完形填空练习（二十一）
I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the 1 celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not 2 much from the war where, though, like most children of my age, I often saw 3 houses in the streets and the very big 4 lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become 5 to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously, 6 had been better, though I was too young to understand why, 7 there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had 8 heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very 9 to me. I did not remember what London was like.
What I remember now 10 V-Day was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting 11 and building an enormous bonfire. We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and 12 myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.
