If you are a computer game fan, you must have heard of StarCraft. Recently, the University of Florida opened a StarCraft class for students. Maybe you feel confused when you hear of the news, maybe you think I am joking. But that’s true. In our mind, students are not allowed to play computer games by teachers and parents. Don’t you believe that the StarCraft class was set up in the University of Florida? Please read more.
Nowadays, the world is developing in a fast way, so it is very important for students to be good at skills such as solving problems, making decisions and critical thinking(批判性思维). It is said that all these skills appear in StarCraft. Therefore, StarCraft can provide a high effective environment for students to consider and take action in difficult situations.
“A student who gets a university education and goes into the business world could realize that something he learned in his StarCraft class helps him to think in a different way,” said one teacher in the University of Florida.
“The StarCraft class offers a new way to students to study. Study is not only about learning things from books,” said another teacher.
Not all the students can take the StarCraft class. The class is only open to the students who have some knowledge about the game.

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 _____that you have some limits (限制). However, there is _____you can’t do or learn or be. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest said, “It’s not the mountain we conquer(克服) but ourselves.

The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how   1  you have worked to prepare for this test,” he said. “And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to those who   2  not to take the test.”

Many students thanked the teacher and left. The teacher looked at the students left and said, “Does anyone else want to get a ‘B’? This is your last   3 .” Two more students decided to go.

Only seven students were still in the classroom. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just   4  an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believing in   5 .

I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not  6  in what they have learned are ‘B’ students at most.

The same is   7  in our daily life. The ‘A’ students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have   8  both successes and failures. They have got life’s lessons, not only from normal education, but from events in their   9 , and have become   10  people. You see, one should always believe in himself.
