In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my 21 , it was the same score.
Later that evening, I _22 _ told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our _23_ much better than an IQ test. We 24 that Michael’s score must have been a _25 and we should treat him __26___ as usual.
We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got 27 grades in the school, especially 28 biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.
Michael _29_ Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than _30_ . In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.
On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I 31 the ceremony at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the _ 32_ IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say _33 , “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the _34 _ we had in him.
Interestingly, Michael then _35 _ another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had _36 _ the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be _37 _ .
Children often do as _38 _ as what adults, particularly parents and teachers, _39_ of them. That is, tell a child he is “ _40_”, and he may play the role of a foolish child.

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not   36__   with life, I was down. A young boy out of breath   37  me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted（倾斜的） down,   38   with great excitement, “Look what I found!”
In his hand was a flower, and what a   39   sight, with its petals（花瓣） all worn－not enough rain, or too little light.   40   him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I   41  a small smile and then shifted away.

One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 21 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole — such as child-centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils — there have been several serious 22 which have a direct effect on language teaching.
The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 23 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.
Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 24 that the most able groups are 25 and are bored while the least able are lost and 26 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.
Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 27 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have 28 it a few years later. Because they never need it, they do not practice it.
Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 29 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 30 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.
21. A. Due to          B. In addition to     C. Instead of          D. In spite of
22. A. errors           B. situations        C. systems           D. methods
23. A. vocabulary       B. culture           C. grammar           D. literature
24. A. wide             B. similar           C. separate                D. unique
25. A. kept out               B. turned down      C. held back          D. left behind
26. A. surprisingly      B. individually       C. equally           D. hardly
27. A. extra            B. traditional        C. basic              D. regular
28. A. needed          B. forgotten        C. practised           D. left

Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo (单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 21 . They were also constant communication with people on the earth. 22 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 23 space flights in the future. Will there be special problem of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 24 is. When men are 25 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 26 .
Apparently, although no one wants to be 27 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 28 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to 29 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 30 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress.
