Friday，June 6th，happens to be National Donut （甜甜圈）Day．Since the only way to celebrate this important holiday is by eating the sweet rings，you really have no choice but to eat up a few or even more than ten!
And while it may sound like a special celebration dreamt up by donut factories to increase sales，the idea of the holiday can be followed a11 the way back to World War One．In 1917．when women volunteers were sent to look after injured US soldiers，they noticed how homesick the men were．To try to cheer them up，the women decided to make donuts for the soldiers．Not surprisingly，the treats worked well!
In 1938，when the"Great Depression"（大萧条）happened to the country，volunteers from Chicago spent a day selling fresh donuts．However this time around it was not just to cheer up American people，but also to raise money for the charity（慈善）The event was such a success that it is now celebrated every year by the whole country，on the first Friday of June．What's even better is that this year．Dunkin Donuts is giving away free donuts with drink，making it the first World Donut Day!Many stores take part in this fun tradition，so be sure to check if you are ready to give out free treats!
If you're among the few persons that don't like the taste of donuts，you can celebrate by selling donuts to your friends and family and giving money to charily like volunteers．It is after all thanks to them，that we have this fun tradition．

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.
What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”
Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naughtiest boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s the power of our belief and attitude toward children.The professor started his research by _______.
| A．teaching the five children himself |

What does the passage mainly tell us？
| A．Attitude and belief can change a person. |
| B．Only teachers can make you a top student. |
| C．A professor’s study can help you score highest. |
| D．If you want to get more，you should have new teachers. |
