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 prefer not to take the___.’
Many students thanked the teacher and left. The teacher looked at the remaining students and said, ‘Does anyone else want to get a ‘B’? This is your last Two more students decided to go.
Seven students remained. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just been an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believing in .
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not in what they have learned are ‘B’ students at best (充其量).
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 learned life’s lessons, not only from normal education, from events in their lives, and have become people. You see, one should always believe in himself.

Cities Shanghai and Nanjing have been covered by the gray sky for the past several days. Many walkers in the street had to wear . In the Lukou airport in Nanjing， more than 60 flights were canceled(取消) on Saturday the haze， which also made primary and middle schools and kindergartens stop on Thursday and Friday in Nanjing.
The office worker of Environmental Protection said earlier this week that there were several reasons behind the widespread haze： unpleasant weather conditions making difficult for smog to disappear， automobile exhaust(尾气)， and coal use for winter heating.
To fight pollution， the Chinese government now plans to clean up the air by cutting coal use， some factories， and removing 6 million old cars from the roads.
“We must face up to the facts，” said Yan Naiqiang， a professor of environmental science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. “The treatment of smog will be a long fight. From now on， if we use buses or cars less and do more riding， we believe a clear sky is not a faraway dream.”

How often do you exercise? A new study found that one third of the kids from 12 to 15 weren’t getting enough physical activity. The results were about 800 kids.
Doctors suggested an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the , only 1 in 4 of the US kids exercised enough.
Few in the survey met the doctors’ ideas about physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes people become . However, most of those kids said they did less than an hour of exercise the week before. Overall, about 25% they got an hour of that kind of hard exercise every day. Kids reported they usually did most of the activities outside of school gym class---- for boys and running for girls.
The study found that teens were less active than normal-weight girls and boys. Overweight girls were kind of less active than normal-weight girls, levels were similar among overweight and usual-weight boys. The study also said that the obesity rate for children aged 2 to19 17%, or about 12.5 million kids.
“There’s always room for improvement,” said Tala Fakhouri, was the lead writer of the report. She also said the results provided useful information to fitness campaigns such as Let’s Move, which was started by the First Lady Michelle Obama in 2010. To encourage kids to eat right and get in shape, the First Lady schools and held exercise events. She also called on schools to offer regular classes.

I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.
“Excuse me,”
I looked up and a nice-looking woman standing before me.
“Is your name Roger?” asked.
“Yes,” I answered, feeling rather confused(迷惑) as I had never seen her before.
“My name’s Barbara and my is Tony, “she he said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was and weak.
“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida.” She added.
I looked at that man for a few seconds, I didn’t recognize(认识) him.
“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell,”I said.
She walked back, began with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.
I ordered breakfast and a cup of , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.
“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could believe my eyes. “Jesus! He’ s so thin now. Not the big boy that I from back in 1977.”
Everything came up to my mind. The time this boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself a big man to all other students.
“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin trembling hand. “I am so sorry for that I did to you.”
“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know what to to him.
After a few months later, I received a letter from Barbara. Tony was . Tony had been a fireman and had been seriously wounded in a task.
How I regretted for not saying something to him but I no longer had the chance!
