　　A"clean slate"in English means having a fresh start．It means we forget the past and begin again．

　　Many people have had trouble in school．（67）___ Chris，a second-year high school student，remembers that clearly．Once she failed in a math test．She says，"At first，I was very sad but then I studied hard and got good marks．"Penny，a high school teacher，also remembers failing physics in middle school．（68）___ After studying hard，"she says，"I got almost full marks in the college entrance test．"

　　（69）___We all fail sometimes．It is important that we do our best to improve．Failing a test does not mean that we can't go to university．（70）___It just means that we have to work harder and that we should ask for extra help from our teachers or friends．
