One day Josh and his friends talked about things that bring them luck.“I have a rabbit's foot," said Larry. "I have a lucky cent," said Roger. "Every time l want to do really well in baseball or swimming,I always carry my lucky penny." "What about you, Josh?" asked Roger. "What is lucky for you?" Josh thought for a moment, and he answered, "My blue _______ . ""Blue socks!" the boys said together. "How can blue socks bring you _______ ?”Josh said that every time he wore his blue socks to school before a test, he got a good grade. He told the boys that one day he _______ his brown socks, and he didn't do well on his test.

The next day Josh had a math test. He was _______ because he couldn't find his blue socks. "Mom!" cried Josh. "Where are my blue socks? I have a math test today, and I need to wear them.…"Don't be silly（愚蠢的）, "Mom said. "Those socks are in the wash. If you study for your test, you will do just fine." Josh was not sure. "When I wear them,I get a good grade," Josh said. "Did you study for your test?" asked Mom. "Yes. " "Then you have nothing to worry about. Just do your best.”He agreed with his mom.

It was time for Josh to _______ his math test. He was very nervous, but he thought to himself(他自己), just do your best. Larry had his rabbit's foot, and Roger had his lucky cent. They asked Josh if he wore his lucky blue socks. "No," said Josh. "They were in the wash. " "Well, good luck," the boys said. Josh took _______ time and answered all the questions. There was still a long time before the end of the test. He even went back to check(檢查) his work _______ to be sure he did his best. That wasn't so bad Josh thought to himself.

Josh's teacher told him later that he scored a 95 on his test. "Wow!" cried Josh. "I didn't even wear my lucky blue socks. " Josh couldn't wait to tetl his mom how great he did on his test. Mom said, "When you study and do your best always, you will get a good grade. The socks do not make you do well, only you can make yourself(你自己) do well. You need to _______ yourself. " Roger and Larry did well on their tests, but they did not score as high as Josh. They told Josh that next time they would study harder and not rely on(依靠) their good luck things to pass a test.
