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

I know that' s what I 36 with our oldest son, Joe．He would be perfect．Joe would sail through 37 from learning ABC to being awarded a PhD.

Joe, 38 , had other ideas．

He was always a 39 kid．He wasn't the kind of boy who threw 40 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 41 that I had about sailing through school．From the day Joe started kindergarten, he struggled with scissors and handwriting and math．Always 42 . He passed each grade with great 43 , never at the top of his class．

How I 44 friends who had children with the "math gene"! A mom told me her daughter was doing high school algebra while in the sixth grade．Another mom said her son had just taken first place in the district' s annual Math Composition．

After hearing these stories, I would look at Joe and 45 : Why didn't we raise a mathematical talent? How is he ever going to get into 46 if he does not get better at math? Needless to say, my motherly 47 never really amounted to much. Does it ever? Moms tend to worry and worry, while whatever they' re worrying about usually 48 on its own．

During high school, Joe slowly 49 at math．He got through algebra I & II, and geometry, our state requirements for math．I felt greatly relieved at his little 50 . Then he announced that he' d take pre – calculus(微积分) in his last year of high school, which 51 me a lot．

"Why?" I questioned．

" Because I need to keep my skills up," he explained．" I 52 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 53 , 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 54 while I was worrying over his past．And that, to me, is even better than being 55 ．

36．A．worked B．expected C．continued D．showed

A

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.

I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That
