完形填空：从A、B、C中，选择一个最佳答案，使短文意思完整。

At my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there. I never   , but always got near perfect scores on all my tests. I was a child genius (天才), at least in my mind. I was also    music and sports. I was pretty sure that once I got to seventh grade, everyone including my teachers would be     by me.
