of over 110 points (out of 120 possible points) on his math tests. But during last semester's final exams,
his math score was only 90 points.
It was a shock. "I didn't know what happened,"said Lin, who kept feeling nervous and frustrated (沮丧
的)about math during the following month..
Like Lin, many of us have setbacks (挫折) in life. What would you do to deal with these setbacks?
Would you just let them be and give up?
Lin chose to face his problem. His parents and teacher also gave him help. After some hard work he now
gets marks between 100 and110 points on his math tests. Although he still isn't at his original (原来的) level,
Lin doesn't panic anymore.
"Don't be scared by setbacks," he said. "You will beat it."
Chen Xingzhu in Shenzhen also has a story to tell. The 15-year-old girl is not good at doing sit-ups (仰卧
起坐), which is necessary for the coming high school PE entrance exam (体育中考). One has to do at least
35 sit-ups in a minute to pass the test. Most of Chen's classmates can do 40. However, Chen could only do
20.
Feeling worried, Chen decided to do something. She did sit-ups for half an hour every day after school.
Now, after a month, she can do 30 sit-ups a minute.
"I finally found what made me slow through continuous (持续的) practice and then improved little by
little," said Chen. "I believe next month I will be able to do 40!"

So his mother took his child to the hospital. The doctor looked up his nose. She put a tiny steel rod(钢棒) into his nose and felt the paper. She said she would have to cut his nose to get the paper out.
The child’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. He was a handsome boy and the cut would make him ugly.
Next day, the child’s mother took him to her friend Sidney. Sidney lived in a house with an old woman called May. She asked to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose. He closed his eyes.
“Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon!”
As she spoke, she shook black pepper on the child’s nose. He gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told her to take the boy to the sea for a swim. She said the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.
So the child didn’t have to go to the hospital and gave his nose cut.

Last summer vacation, I volunteered to work at a vet’s(兽医诊所). There I saw a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Short thin curly hair covered her sausage-shaped(香肠形)body. Her eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rat’s tail.
She was brought to the vet because her owners didn’t want her any more. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though. “No one should judge her by her looks,”I thought. Finally, I advertised Minnie in the local paper. “Funny-looking dog, well-behaved, needs a loving family.”
When a boy called, I warned him that Minnie was strange-looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car pulled up in front of the vet’s. Two kids raced to the door. They picked Minnie up and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie. Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair. She licked(舔)his face. Her tail wagged(摇摆)around so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body.
“She’s perfect!”the old man said happily.
I was thankful that Minnie had found a good home.
Suddenly, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color—he was blind.
