完形填空。      I hated math and was really bad at it when I was young, so I found others to allow me to copy their work.
Even though they knew they were    1   me, there were lots of people who were glad to"help". In this way, I 
  2   a few tests.
     But one day something    3   happened. Our teacher changed our    4   for the exam and I was sitting beside
a boy that I seldom    5   with before. As I could only answer a question or two, I had to turn to him    6   I didn"t want to have a sea of red crosses (叉号) in my paper.
     I signaled (示意) to him and managed to    7   his attention. When he asked me what I wanted, I    8   asked
him for the answers. To my surprise, he    9   without any hesitation (犹豫). Of course, I was really    10   at his behavior and thought badly of him.
     After the test he    11   me, telling me that I could get good grades in math and that all I needed was to put
more   12   into studying the subject. I was still    13   with him, but I couldn"t get his words out of my mind.
     From that day on, I began to    14   more time to my math. Slowly, the subject I    15   hated so much turned
into such an interesting thing. I started to pass my math tests with my own    16   . Time passed and I was
getting many As in my math even till my higher studies.
     Till today, I am still    17   to my friend who didn" t allow me to copy his work. He    18   if he provided me
with the "help" during the test, there would be no    19   for me to shine. So let others shine and don" t ever rob (掠夺) others of their opportunity to show their    20   .
