  We must study at school. We need to learn something. So we can read books and write letters to people. Our village has a school. It is a very small school. There is only one classroom and one teacher. But we are lucky,because most villages don't have any schools.

  We all live far from the school. At lunch time we eat in the classroom in winter and we eat outside in summer. In winter we have to bring some wood to make a fire to make the classroom warm. The children in the school are all from six to twelve years old. We learn Chinese,math,music,art and PE at school. But we don't learn English because our teacher can't speak any English. Every day we read the books many times. This can help us remember our lessons well.

  One of the bad things is that school begins very early and we have to walk all the way to school. If we do something wrong,the teacher will punish us. One of the boys often gets punished because he often doesn't do his homework. I think school life is very hard.

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year,the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average (中等) ,and they were not the best students at all. Well,guess what? At the end of the year,all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.

What made these average students change so much to become the top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude (态度) .Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students,they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.

Do you know? If you expect the best from people,they'll usually give you their best. A great leader said, "Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside,and you'll make him even worse. But treat a person like he's already a success,and you'll help make him the best he can be."

The true story of 7-year-old Johnny has proved the words above. Johnny was a very naughty boy. His teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, "Johnny,you're the naughtiest boy in this class. I'm sure you'll never change. " The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of her class,she met Johnny after school and said, "Johnny,I've heard a lot about you!But do you know that I don't believe a word of it?" And every day after that,this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students in the class even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on,Johnny became a school leader. That's the power of the belief ('ft'fD and attitude toward children.

(   ) 11. The professor started his research by .

   A. telling the five students to work harder than ever before

   B. teaching the five children himself

   C. telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class

   D. asking the five children to find a new teacher

(   ) 12. The five average students became top students mainly because of .

   A. the professor's study

   B. the change in the professor's attitude

   C. the teachers' hard work

   D. the change in the teachers' attitude

(   ) 13. Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny?

   A. To show the importance of encouragement.

   B. To show that the boy was clever enough.

   C. To let us know the famous boy.

   D. To let us know how good his new teacher was.

(   ) 14. According to the story,we can learn that         .

   A. the research began at the end of the school year

   B. the students scored highest only because they worked hard

   C. if you expect the most from people,you'll get the least

   D. little Johnny liked his new teacher very much

(   ) 15. What does the passage mainly tell us?

   A. If you want to get more,you should have new teachers.

   B. Attitude and belief can change a person.

   C. A professor's study can help you score highest.

   D. Only teachers can make you a top student.
