It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university.On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 21 . On their faces was confidence. This was their 22 exam—then on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they 23 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 24 and able to take control of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 25 task, as the professor had said they could bring 26 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 27 each other during the test.
28 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 29 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed 30 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the 31 faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” 32 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 33 .” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 34 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 35 many things about the 36 you don't know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in 37 practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 38 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 39 .”

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.
