　I’m a straight-A student and have been my whole life. When you come from a family of educators, it just seems　　.

With high academic standards and a competitive　　, I don’t just like losing and I also can’t　　it. I need to beat the　　students, perfectly in everything. I’ve even gone so far as to define myself by my　　, saying how outstanding I am. If I don’t get the grade I　　then I am lost.

Today I was sitting in class trying to　　the last minutes studying for a test in which I had to get full marks. 　　the girl behind me started talking to me, I tried to listen　　while still glancing at my study sheet　　. When I thought the conversation required it, I smiled, nodded and　　. And then I found myself wishing she would be　　so I could study. After a while, she said, “You know, you’re a really good　　. You’re so easy to talk to. ”I froze.

I replayed the praise in my head before smiling and accepting it　　. But inside, I knew it wasn’t true. She’d made every effort to have a conversation and I wasn’t even trying to　　.

I passed the test excellently despite my　　of lost study time, but the one thing I needed to learn most wasn’t on that test. I had　　being the best student so that I had failed at just being normal. So what　　to me most? What I have is all about my personal　　and about me being too self-centered. There can only be so many scholars, but there is　　enough sympathy. I want that to be what matters to me—sympathy.

When I entered Berkeley. I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could 36tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 37 in class.

When I took the first exam, I was 38 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, 39 English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained 40.

I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that 41 because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I 42 with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his 43.

One more test before the final exam. One more 44 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, 45  the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 46 did no good and everything 47  as before.

The last hurdle（障碍）was the final. No matter what 48 I got, it wouldn’t cancel C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 49 goodbye.

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 50 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 51 with a test.

A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He 52 to be expecting me. “If I gave you the A-pluses you 53, you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”

I stared at him, 54 that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head 55, as I had never done before.

I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage（孤儿院）turned me into an old man．

I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.

After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the bushes scattered around the orphanage.

I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings，pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet．

How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes，all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head，face and hands so I could look at them up close.

When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement（水泥）step and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out．It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin．Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled.

I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on its wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back．But it would not stay on him.

1.The author set the living butterfly free because_______.

2.According to the passage，the author’s life in the orphanage was_____.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards the house parent’s pinning some butterflies on the cardboard?

4.We know from the passage that_________.

A. the author lived alone in the dormitory

B. there were one hundred butterflies living in the bushes

C the cardboard paper was left on the step so as to be watched

D. the author failed to stick the worn wing onto the butterfly with his spit

5.Which of the following is right according to the passage?
