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 (珠穆朗瑪峰)said，“We do not conquer the mountain．but ourselves．”

Do you enjoy climbing mountains? I’d like to tell you a true story about John and Peter. They were 66 mountaineers. As John was experienced, he was always asking Peter to copy his example. “Would you like to stand on the 67 of the world, Peter?” “Of course . It has already 68 my dream,”Peter answered.

On a sunny morning, the two men started for the top of Mount Qomolangma. After they climbed over one of the most 69 slopes, they found a man lying in the snow. “He’s going to 70,”Peter looked at John and said, as if he would help the man. “Leave him by himself and just follow me !If you bring the burden with you , I’m 71 you’ll lose your life.”John warned Peter . Then he turned around and walked forward 72. It was too cold. After thinking for a 73 , Peter made up his mind to help the dying man. He carried the man on his back and made his way forward . Little by little , Peter’s temperature made the man74. The man came to himself! And soon he could move all by himself. Together they moved side by side.

About two hours later, they kept up with John.To his surprise , they found that John was almost dead in he snow. He had been 75 to death.
