　　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．”

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe (欧洲).In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example.The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made ＄100 million.In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about ＄20 million a year to buy things through these channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day.Then the governme

nt allowed (允许) more telepshopping.Other channels can open for telebusiness, including (包括) the largest American teleshopping company and a 24?hour teleshopping company.German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes .With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason.But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.They call teleshopping “junk (垃圾) on the air”.Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV.Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell.They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
