The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was about to hand out the final exam papers．“I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test,”he said．“Arid because I know you are all able to understand this material, 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 remaining(余下的)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 which were typed 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 formal education or from evenis 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(珠穆朗玛峰)said,“We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves．”

What is the writer's purpose of writing the passage?
The dinosaurs once lived happily on the earth．But 65 million years ago，they suddenly died out．What happened to them?
Scientists think that a change in temperature may be to blame．They have come up with lots of ideas to explain the end of the dinosaurs．
The most famous one is the minor planet (小行星) idea．Let's go back to that day 65 million years ago to see what happened．Everything was OK before a large minor planet suddenly hit the earth．What a terrible hit! It caused big fires，storms，acid rain，and even earthquakes and volcano eruptions．The hit produced a lot of dust,which flew up into the air and blocked the sun for months．The earth became very cold without sunlight．The plants died first．Then the grass-eating animals died of hunger．Then the meat-eating animals could not find food，either．They began to eat each other，but after a while they died out，too．The dinosaurs，either plant-eaters or meat-eaters，did not live through the disaster(灾难)．What a sad story!
In April，a British scientist thought of a new idea about the death of the dinosaurs．He thinks that after the minor planet hit the earth，the temperature change left more dinosaur boys than girls! Without enough female dinosaurs to hatch the eggs，the dinosaur population became smaller and smaller．

You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit．If you move your tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move，your will know it and can stop them．
If you point to words，hold the two sides of your book，one side with your left hand，the other side with your right hand．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head，place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的)．
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time，you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
Even if you do rather fast now，you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told，the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
