Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children she had read in newspapers and magazines.
The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states in our country and 1 most of the European countries. A teacher also said the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly.
“What’s the capital of Finland?” my mother asked me, looking at the magazine story.
All I knew was the capital of Californi a. “Nairobi!” I guessed, saying the most
2 word I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to

Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and when I saw only my face looking back — and that it would always be this 7 face —I began to cry. I made loud noises like a mad animal.

so I could see more 8 . The girl looking back at me was angry, strong. This
girl and I were the same. I had new thoughts. I won’t let her 9 me. I won’t
be what I’m not.
So the following nights when my mother presented her tests, I performed
listlessly, my head on one arm. I pretended (假装) to be bored. And I was. I started
to 10 other things. Soon, she noticed I was absent-minded. We had a talk
and I told her what I thought and how I felt about the tests. Then the whole
evening, she seemed to be thinking.
The next day, she presented me some easier tests. I found my pleasure and confidence back again, and we started to be on the way to make me a prodigy I
could be.

“But, young man, don’t you 5 that there are miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t 6 make a difference!”。
