 Perhaps theonly test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test wasthe final for the class. It was a rather  36  test. I didn’tknow how  37  I had done but I knew there were things on   38  that I didn’t know.

   I remember   39    waitingfor the result. When Mr. Bales  40  my paper on my desk, I was  41    . There in big  42   numbers,circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I  43  my paperso that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not   44   thatyou wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and  45   the class. “The grades were not very good;   46 of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, soall of you failed.”

   A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal(阴沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highestgrade. I felt a lot   47   . As soon as I got home,my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. Mymother’s    48   changed suddenly. “Youfailed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t    49  what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone elsefailed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother  50   answered.

   For years, I thought that was a harshjudgment. My mother was always that  51  . It didn’t matterwhat the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and  52  Idid it excellently.

   We often don’t understand the wisdom ofgood parents until we ourselves stand   53  the parentingshoes. My mother’s philosophy（人生态度）has  54    me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but thepath to pass the tests of life is   55   and thereare very few people on it.
