Have you thought of such questions as “Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an engineer.Should I give history up?”
Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it’s necessary for you to understand such things. Please remember that at school, besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things.
First, try to find what you are most interested in. At school, you study many subjects. Try to find which you like and which you don’t like. This may be helpful to you in the future. Second, maybe you don’t like math and you want to drop it. But the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems. At school, you should practice your brain by thinking. Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn English at school, but you don’t need to speak English in your daily life at all. You should think learning English can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go to France one day and find a job there. Then you can tell yourself, “I can do my job well. At school I learned English well, and now I must be able to learn French well, too.” But if you have no confidence, what will happen?
Try to challenge yourself as often as possible. I think many of us like playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. Why? Because we want to get the highest marks, though it is hard for us to get it. If we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greatest progress.At school you should _________.
| A．study math harder than any other subject |
| B．stop learning the subjects you don’t like |
| C．not only get knowledge but also improve your ability |
| D．pay mor e attention to math |
You should not drop math because it can help improve your ________.
| A．ability of learning languages |
| B．ability of finding a job |
| C．interest in other subjects |
| D．ability of logical thinking |

| A．You’ll use everything you learn at school in the future |
| B．It’s not necessary to know what you like at school. |
| C．Everything you learn at school has some influence on you |
| D．Logical thinking ability is the most important ability |
Learning Engl ish well can help someone ________.
| A．have confidence in learning languages |
