Question

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

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

Seven students       . The teacher then began to hand out the       . There were only three sentences typed on the paper, “Congratulations! You have just       an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.”

I never had a teacher like that,       I think it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who are not       in what they have learned are B students at best(充其量).

The same is       in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have       both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, either from normal education or from events in their lives, and have become       people.

Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about       has already been formed. You are a big kid now, and you       that you have some limits. However, there is      you can’t do or learn or be.
