A student went to college after 41__ all his school examinations. There he put his name down for world geography. 42_ after the first day, he did not go to 43_ any more.

He was very 46_ when he saw the boy's name on the list(名单) of students 47_ wanted to take the geography examination 48_ the end of the year.
The teacher had prepared a difficult examination paper, which covered 49 he had taught, and he was eager to see 50 this student answered the questions. He expected that his answers would be very 51_; but when he examined his paper carefully, he found only one small mistake in them. 52_ this surprised him very much, he went through the paper 53_, but was still not able to find 54 one mistake, so he sent 55 the student to question him about his work after the exam..
When the student had 56 the room, the teacher said to him, “I know that you came to my class only once on the first day and that you have been absent from all the others. Yet I have found only one small mistake in your paper. 57_ is that?”
“Oh, I'm sorry about that mistake, sir, ”answered the student. “After the examination, I realized 58 I ought to have written. I would not have made that mistake 59 I had been confused(弄糊涂) by your 60_ lecture.”

“Hey, Dad, are you going to come to my award ceremony tonight?” I 36 asked my father.
“I have to work late tonight. I doubt I’ll be able to 37 it on time. I am just too busy right now,” he replied.
My mind could not 38 the idea that he would be too busy working late. He was also too busy to 39 my horse show and the 15th birthday party. He always used the same 40 . Why had I even bothered to ask? 41 , there was always a slight hope that tonight would be 42 .
As my mother and I arrived at school, two friends 43 me. “Jill, meet my dad. Dad, this is my friend Jill.” I shook the hand of a tall man. Camera flashes lit up the room, and claps filled the 44 as students accepted their awards. My name was finally called, 45 three others. I followed my classmates to the 46 . When I reached out my hand to shake the 47 , a big smile lit up her face. The blinding flash from my mother’s camera 48 my eyes and I knew my dad wasn’t there. I walked back to my seat 49 . I told myself he would not be 50 .
However, a tall and strong figure suddenly greeted me as I 51 backward casually. I saw my father seated on the bench 52 at me among the audience! At that very moment I could feel my tears 53 . I showed my 54 to him, tears rolling down my face at last. I wondered 55 anybody else in the world could ever be any happier than I.

My friend , Sally , had a failed marriage in the past . After divorce , her parents gave the deepest protection and care to her by helping her 36 the child and offering 37 aid . Her parents’ 38 made her pull herself together and 39 the man who had hurt her before .
Nonetheless , her father , an honest and upright old man , after hearing his ex-son-in-law got 40 in his company , felt extremely 41 and went to his company to 42 his boss why such a playboy could get promoted . The whole office fell into a 43 immediately and many staff just looked 44 . The old man stood silently in the office with his bands 45 and eyes tearing .
That night , Sally cried heavily in front of me . I asked her whether it was her father’s 46 deeds that made her feel embarrassed . But she said that she felt 47 about her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her , her old father would still 48 her up and help her get the 49 she deserved , just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball , her father would get it back for her . 50 , this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily out-of-date . No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his 51 rude behaviors .
Although we have grown up , our parents still would not like us to 52 a bit and try all means to 53 us without caring whether what they do is awkward and stupid or not .
Who in the world would love us so deeply and relentlessly without asking for any 54 ? Only our 55 !

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects （缺陷） that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 36 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 37 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 38 for years—often from 39 childhood. These stories may have no 40 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作机械的） skills, and you will never have any mechanical ski
lls for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 41 my development? I was never 42 to work on cars or be around 43 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 44 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I 45 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 46 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 47 and told him about my 48 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 49 is it that you can solve 50 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 51 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 52 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 53 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 54 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 55 we choose.
