第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项A, B, C,和D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

“We expected our first child to be perfect.” Most parents have thought so．

I know that' s what I 46 with our oldest son, Joe．He would be perfect．Joe would sail through 47 from learning ABC to being awarded a PhD.

Joe, 48 , had other ideas．

He was always a 49 kid. He wasn't the kind of boy who threw 50 at passing cars on a freezing winter day or who dropped water balloons on the mailman during the heat of August．

But he wasn't perfect. Especially when it came to that nice little 51 that I had about sailing through school. From the day Joe started kindergarten, he struggled with scissors and handwriting and math. Always 52 . He passed each grade with great 53 , never at the top of his class．

"Why?" I questioned．

" Because I need to keep my skills up," he explained．" I 62 math, but I need to take it so I don' t forget how to do it．"

"For college, " he added．"I want to do really well in college, Mom．I know it will be 63 , but I think it' s important that I try to do my best．"

My oldest son wasn't perfect. He wasn't a math talent, either. But he knew what was important: he was focusing on his 64 while I was worrying
