Hao Xue, a Grade Nine top student had a problem recently. She used to get marks of over 110 points on her math tests. But in the last final exam, her math score was only 90 points.
It was a shock. "I don't know what happened, "said Hao, who kept feeling nervous and frustrated like Hao, many of us have setbacks(挫折) in life. What should you do to deal with these setbacks?
Hao chose to face her problem. Her parents and teachers also gave her help. After some hard work her math marks were between 100 and 110. Although she still wasn't at her original level, she didn't panic anymore."Don't be scared by setbacks, you will beat it. "said Hao.

which is necessary for the coming high school PE entrance exam. One student has to do at least 35 sit-ups in a minute to pass the test. Most of her classmates can do 40. However, she can only do 20.
Feeling worried, Chen decided to do something. She did sit-ups for half an hour every day after school. Now after a month, she can do 30 sit-ups in a minute."I finally found what made me slow through
continuous practice and then improved little by little."said Chen, "I believe I will be able to do 40 next month."
