big 42 numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade 41! i 43 my paper so that others couldnt see it. a 41 was not 44 that you wanted your classmates to see. finally, mr. bales stood behind the desk and 45 the class. “the grades were not very good; 46 of you passed,” he announced. “ the highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.” a 41. that was me. suddenly my dismal (阴沉的) face didnt look quite so bad. i had the highest grade. i felt a lot 47 . as soon as i got home, my mother asked me, “how did you do on your test?” “i made a 41,” i said. my mothers 48 changed

do,” my mother 50 answered. for years, i thought that was a harsh (严厉的) judgment. my mother was always that 51 . it didnt matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what i did and 52 i did it excellently. we often dont understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand 53 the parenting shoes. my mothers philosophy（人生态度）has 54 me throughout life. the path of the crowd is wide

to the house. finally, my curiosity got the best of me. i went out of the house and followed him on his journey.he was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. branches and thorns (荆棘) slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. as i leaned in to spy on him, i saw the most amazing site.several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. but billy walked right up to them. i almost screamed for him to get away. and i saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water, lift its head with great effort to drink the water cupped in my beautiful boys hand.i stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. as my tears began to hit

doing what, you ask? well, theyre certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinkingnor are they reading a booknew technology has replaced quiet habitstoday the only acceptable form of book on the london underground is an e-bookapple must earn a fortune from london commuters（使用月票上下班者）. since the launch of the iphone in 2007, over 40, 000 yes, 40, 000 “apps” have been designedcommuters love them because they are the perfect time - fillers. one “app”, called ishoot, is a game that features tanksanother one, tube exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. isteam clouds the iphone screen when you breathe into the microphone. you can then write in the “steam” on your phone screenfor those without an iphone, another apple product, the ipod, may be the distraction (消遣) of choice. its not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music ipods are a popular way to pass the time for all agesand if games, e-books and music arent

year old richie hawley had spent five years studying violin at the community school of performing arts in los angeles when he took part in a violin contest. ninety two young people were invited to the contest and hawley came out firstthe contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges. but hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm. “i couldnt be thinking about how many mistakes id make it would distract me from playing,” he says. “i didnt even remember trying to impress people while i played. its almost as if they werent there. i just wanted to make music.”hawley is a winner. but he didnt become a winner by concentrating on winning. he did it by concentrating on playing well“the important thing in the olympic games is not to win but to take part,” said the founder of the modern olympics, pierre de coubertin. “the important thing in life is not the triumph (胜利) but the struggle. the essential thing is not to have conquered
