Mr. Wise,
I am a slow（迟钝的）student. Most of my classmates are much better than me. So I usually get worried. I spent much time studying for the tests, but I can’t get good grades（分数）. Sometimes my father gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it. But it doesn’t work. What do you think I should do?
Xiaoming
Dear Xiaoming,
Many famous people were not so good when they were young. Edison, a famous scientist(科学家), did badly in his studies when he was a 12-year-old boy. But he did a lot for the people in the world at last. When I was at your age, I didn’t do well at school. But I kept working hard and I succeeded(成功) at last. You should take it easy and try your best. Tomorrow is another day. I believe you can do better.
Mr. Wise

While I was waiting to enter university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I   16  . Because I was in great need of   17  and wanted to do something useful, I applied（申请）.
Three days later, a letter   18  . It asked me to see the   19  at Croydon. It proved to be an    20  journey—a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at   21  a quarter of a mile. It was clearly that the headmaster himself opened the door. He was   22  and round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys   23  seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the   24  except art,   45  he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into   26  groups and teach them at three different   27  , and I was not  28  at the thought of teaching maths—a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was  29  that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be   30   themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary（薪水）, he got up to his feet. “ Now,” he said. “ you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.

Three days later, a letter   18 . It asked me to see the   19  at Croydon. It proved to be a(n)   20  journey —a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of   21  a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principal   22  opened the door. He was   23  and round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the   24  except art, which he taught himself.
