I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter, Emily. ________ to buy a mountain bike, she’d been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to earn extra money. By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said, “You ________ have your pick from my bicycle _ ________ .” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old.” She was right.

Would you want a doctor who got high marks in medical school just for trying hard? Apparently many college students would have no problem with that. They believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class.

The researchers asked more than 800 undergraduates if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. For example: "If I have completed most of the reading for a class, I deserve a B in that course." And: "A professor should not be annoyed with me if I receive an important call during class."

Just 16 percent thought it was OK to take that phone call. But 66 percent agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a student's work when deciding grades. And 40 percent thought they should get a B, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class.

Some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between effort and results. Social critics like to say that in children's activities these days everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected.

Yet competition to get into the best colleges is fiercer than ever. Students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job.

And there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the family's investment. These days, college can cost more than a house.

A former teaching assistant recently wrote to the New York Times about his experience with grade expectations. He would try to explain it this way when students asked for a top grade just for studying hard in chemistry class:

What if a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well? Would the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard?

The students would say no. But most of them would still ask for an A.

1.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A.Whether students deserve high marks just for trying hard.

B.Whether students are allowed to answer calls in class.

C.How students can get a good grade in the course.

D.Why students put a lot of efforts in their studies.

2.According to the research, most of the students _______.

A. thought it was all right to answer the call during class.

B. thought they did most of the work for class and should get a B.

C. objected to deciding grades only by the quality of a student’s work.

D. agreed that they should be given top grades because of their hard work.

3.Which of the following opinions do social critics agree to about children’s activities?

A.Those who are active in the activities can get an award.

B.Only by playing an important role in the activities can you get an award.

C.Whoever takes part in the activities can get an award.

D.An award is prepared for anyone who performs best in the activities.

4.From the sixth paragraph we can learn that _____.

A.it costs much more to build a college than to buy a house.

B.the costs of studying at college are much more than staying at home.

C.the costs of sending a child to college are much more than buying a house.

D.it is difficult for parents to send a child to college.

Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room I see is hair.” Once you’ve what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will make you happy. Then do one of the three things: Get it, replace it with a different , or forget about it and the tiles in your life that are not missing.

Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our ________ has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We ________ a spiritual faith, or a philosophy; it should this truth: if you choose to find the ________ in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed.

How to Survive High School

High school can be a terrible phase if you get it all wrong. Find out how to survive high school with a few easy tips.

1. Be Yourself.

High school is a fun time to make new friends, meet new people, date and socialize. Make friends with all kinds of people and not just a group which you are comfortable with. Most peer pressure cases are because of the weak image created by freshmen. 1. Don’t give in to anyone’s wants.

3. Be Optimistic.

There is nothing better than having a smile on your face whenever you can. 3. Don’t be afraid to make friends, don’t get aggressive or personal with anyone and treat others the way you want to be treated. Respect your teachers and classmates and try to be helpful if you want the same in return.

4. Be Confident.

When you believe in yourself, others believe in you. Talk, walk and address people confidently and this will create a strong image about you. 4. Be creative and unique and learn to set trends. Confidence is one quality you grow with, and people respect you for that.

5. Love High School.

5. Make the most out of it, and you will never get those moments back. Come up with prank ideas, get a detention, top your class, make the best friends, drink, go to prom, party, but just make as many memories as you can!

With these tips to survive high school, you will surely be proud of graduating as an all round approaching adult carrying the best roots. So, when you throw those hats in the air, feel the freedom and remember every moment you spent in “High School”.
