Question

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 I got when I was in high school.

The test was the final for a course. I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right handed out our papers one after another. It was a rather        test. I heard my classmates groaning (叹息), and I could tell by the groans that the scores weren’t looking good.

Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention , was my score, 55! I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see.“The scores were not very good, none of you     7    ,” Mr Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.”

A 55. That’s me!        my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.

I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My mother knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you do in your test?” “I got 55,” I said. A frown(皱眉) now stood on my mother’s face. I knew I had to         immediately. “But Mum, I had the highest score in the class,” I proudly stated (陈述). I thought that explanation would make a difference. “You failed!!” my mother replied. “But it’s the highest!” I insisted. “I don’t care what scores others had, you failed. What matters is what you do!” my mother firmly (坚定地) said.

For years, my mother was         in that way. It didn’t matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.

We often don’t understand the        of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’ shoes. My mother’s words have carried me throughout life.
