四、完形填空
As the teacher pronounced my name, I knew what lay ahead. She called me to the whiteboard to do a long division (除法) problem. Maths was my 1 subject. When doing a long division problem, I always repeatedly put the 2 in the wrong places, or forgot to add in the zeros. 3 I reached the whiteboard, I looked at the blonde-haired girl next to me, trying to copy 4 she was writing. I tried my best, but she went faster than I could understand.
Impossible to understand. Why me? Why couldn't I get my head around this strange concept (概念) that all the other kids understood? Why, even when I tried my hardest to deal with (处理) the division problems?
Why? Why?
I held back salty tears and wrote some numbers randomly (随便地) on the board. The teacher read over our answers silently.
"Now, class, Susie did this problem 5."
"As for Tara," the teacher said, rolling her eyes, "Gosh, I don't even know what she did."
The class broke into laughter, and I felt my face 6 red and I tried to hide as low as possible into my seat, in hopes of 7 them from seeing me at all.
But this 8 from middle school is one I remember, surprisingly, in a positive (积极的) way. It made me stronger, and gave me determination (决心). When I get a bad grade in school, or I am put down by somebody, I think of that moment and every one of those whys that I asked myself, which give me the courage (勇气) to 9 all of those whys. I will continue until perfection, or as 10 as I can get to it.

### 四、完形填空
当老师念到我的名字时，我就知道接下来会发生什么了。她叫我到白板前做一道长除法题。数学是我**最糟糕的**学科。做长除法题时，我总是反复地把**数字**放错位置，或者忘记补零。**当**我走到白板前时，我看着我旁边的金发女孩，试图模仿她正在写**什么**。我尽了最大的努力，但她写得太快了，我根本跟不上。
根本理解不了。为什么是我？为什么我就是搞不懂这个其他孩子都明白的奇怪概念呢？为什么，即使我尽了最大的努力去做除法题？
为什么？为什么？
我忍住咸咸的泪水，在黑板上随便写了一些数字。老师默默地看了我们的答案。
“现在，同学们，苏西把这道题做**对了**。”
“至于塔拉，”老师翻了个白眼说，“天哪，我都不知道她在干什么。”
全班哄堂大笑，我觉得我的脸**变得**通红，我尽量把身子埋在座位里，希望能**阻止**他们看到我。
但这段中学的**回忆**，令人惊讶的是，我是以一种积极的方式记住的。它让我变得更坚强，给了我决心。当我在学校成绩不好，或者被别人贬低时，我就会想起那一刻，想起我问自己的每一个“为什么”，这些“为什么”给了我**回答**所有这些“为什么”的勇气。我会一直坚持下去，直到完美，或者尽可能**接近**完美。
