阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
My childhood left half a year ago on a ship to Australia.
It was a    41    day when my baby cousins moved away. My cousins were a fundamental part of my life;    42    they were not with me, they were on my mind. They brought back the untroubled days of my childhood,    43    games, adventures and silliness, but they also helped    44    me from an at-times selfish teenager into a responsible adult.
My aunt and uncle moved here from Huston with their 1-year-old daughter Yasmeen. They lived in an apartment on the side of our house and I was    45   to have our family, especially a baby girl, so close to us. Yasmeen had close friendships with each of my sisters, but I knew the one that    46    between us was the strongest. As she began to walk on her own and talk in full sentences, I realized my great    47    upon her. I noticed that she’d    48    some of my unpleasant actions,    49    with her mother after I had done the same. Yasmeen made me realize what being a good    50    really was.
When Maya was born, Yasmeen had a hard time    51   . She was jealous（妒忌的）of the attention we all paid to her new younger sister, so I did my best to keep her company when she might have not been      52   . Once Yasmeen overcame her jealousy, she was able to    53    Maya’s presence, like we all did. I tried to take advantage of our times together, doing my best to    54    my schedule for my two favorite people.
My    55    with Yasmeen and Maya has taught me the importance of influential people. I know that I have helped Yasmeen and Maya    56  , but “the babies” have had an even greater influence on my own life. They have shown me how to be a parent, a sister, a child, and most importantly, a friend. Our    57    has made me a better person — a more patient person, with the ability to    58    endless questions and spilled (洒) juice; an    59    person, able to have fun and be happy with others; a role model,    60    the babies ideas about right and wrong, and a compassionate person, able to forgive and love.
