This is your last   5   . ” Two more students decided to go.     Seven students remained.  The teacher then handed out the   6   .  There were only three sentences typed on the paper: Congratulations! You have just   7   an A in this class.  Keep believing in yourself.     I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test   8   any teacher could and should give.  Students who are not   9   in what they have learned are B students at best(充其量). The same is   10   in real life.  The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have   11   both successes and failures.  They have learned life’s lessons, either from normal education   12   from events in their lives, and have become   13   people.      Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed.  You are a big kid now, and you   14   that  you have some limits (限制).  However, there is   15   you can’t do or learn or be.  Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest said, “It’s not the mountain we conquer(克服) but ourselves. ”
