In the clinic,I asked if Michael could be retested,so the specialist tested him 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,Frank and I 46 the ceremony(典礼)at Yale.After the ceremony,We told Michael about the 47 IQ score he 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.
