   “Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle (婴儿包) was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped--the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance.

One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms, he cried out bitterly,“A boy, a big boy…called me-a f... freak.” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks.

He grew up,handsome for his misfortune.A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that.He developed a gift for literature and music.

The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor.Could nothing be done? “I believe we could graft (移植) on a pair of outer ears,if they could be donated (捐献) ,” the doctor decided.So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice (牺牲) for a young man.Two years went by.Then, “You’re going to the hospital,son.Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need.But it’s a secret.” said the father.

        The operation was a brilliant success.His talents blossomed into genius.School and college became a series of successes.Later he married and entered the diplomatic (外交) service.“But I must know!” he urged his father.“Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.”

“I do not believe you could,” said the father,“but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did come...one of the darkest days that ever passed through a son.He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材).Slowly and tenderly,the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick,reddish-brown hair to let out the secret.

阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答卷标号为51-60 的相应位置上。

Most students do an IQ text early in their school career. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is what   51   (determine) how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing   52   (good) than them, they usually believe that those students have   53   higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts.   54  , new research into EQ suggests that success is not   55   (simple) result of a high IQ.

While your IQ tells you how   56   (intelligence) you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovery,   57   invented the term EQ, gives the following description: at work, it is IQ   58    gets you promoted (晋升).   59   (support) by his academic research, Professor Salovery suggests that when predicting someone’s future success, their character,   60   is measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.
