!”
We drove for quite a while, and when Grandpa finally stopped the car, we were in front of some old 7 . A sign said “Land Will Be Sold. Call for Details.” I noticed that Grandpa had a faraway look in his eyes. “I haven't been here for a long time, probably twenty or thirty8 .” He said, “That's the field where I 9 play baseball every summer.” Then I 10 where we were: This was the house where Grandpa grew up! We looked inside a window and saw a big 11 — No one had lived here for a long time!
On the ride home, Grandpa was very 12 . I thought about how he must 13 his old home and friends. He would feel very happy and less lonely 14 he could just go back in time for a few minutes. Then I realized that six weeks away from home would be 15 , especially with Grandpa around.
