Scottish pupils recently were part of a new scheme that allowed them to take their exams online. Those examinations provided a glimpse of the future in May when 120 candidates in 10 centers in Scotland sat in front of computers to take a multiple-choice online exam. Although candidates were using a computer mouse instead of a pen, in all other ways the exam was the same as normal.
Exam rooms were set out to ensure that only the candidates and the teachers were able to see the individual screens. The online answers were sent directly to a safe area. According to the students at St Ninian’s in East Renfrewshire who took an online French exam, it was definitely the most motivated they had ever felt when taking an exam.
“I could go as fast as I wanted to, rather than as slow as everyone else wanted to,” said one. “It was better than looking back and forth between the questions,” said another. One pupil even described it as fun.
Their head teacher, Dorothy Graham, was not so surprised, “They are so used to doing things on computers that it seems natural for them. The boys liked it because they didn’t have to worry about how neat their work was.” The only things that worried her were power cuts and systems’ crashing.
It’s thought that online exams could be the norm (常态) in about five years. However, last year there were warnings about computerizing exams in England and Wales. It’s thought that it could be unfair to some students if they come from homes without access to a computer.

A. Because they are not able to take the exam at home.
B. Because they can’t be allowed to take the exams if they don’t have computers at home.
C. Because they can’t operate computers as well as those who have computers at home.
D. Because they are worried about how neat their work is.

Let’s face the facts. On most occasions, some things may seem impossible, but in every impossibility, there is possibility. Impossible situations don’t last forever. While it might be impossible for one, it could still be possible for another. In a word, everything is possible.
Someone once said, “Success belongs to those who can look at challenges offered by the world as an inspiration.” So your challenges are golden opportunities for success. How can there be wonders if there are no difficulties? You need challenges to show your ability and success comes from the problems you face. Those who refuse to give in come out smiling.
Robert X. Perez once said, “The seeds of success spring from failure’s ashes; failure is not defeat and it just directs you in the right direction. To fail is to understand what you should not do. Remember it and don’t give up until your goal is achieved.”
What should you do when you face difficulties? Jasbeen says, “Yeah, life is difficult, but you shouldn’t give up. You should have a positive and calm attitude towards all your difficulties and make the best of them. You may learn something new. You can accept failure and develop mental toughness. Mental toughness is to see the long-term pains rather than be put off by short-term pains. Once you have this toughness, you have an advantage of winning.”
The only thing in life you ever really regret is the chances you didn’t take. You will only regret when you are faced with the consequences of not taking chances and seizing the moment. Take every chance you can!
Everything you’ve done in life may be good or bad, but no matter what you may do, you must try your best. You must do something meaningful and do it right now.
