The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how   1  you have worked to prepare for this test,” he said. “And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to those who   2  not to take the test.”

Many students thanked the teacher and left. The teacher looked at the students left and said, “Does anyone else want to get a ‘B’? This is your last   3 .” Two more students decided to go.

Only seven students were still in the classroom. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just   4  an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believing in   5 .

I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not  6  in what they have learned are ‘B’ students at most.

The same is   7  in our daily life. The ‘A’ students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have   8  both successes and failures. They have got life’s lessons, not only from normal education, but from events in their   9 , and have become   10  people. You see, one should always believe in himself.

    Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You may  1  they go to learn languages，P．E．，history，science and all other  2  ．But why do they learn these things?

    We send our children to school to prepare them for the time  3  they will be big and will begin to work for  4  Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life．But is that the  5  reason why they go to school?

    There is more in education than just  6  facts．We go to school above all to learn how to learn，so that then we have left school we can  7  to learn．A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful，because whenever he has to do something new which he has never had to do  8  he will rapidly(快速的)teach himself how to do it  9  the best way．The uneducated person，on the other hand，is  10  unable to do something new, or does it badly．The purpose(目的)of school，therefore，it not to teach languages，math，geography，etc，but to teach pupils the way to learn．
