Top student Lin Yijian had a problem recently . The 14-year-old boy from Xiamen used to get marks of over 110 points (out of 120 possible points)on his math tests . But during last semester’s final exams , his math score was only 90 points .
It was a shock . “I didn’t know what happened , ”said Lin , who kept feeling nervous and frustrated(沮丧的)about math during the following month. .
Like Lin , many of us have setbacks(挫折)in life . What would you do to deal with these setbacks ? Would you just let them be and give up ?
Lin chose to face his problem . His parents and teacher also gave him help . After some hard work he now gets marks between 100 and110 points on his math tests . Although he still isn’t at his original(原来的)level , Lin doesn’t panic anymore .
“Don’t be scared by setbacks ,”he said . “You will beat it . ”
Chen Xingzhu in Shenzhen also has a story to tell . The 15-year-old girl is not good at doing sit-ups(仰卧起坐),which is necessary for the coming high school PE entrance exam(体育中考). One has to do at least 35 sit-ups in a minute to pass the test . Most of Chen’s classmates can do 40 . However , Chen could 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 a minute .
“I finally found what made me slow through continuous (持续的)practice and then improved little by little , ”said Chen . “I believe next month I will be able to do 40 !”

There was once a lonely girl who wanted love very much. One day she was walking in the forests, she found two dying birds. She took them home and put them in a small . She was happy to have two “friends”. She them with love and the birds grew strong. One day the girl happened to the door of the cage open. The larger and the of the two flew out of the cage. The girl was that it would fly away. She caught it quickly. She felt glad that she caught the bird before it could fly away. Suddenly she couldn’t a sound from the bird. When she opened her , the bird was already dead. Her killed the bird!Then she noticed bird jumping up and down inside the cage. She could feel great need for freedom. It wanted to fly into the clear, blue . So she lifted it from the cage and let it fly away . The bird circled once, twice, and three times. The girl watched as the bird flew. She didn’t care about the bird any more. She wanted it to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the song she had ever heard.
