完形填空。                                                            You Can"t Be Replaced
     As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious (叛逆的) on the outside,      1  
on the inside I wanted people to   2    me.
    Once I left home to hitchhike (搭便车) to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn"t     3   and
there were many times I didn"t feel safe. One situation in particular left me    4   for still being alive. When I
returned home, I was different -not so outwardly (外表上) sure of myself.
    I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was   5  with us, was wearing my clothes. And my      6    seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be    7   if I weren"t there.
     I told my mom, and she explained that   8    Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could    9   me. I pointed out, "She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been." My mom said these were wonderful    10    
but I was the only person who could fill my  11 . She made me realize that even with my    12  , -and they
were many-I was a loved member of the family who couldn"t be replaced.
     I became a searcher,    13  who I was and what made me unique. My    14    of myself was changing. I
wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist pressure to    15    in ways that I didn"t like any more,
and I     16  who I really was. I came to feel much more    17    that no one can ever take my place.
    Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are   18   no matter what others say or what you may
think. So   19   about being replaced. You   20     be.
