Jenna, a popular girl from Westwood Middle School, had graduated first in her class and was ready for new 1 in high school.
2, high school was different. In the first week, Jenna went to tryouts(选拔赛) for cheerleaders(拉拉队队员). She was competing against very talented girls, and she knew it would be 3 for her to be selected. Two hours later, the 4 read a list of the girls for a second tryout. Her heart 5 as the list ended without her name. Feeling 6, she walked home carrying her schoolbag full of homework.
Arriving home, she started with math. She had always been a good math student, but now she was 7. She moved on to English and history, and was 8 to find that she didn’t have any trouble with those subjects. Feeling better, she decided not to 9 math for the time being.
The next day Jenna went to see Mrs. Biden about being on the school 10. Mrs. Biden wasn’t as 11 as Jenna. “I’m sorry, but we have enough 12 for the newspaper already. Come back next year and we’ll talk then.” Jenna smiled 13 and left. “Why is high school so 14?” she sighed.
Later in 15 class, Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much 16. By the end of class, she understood how to get them right. As she gathered her books, Jenna decided she’d continue to try to 17 at her new school. She wasn’t sure if she’d succeed, but she knew she had to 18. High school was just as her mom had said: “You will feel like a small fish in a big pond 19a big fish in a small pond. The challenge is to become the 20 fish you can be.”

There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so    36    at the time may cause us to smile years later.

     One such memory is a phone call I    37    when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local    38    show. Entrants（参加者）were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus（女圣诞老人）! Mrs. Claus would award（奖励） the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

     I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had    44    the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had    45    a wall with crayons（蜡笔）. Even I knew that this was not the kind of    46    that Santa would approve.

     Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone（语气）of    47   , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I    48    that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.

     I    49    down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime（罪行）had not    50    unpunished. Santa would    51    know that I’d been bad!

     It turned out that I did get a    52    present from the radio station and its sponsor（赞助商）. And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a    53    mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not    54    a piece of coal（煤）.

     I wonder what Santa has in    55    for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was   3 .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak.
