完形填空
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that I struggled with for most of my middle school years and a
part of my high school years.
At Riverview,1 was usually a nightmare (噩梦) for me. As I2 the dining hall, all the eyes would
be fixed upon my bony figure. I would take my place at a table full of friends and3 to enjoy a 'normal'
lunch. The4 was that I would not always eat lunch, and that greatly5 my friends. They would watch
to make sure that I was eating properly, almost6 food into my mouth.
And then, I transferred to Madison High School. I decided not to tell anyone at that school about my
eating disorder since I had almost7 by that time. Strangely, I stopped fearing lunch when I started at
Madison. No one knew that I had an eating disorder,8 they did not care what I ate. This9 a huge
amount of stress from my life. It was still hard for me to eat in front of others, which is10 for an
anorexic, but I was able to put some of my11 aside.
I was thankful for the students at Riverview, but they knew me only as an anorexic. My friends cared
about my health, but they12 to care about me as a person. Truthfully, all I wanted was for them to
13 me and not to fix on my eating disorder.
The students at Madison took the time to know who I14 was. They had no idea that I had been
an anorexic, so that a particular label (标签) did not15 their opinions of me. I was finally16 for my
talents and achievements, not my failures. I was honored as a good student. I was no longer afraid to
show my true17.
My days as an anorexic taught me many lessons that I would never18. They taught me about life
and how to be a better friend. I learned about the joy of19 tasks such as eating lunch. I appreciated
the people who helped me to see that there is more20 life than having an eating disorder.
