.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 agree 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.

Michael _44_ Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards,
his teachers 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,

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_.
