“Does it look right?”he asked．Yes, the clothes and scenes were 7 ; the buildings had been copied from the New Orleans French Quarter in Caribbean．
“Does it sound right?” Disney 8 the latest sound equipment installed(安装)in order to exactly 9 the sounds of music, voices, boats and even animals that you'd 10 to the Caribbean．Yes, it sounded right．
“Does it feel right?”He had controlled the temperature to perfectly 11 that of a New Orleans night．Yes, it felt right．
12 , something was still missing．“What is it?” Disney asked．
Finally, one of the young men who had been sweeping the floors said, “ 13 , Mr, Disney, I 14 up in the South, and what 15 me is that on summer night like this, there 16 be lightning bugs(虫子)．”Disney's face 17 up．That, of course, was 18 !The young man was given a generous prize, and Disney actually had live lightning bugs 19 in to make his ride more real 20 he could figure out a way to imitate(模仿)them mechanically．

When I took the first exam, I was 3 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, 4 English was my best subject．I went to reason with Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained 5 ．
I decided to try harder, although I didn't know what that 6 because school had always been easy for me．I read the books more carefully, but got another 77．Again, I 7 with Professor Jayne．Again, he listened patiently but wouldn't change his 8 ．
One more test before the final exam．One more 9 to improve my grade．So I redoubled my efforts(加倍努力)and, for the first time, 10 the meaning of the word "thorough"(彻底的)．But my 11 did no good and everything 12 as before．
The last hurdle(障碍)was the final．No matter what 13 I got, it wouldn't cancel three C-pluses．I might as well kiss the 14 goodbye．
I stopped working hard．I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would．The night before the final, I even 15 myself to a movie．The next day I decided for once I'd have 16 with a test．
A week later, I was surprised to find I got anA．I hurried into Professor Jayne's office．He 17 to be expecting me．"If I gave you the As you 18 , you wouldn't continue to work as hard．"
I stared at him, 19 that his analysis and strategy(策略)were correct．I had worked my head 20 , as I had never done before．
I was speechless when my course grade arrived：A-plus．It was the only A-plus given．The next year I received my scholarship．I've always remembered Professor Jayne's lesson：you alone must set your own standard of excellence．
