Question

good know cover always pass kind difficult high explain fail

Do you still remember the scores in your past exams? 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 remembered waiting anxiously (焦慮地) as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather 1.___________ test. I heard my classmates groaning (嘆息), 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, was my score, 55! I lowered my head, and 2.___________ 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 3.____________,” Mr. Right said. “The4.____________ score in the class was a 55.”

A 55? That’s me! I didn’t feel so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot 5.____________.

I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My mother6.___________ 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 made a 55,” I said. A frown (皺眉) now stood on my mother’s face. I knew I had to 7.___________ at once. “But Mum, I had the highest score in the class,” I proudly said. I thought that explanation would make a difference. “You 8.___________!” my mother replied. “But it’s the highest!” I insisted (堅持). “I don’t care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!” my mother firmly said.

For years, my mother was 9.__________ 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 10.___________ of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents’ shoes. My mother’s words have helped me throughout life.
