Years ago a John Hopkin’s professor gave a group of graduate students this task: Go to the slums(平民窟). 31 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and 32 their background and environment. Then predict their 33 for the future.
The students, after 34 social statistics, talking to the boys, and collecting much data, 35 that 90 percent of the boy would spend some time in 36 .
Twenty-five years later another group of graduate students was 37 the job of testing the 38 . They went back to the same area. Some of the boys— 39 men—were still there,a few had died,some had moved away, 40 they got in touch with 180 of the 41 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.
42 was it that these men,who had lived in a breeding place of crime,had such a 43 good record? The researchers were continually told,“Well,there was a teacher…”
They pressed 44 ,and found that in 75 percent of the 45 it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher,now living in a home for retired 46 . How had she had this remarkable influence 47 that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys 48 have remembered her?
“No,”she said.“No I really couldn’t.”And then, 49 back over the years,she said musingly,more to herself than to her 50 ,“I loved those boys…”

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My 【小题1】 began when I was just a kid. I 【小题2】 becoming a doctor. My mother was a worker. Through her work, she observed that 【小题3】 people spent a lot more time reading than they 【小题4】 watching television. She announced that my brother and I
【小题5】watch two to three TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and then 【小题6】 her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 【小题7】 . My mother was illiterate (文盲的).
When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I 【小题8】 the fashionable clothes. I wanted to 【小题9】 the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home after 【小题10】 at one of her several jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing (擦洗) floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy 【小题11】 food and pay the bills. With the money that is 【小题12】 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 【小题13】 with that plan, but once I had finished paying for all of the important things, there was 【小题14】 left. I realized that my mother was always dealing with money well to be able to 【小题15】 a roof over our heads and to put food on the table. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. _【小题16】__ required intellectual (智力的) preparation. I went back to my 【小题17】 and became an A-student again. Finally, I 【小题18】 my dream and I became a doctor. My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with 【小题19】 formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. Now I believe that there is no job more 【小题20】 than parenting.
