In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my 21  , it was the same score.

Later that evening, I _22  _ told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our _23_  much better than an IQ test. We 24   that Michael’s score must have been a _25  and we should treat him __26___ as usual.

Michael _29_ Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than _30_ . In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.

On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I 31  the ceremony at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the _  32_ IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say _33  , “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 _34 _ we had in him.

Interestingly, Michael then _35 _ another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had _36 _  the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be _37 _ .
