Question

In the clinic，I asked if Michael could be retested，so the specialist tested his again. To my

    36     ，it was the same score.

    Later that evening，I    37    told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over，we agreed that we knew our    38    much better than an IQ（智商）test. We     39    that Michael’s score must have been a    40     and we should treat him     41     as usual.

    We moved to Indiana in 1962，and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got    42    grades in the school，especially    43     biology and chemistry，which was a great comfort.

    Michael     44      Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student. Soon afterwards，his teacher permitted him to take more courses than     45     .In 1968，he was accepted by the School of Medicine，Yale University.

    On graduation day in 1972，F(xiàn)rank and I    46     the ceremony（典禮）at Yale. After the ceremony，we told Michael about the     47     IQ score be got when he was six. Since that day，Michael sometimes would look at us and say    48     ，“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    49    we had in him.

    Interestingly，Michael then    50     another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had     51     the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126，an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be     52     .

    Children often do as    53    as what adults，particularly parents and teachers，   54   of them. That is，tell a child he is“    55   ，”and he may play the role of a foolish child.
