【题目】The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My ____ began when I was just a kid. I ____ becoming a doctor.

My mother was a domestic. Through her work, she observed that ____ people spent a lot more time reading than they ____ watching television. She announced that my brother and I ____ watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and ____ to her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a ____. My mother was illiterate.

When I entered high school I was a(n) ____, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to ____ the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home and I ____ about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, "Okay, I'll give you all the money make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy food for ____ and pay the bills. With everything ____ , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want. "I was very ____ with that arrangement but once I got through allocating money, there was ____ left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to ____ our heads and any kind of food on the table, and to live a better life. I also realized that ____ satisfaction wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my ____ and became an A-student again, and eventually I ____ my dream and I became a doctor.

【解析】【1】从下文可知，“我”小时候就开始有了信念。

【2】这句指出“我”的梦想，即梦想成为一名医生。

【3】据母亲观察，成功人士花在阅读上的时间要比花在看电视上多得多。

【4】此处使用did代替前文的spent，避免重复。

【5】她宣布，“我”和弟弟每周只能看二到三个预先挑选好的电视节目。

【6】由上下文可知，母亲非常严厉。我们每人必须阅读从底特律公共图书馆借来的两本书，还要上交读书心得。presentsth. to sb.把某物呈交给某人。

【7】由My mother was illiterate.得知母亲不识字，因而“我们”后来才意识到那些标记是个“骗局”。

【8】由后文“1 went from being an A-student_”可知“我”曾是个优等生。

【9】由but转折可知，后来“我”堕落了，想要漂亮衣服，想和别人出去闲荡。hang out闲荡。

【10】由下文可知，“我”抱怨没有足够的意大利针织衫。

【11】由上句可知母亲把所有的钱都给了“我”，当然是要“我”为全家买食物、付账单。

【12】此处是“with+宾语+宾补”结构。money与leave之间是被动关系。意为：剩下的钱你都拿去买你想要的意大利针织衫吧1

【13】由后文“but once I got through allocating money”可知，作者开始昕到这个消息自然“喜出望外”。

【14】但当“我”把该花的钱都分配完毕，手里已分文不剩。前后对比明显，故用nothing。

【15】“我”的母亲不愧是个理财能手，她能让“我们”有地方住、有各样的食物吃，过着还不错的生活。keep a roof over one's head“有地方住”；put an idea into one's head。使想起”；give an impression on“留下印象”．have eyes in the back of one's head“多留心，不露声色”。
