Do you believe in yourself? When you are in trouble, don’t say you can’t get over it. Believe in your dreams. Believe that you are loved. Believe that you make a difference. I was told a story about a teacher who once did what he could his students get to know the importance of believing in themselves.
The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know howyou 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 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 .” Two more students decided to go.
Only seven students were still in the classroom. The teacher then the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believing in yourselves.
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not confident in what they have learned are ‘B’ students .对他们已经所学的东西不是自信的学生最多是B类学生。
The same is in our daily life. The ‘A’ students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have both successes and failures.

Grow deep roots
When I was young, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He ____invited us to play in this yard, but he was a very kind person.
Dr. Gibbs had some ___ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants would spoil them. If you watered them, each young tree would grow weaker and weaker. So you had to make things difficult for them and __the weaker trees early.
He talked about how watered trees grew shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in ____of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. When I came back home, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about 25 years ago. They were very big and strong. I planted some trees a few years later and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blow in, they ___a lot.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I hope that their lives will be ___. But now it’s time to change my thought . I know my children are going to face difficulties. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is get roots that reach deep into the brave heart. When the rains fall and the winds blow, we can face them strongly and won't be beaten down.
