We convey(传达) 32  by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but  33  performance pleases us.

At that time, Mary got a box  41 with pencils from the desk we shared. “Look, Jack ! I’ve got something to show you.” she said.“ See these pencils, they belong to Mrs. Green and me.
