A famous study was done in a school by a professor (教授) from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average(中等),and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.
  What made these average students change so much to become top students?The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude(态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students,they expected(期望) more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
  Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success,and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”
  Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said,“Johnny,you’re the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class,she met with Johnny after school and said,“Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude(态度) toward children.

    My favorite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer(套姆索耶历险记)by Mark Twain.Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street.He’s a lively and clever young boy,and he finds himself in many exciting adventures.He runs away with his two friends,Huck Finn and Joe to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.With Huck he goes looking for treasure with Becky he gets lost in a cave.and finally they find a box of gold.

    My favorite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral.He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears.Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.

    Tom is the hero of the story but there are other important characters.Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him.Becky is pretty with fair hair.Joe is Tom’s best friend and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.

    The story is about children growing up.It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally,it talks about freedom.social rules and how people are punished(惩制)for bad behavior.

    Who do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876,but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world Today.And although it’s only a story.Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century,so it sounds very real.Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.Go on-read it! I know you’ll enjoy it,too.
