A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.

Every day we see pictures like this on TV. We see Iraqi（伊拉克的）children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers when they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same as their small bodies when they escape from their homes in Baghdad.

They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war.

“Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed ?” asked the son of Abu, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain（解释）this war to his eight-year-old son.

He tries to make him feel safe by saying, “The bombs（炸弹）are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We’re going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows it isn’t always true, nothing else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from the sound of bombs. And all the schools are closed.

Now things are worse, and the ongoing war makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick, hurt or even dead.

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers．“I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test．” he said．“And because I know you are all able to understand these questions．I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test．’’

    A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom．The teacher looked at the rest students and said．“Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance．”Two more students decided to go．Seven students stayed．The teacher then handed out the papers．There were only three sentences on the paper： Congratulations! You have received an A in this class．Keep believing in yourself．

    I never had a teacher who gave a test like that．but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give．Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most．

    The same is true for students in real life．The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures．They have learned life’ s lessons, whether from school education or from events in their lives，and have become better 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 realize that you have some limits(局限)．However，there is nothing you can’t do or leant to be．Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰)said，“We do not conquer the mountain．but ourselves．”
