You are always at the bottom (最后) of your class 43 you have no goals.' The man’s son said nothing. He had already heard this from his father many times. 'And when your mother was your age, ' the young man’s father 44 , ' she had a good job and she 45 lots of money. You don’t even have a part-time job .You earn nothing. ' The man’s son still said nothing. He had heard this before, too. 'And when your 46 brother was your age, 'the young man’s father said, 'he studied hard. But you just waste your time.' And the man’s son still said nothing. Finally, the young man’s father said, 'And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, he worked all day and studied at night.' This time the son 47 stay silent. ' And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, father,' he said, 'He was the President of 48 United States. 49 are you?' His father had no answer 50 this. Are your parents always comparing you with others?
