Perhaps　the　only　test　score　that　I　remember　is　the　55　when　I　was　in　high　school.
The　test　was　the　final　for　a　course.　I　remember　waiting　anxiously　as　my　teacher　Mr.　Right　passed　out　our　papers　one　by　one.　It　was　a　rather　difficult　test.　I　heard　my　classmates　groaning,　and　I　could　tel　by　the　groans　that　the　scores　weren’t　looking　good.
Mr.　Right　put　my　paper　on　my　desk.　There　in　big　red　numbers,　circled　to　draw　attention,　was　my　score,　55!
I　lowered　my　head,　and　covered　the　score　up　quickly.　A　55　is　not　something　that　you　wanted　your　classmates　to　see.“The　scores　were　not　very　good,　none　of　you　passed,”Mr.　Right　said.　“The　highest　score　in　the　class　was　a　55.”
A　55.　That’s　me!
Suddenly　my　sad　look　didn’t　look　so　bad.　I　had　the　highest　score.　I　felt　a　lot　better.
I　walked　home　alone　that　day　with　the　low　but　high　score.　My　father　knew　that　I　had　a　big　test　that　day　and　asked　me　as　soon　as　I　got　home,　“How　did　you　do　in　your　test？”“I　made　a　55,”I　said.
A　frown（皱眉）now　stood　on　my　father’s　face.　I　knew　I　had　to　explain　immediately.　“But　Dad,　I　had　the　highest　score　in　the　calss,”I　proudly　stated.　I　thought　that　explanation　would　make　a　difference.“You　failed!”my　father　replied.“But　it’s　the　highest!” I　insisted.“I　don’t　care　what　scores　others　had,　but　you　failed.　What　matters　is　what　you　do!”my　father　firmly　said.
For　years,　my　father　was　always　that　way.　It　didn’t　matter　what　others　did,　it　only　mattered　what　I　did　and　that　I　did　it　excelently.
We　often　don’t　understand　the　wisdom（智慧）of　good　parents　until　we　ourselves　stand　in　the　parents’shoes.　My　father’s　words　have　carried　me　throughout　life.
【小题1】　The　word　groaning　is　the　closest　in　meaning　to　_____.

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish 　 46 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean waster to drink.

　　 Recently, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life(低碳生活) is 　 47　 every corner of our country. The meanings of low-carbon are 　 48　 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait 　 49　 my ideas on how to promote( 促进、发扬) it.

　　 First, we should 　 50　 a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 　 51　 the no-car day, neither students 　 52　 teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time, just walk or run. Use our 　 53　 and enjoy the fun.

　　 Second, we had better not use plastic bags 　 54　 . No one can stand the “white pollution”, 　 55　 it is wise to use cloth bags which can 　 56　 again and again.

　 　 57　 , one thing 　 58　 we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details(细目、细节). So, as students, we ought to turn 　 59　 the lights the moment we leave, use 　 60　 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

　　 All in all, it weights greatly for all of us to put the low-carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these: no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
