A famous study was done in a school by a professor 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,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.Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students,they expected 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? If you expect the best from people,they’ll usually want to give you their best.A great leader said,“Treat 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 and attitude toward children.

1.The professor started his research by ________.

A.telling the five students to work harder than ever before

B.teaching the five children himself

C.telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class

D.asking the five children to find a new teacher

2.The five average students became top students mainly because of ________.

A.the professor’s study     B.the change in the professor’s attitude

C.the teachers’ hard work   D.the change in the teachers’ attitude

3.Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny?

A.To show the importance of encouragement.

B.To show that the boy was clever enough.

C.To let us know the famous boy.

D.To let us know how good his new teacher was.

4.According to the story,we can learn that ________.

A.the research began at the end of the school year

B.the students scored highest only because they worked hard

C.if you expect the most from people,you’ll get the least

D.little Johnny liked his new teacher very much

5.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.If you want to get more,you should have new teachers.

B.Attitude and belief can change a person.

C.A professor’s study can help you score highest.

D.Only teachers can make you a top student.

It seemed no one cared about Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic(酗酒) parents. In spite of his reading skills, he had been failing exams since first grade. Steve went unnoticed until Miss White.

  Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break under her sharp words, and when he was punished for failing to turn in his homework, he felt just miserable! Still, he did not study.

  Until one day, Miss White talked to him, “Steve! Please! I care about you!”

Suddenly, Steve understood! Someone cared about him!

From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!

After high-school Steve joined the Navy, and he had a successful military career. During that time, he met the love of his life, he raised a family, and he graduated from a college. Later he became a professor in a nearby college

  You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.
