By my eighth grade, I was a kid who felt unsafe, unloved and pretty angry at life. In other words, I behaved badly in school. However, my teacher, Ms. Simon, of course, thought that I was blind to this problem because she always reminded me, “Henry, you are the worst behaved child in this school”
Needless to say, the eighth grade was probably the worst year of my life. Good thing was that I was allowed to go to the ninth grade. But Ms. Simon’s words were always ringing in my ears.
The first day I entered the ninth grade, my teacher, Miss Brown, began to call our names. And it wasn’t long before she came to my name. “Henry,” she called out, looking from her list to where I was sitting. She looked at me carefully for a moment, and then said, “I’ve heard a lot about you.” Then she smiled and added, “But I don’t believe a word of it!”
To be honest, that moment was a turning point, not only in my education, but also in my life. Suddenly, unexpectedly, someone believed in me. For the first time in my life, someone saw potential(潜力) in me. Miss Brown often gave me little jobs to do. She invited me to stay after school to work on my reading and math. She challenged me to let her down. So I studied really hard that even my own father couldn’t believe that I was changing.
What made me the difference between the eighth grade and ninth grade? It was that risky, because there was no promise that I would honor Ms. Brown’s trust.

Scientists have found a new use for children’s imaginations(想象力)—to make Stomachaches go away. The BBC reports a new study that shows: “Children can be taught to use their Imaginations to deal with stomachaches.” This may be very good news for parents who need a quick cure for their sick children.
Any mother or father understands the stomach problem is one of the most frequent(时常发生的) things their children complain about. Around twenty percent of children suffer from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a reason for.
This new research is especially good for kids with active imaginations. Researchers found that the more creative the child is, the better he or she is at imagining the pain away.
The researchers used a relaxing CD with children. A voice guided them through different fantasy(幻想) situations. One of these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the tests. Half of them used the “guided imagery” method, and the other half received normal medicines. Researchers found 73.3 percent of the CD users reported a reduction in pain. This compared to only 26.7 percent of kids who got normal treatment.
Study leader Dr Miranda Tilburg was very excited about her findings. She believed that it was a very cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches. She said it would not work as well with adults.
The new study may be good news for those who____________.

A．have less imaginations

B．don’t know how to relax

C．want to stop their kids’ stomachaches in a short time

D．can find why children suffer from stomachaches

B．Children complain about their learning problems most frequently.

C．The more creative the child is, the less likely he or she is to have a stomachache.

D．30 children received normal medicines in the tests.

A．adults can also use their imaginations to make stomachaches go away

B．Dr Miranda Tilburg wasn’t pleased with her findings

C．the normal cure for stomachaches will not be used
