At first, my 1 made me feel self-conscious and 2 to smile. The money I had to 3 each month made me less willing to spend money on other things, like nice dinners or a new pair of jeans. And because I went to 4 out of state, I had to find the time to drive several hundred miles back home every time I needed a(n) 5 in hospital, which was usually every 6 to 8 weeks. I got my braces off for the 6 time at the beginning of my last semester of college. I was 7 with the results, although I thought I liked my smile better after the first time I had got them off. Through this experience, I learned that you can 8 find something about your appearance that you dont like. If you can 9 it, cool. If not, its not the end of- the world. Once I got over the fact that my 10 was going to be a little rough for a while, I was able to go to parties and have fun. Ive come to that realization, so I would not like to go through this experience again. Thats why my retainer(牙架) 11 in my mouth unless Im cleaning it or eating. If I had 12 my dentists instructions the first time around, I could have saved myself a lot of time and money and 13 some pain and inconvenience. In a few more weeks, Ill 14 have to wear my retainer at night. A few months after that, Ill probably be told that I can stop wearing it 15 . I hope my teeth will be healthy and I will never feel embarrassed again. 1. A. teeth B. shoes C. braces D. glasses 2. A. unable B. willing C. convenient D. unwilling 3.
