Do you believe in yourself? When you are in trouble, don’t say you can’t get over it. Believe in your dreams. Believe that you are loved. Believe that you make a difference. I was told a story about a teacher who once did what he could his students get to know the importance of believing in themselves.
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 the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believing in yourselves.
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not confident in what they have learned are ‘B’ students .对他们已经所学的东西不是自信的学生最多是B类学生。
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 , not only from normal education, but from events in their lives, and have become better people. You see, one should always believe in himself.A. to make B. make C. making

Music forms an important part of many cultural and social activities. People use music to feeling and ideas. Music also serves to entertain(娱乐) and relax.
Music is a performing art. It differs from such art as painting and poetry, in which artists create works and then display or publish them. Music composers(作曲家) need musicians to explain the meaning of their works --- perform them. Thus, musical performances are partnership between composers and performers.
Music is one of the arts. Hunting tools struck together may have been the first musical instruments. Many ancient people, including the Egyptians, Chinese and Babylonians, and the people of India, used music in court and religious ceremonies(宗教仪式). The first written music dates from about 2500 B.C.
Classical music, also art music, is composed according to certain rules and performed by musicians from written music. Classical composers have written different styles of music during different periods of .
Popular music includes many kinds of music, country music, jazz, rock music and music from films. Popular music is generally much simpler than classical music.
Folk music is made up of the old songs. Most folk songs began in distant areas. One person makes up a song and other people it and learn to sing it. Some folk songs have been passed on in this way for thousands of years. Many composers of classical music have used folk music in their works.
