My mother told me ______ late for school.

[　　]

My mother began to ask us to be on time when my twin brother and I were about five years old. She    31    told us not to be late for a lot of things. “   32   ” became our family rule.

Mother    33   as a teacher when my twin brother and I    34    the first grade. Every school day morning, she called us to    35    , and cooked us breakfast. School started at 8:00 am,    36   we arrived at the school before 7:30 am each school day morning.

When we were in high school, our    37    once told my mother that we had been late for three times in one month. That made my mother so    38   that she beat us. After that I was not late for     39    .

I kept the    40    of being on time for a(an)   41    time. When I became a teacher , we were asked to get to    41    at 8:00 am, but I always got there about 30 minutes     43    . That gave me enough     44    to do my job better.
