“Where there is a will, there is a way.” Perhaps not many students can understand this better than 22-year-old Michael Ha. Because of his story of success, he has become an example of young people.
Michael Ha was born in a very poor family. His parents worked in Vietnam before they moved to Britain in 1980. They couldn’t find work in Britain because they spoke little English. The whole family had to live on benefits(救济金) and they lived in a small house in Hackney, a poor area in East London. Growing up is not easy for Michael, but he never gave up.
At the age of ten, he set his heart on going to Cambridge University. It was not easy, either. Michael studied at a school, which used to be called “the worst school in Britain”. However, young Michael made his mind to try his best, no matter what kind of school he was studying at. The smart boy studied very hard and did well in every subject at school. Once he made a bet with his friend to learn further math. As a result, after just spending four months teaching himself from a textbook, he got an A in AS-level further math.
Now Michael is the star medical student in John’s College, Cambridge and has just won an award for his excellent grades. He hopes he will be an inspiration for other young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.When was Michael born？

根据短文,判断句子正误，正确的在答题卡上涂A, 错误的在答题卡上涂B
People go to school for education. School education is very important and useful, but no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his student everything. His work is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by students themselves.
It’s always more important to know how to learn by oneself than to learn some facts or formulas （公式）by heart. It’s quite easy to learn some facts in history or a formula in math, but it’s very difficult to use them. Edison and Einstein didn’t get everything from school, but they were all successful. They invented so many things. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read many books outside school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. The most important thing is that they know how to use their brains（大脑）。Everyone can learn everything from school.
To learn some facts in history or a formula in math isn’t very difficult.
Edison and Einstein didn’t read many books outside school.
It’s very important for a teacher to show his students how to learn.
The reason for Edison and Einstein success is that they knew how to study.
