Question

In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my __1__, it was the same score.

       Later that evening, I _2_ told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our _3_ much better than an IQ(智商) test. We _ 4_ that Michael’s score must have been a __5___ and we should treat him ___6___ as usual.

       We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got _7 _ grades in the school, especially _8_ biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.

       Michael _9_ Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than _10_. In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.

       On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I _11_ the ceremony (典礼) at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the _12_ IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say _13_, “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the _14_ we had in him.

       Interestingly, Michael then _15_ another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had _16_ the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be _17_.

       Children often do as _18_ as what adults, particularly parents and teachers, _19_ of them. That is, tell a child he is “ _20_”, and he may play the role of a foolish child.
