The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. ‘I know how 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 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 handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believe in .
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is test that any teacher could give. Students who are not in what they have learned are ‘B’ students at most.
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. They have got life’s lessons, not only from normal education, but from events in their , and have become
people. You see, one should always believe in himself.

I used to have little passion（激情，热情）in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how it is to have a passion in life.
That day I went home in Mom’s car. When Mom at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed rags. He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.
But this man was in some way. He was not sitting down with a expression. Instead, he had a in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing he had.
“Mom, why does that man have a radio he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He it, “ she replied.
“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He something that he didn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”
That man must care so much about that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that is the key to life.
Since then I am always thinking of is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes – these things are part of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light on a day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.
