Nick
and his friends were talking about things that can bring them luck.
"I have a lucky red pen," said Andy. "Every time I take a
test, I carry my lucky red pen."
"I have a lucky coin," said Peter. "Every time I take a test,
I carry my lucky coin."
Nick
thought for a moment, and said, "My blue socks."
"Blue socks?" the boys were surprised and asked together.
Nick
said that every time he wore his blue socks to school before a test, he got a
good mark.
The
next day Nick had a Chinese test. He was sad because he couldn't find his blue
socks.
"Mom!" shouted Nick. "Where my blue socks? I have a
Chinese test today, and I need to wear them."
"Don't be silly," Nick's mom said. "They need to be washed."
"When I wear them, I get a good grade," Nick said.
"Did
you prepare for your test?" asked Mom.
"Yes."
Mom
encouraged him,"①那就不用担心了。尽你的最大努力吧。"
A few
days later, Nick's teacher told him that he got 95 in his test. ②Nick was so excited that
he couldn't wait to tell Mom that he did well in his test.
Mom
said, "It wasn't the blue socks that made you success. In fact, it was
made by yourself."
