to anyone near me. I__9__an old gentleman and said, "Sir, would you like a cookie? " He stopped and

It struck me.

D. school | | 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 I 2 the dining hall, all the eyes would
be fixed upon my bony figure. I would take my place at a table full of friends and 3 to enjoy a "normal"
lunch. The 4 was that I would not always eat lunch, and that greatly 5 my friends. They would watch
to make sure that I was eating properly, almost 6 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 almost 7 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. This 9 a huge
amount of stress from my life. It was still hard for me to eat in front of others, which is 10 for an
anorexic, but I was able to put some of my 11 aside.
I was thankful for the students at Riverview, but they knew me only as an anorexic. My friends cared
about my health, but they 12 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 I 14 was. They had no idea that I had been
an anorexic, so that a particular label (标签) did not 15 their opinions of me. I was finally 16 for my
talents and achievements, not my failures. I was honored as a good student. I was no longer afraid to
show my true 17 .
My days as an anorexic taught me many lessons that I would never 18 . They taught me about life
and how to be a better friend. I learned about the joy of 19 tasks such as eating lunch. I appreciated
the people who helped me to see that there is more 20 life than having an eating disorder. | ( ) 1. A. learning
