Everyone knew that Stuti was the best speller in the whole class. She could spell difficult words like “encyclopedia” and “amendment” very 1 . She used to get perfect scores during each weekly spelling test.
Ms. Daisy, her English teacher, made a 2 for the spelling tests that any child who doesn’t get at least 60% correct spellings would have to correct each wrong word and copy three times for next week’s spelling test. Seema, who sat next to Stuti always struggled （挣扎） in spellings. Last Thursday, she received 56%, which meant she had to 3 the rest 44% words three times.
Stuti was so 4 in her spelling abilities that she decided not to study for her next spelling test. The test began. Ms. Daisy pronounced each word and then repeated it. Everything was OK until she spoke “Handkerchief”. Stuti scribbled （匆匆书写） h-a-n-d-k-e-h...now what? Her mind was blank.
Ms. Daisy started to move on to the next word. An idea came into Stuti’s mind that Seema 5 how to spell it! Seema had written this word three times.
There it was, spelled out in Seema’s handwriting. Her eyes went quickly back to her own paper and 6 the word with the letters “i-e-f”.
Stuti remained nervous as Ms. Daisy read the last spelling word. She had 7 just for the first time in her life. She thought, “Is this the way I want to keep my perfect record—by being a cheater?”
Finally, she erased what she had written earlier and replaced it with what she knew was the wrong answer. She wrote “e-i-f”. As her hands put down her pencil and passed the test up to the front, she sighed with relief （解脱） . She thought, “So what if my perfect scores are no longer being kept? At least my 8 is.”
