请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I love spending weekends with my grandparents. I felt especially welcome and 36 in Grany’s small kitchen. It was there that we had conversations and Grany always seemed to include a bit of 37 with every recipe she prepared.

I remember one Saturday morning 38 . After breakfast I asked Grany, “What kind of soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered, “And you can help by chopping some carrots and celery.” As I slowly peeled carrots, I 39 , “I’ve got to give an oral work report next week and I’m 40 .”

Grany looked at me and said, “Most people are afraid of 41 speaking. But remember, the only thing you have to fear is fear 42 .”

“But I don’t like standing up in front of everybody. 43 I forget what I’m going to say?”

“Have you prepared 44 ?” asked Grany.

“Well, no. That would be a lot of 45 work.”

“But do you like my soup?” she asked. Soup? I wondered. I thought we were talking about my life.

“I love your soup, Grany.” I said.

“Well, you know, a lot of people don’t 46 homemade soup these days. They say it’s too much trouble. First you have to cook a nice broth（肉汤）and then chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces.”

“But I don’t 47 a little trouble,” she said. “It adds variety and flavor to my soup and to my life. My soup would be 48 bland（淡而无味的）without the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little 49 .”

After pausing she added, “Besides, you have to remember God knows exactly 50 he’s cooking up in your life. You’ve got to trust him with the recipe.” She smiled and then walked to the sink to start washing the dishes.

While I help Grany 51 , I thought as well what she had said. I still had a few days to 52 my oral report.

That Saturday, Grany gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. Every spoonful of Grany’s masterpiece was 53 with delicious bits of meat and vegetables. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents, 54 my problems didn’t seem quite so big any more. I was determined to work on them. Grany had said hard work 55 . Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grany’s homemade soup.
