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(發(fā)牢騷), and I could tell 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 (皺眉) now stood on my father’s face. I knew I had to explain immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the class,” 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 excellently.

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.

1.In class, to hide my score from my classmates, I ___________ .

A. lowered my head                                B. covered my score up

Dear editor (編輯) ,
     I live in a beautiful city.  Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful peacocks
(孔雀)   here.
     The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square. They are given food freely by
visitors. They usually throw food to them, and don't think about at all whether the food is right or not.
Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors.
     I'm sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but don't realize
that  they may be doing them harm.
     The visitors should be told that what they have done is very harmful to th'e birds, and this kind of
thing must be stopped from happening.
     Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us
every person, it is our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
                                                                                                                                        Yours,
