During the trip, I often find that a number of Chinese often break the rules in public. For example, when I traveled in Hong Kong this year, I saw a kid eating noodles on the underground, which was against the rules. However, the kids mother didnt think she did wrong. Can you believe it? Lets improve our public manners.Mike, Shanghai These days, were asked to clear our plates when having our meals and say no to wasting.

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(中等)，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 teachersattitude(态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) 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, theyll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and youll make him even worse. But treat a person like hes already a success，and youll 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，youre the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class. Im sure youll 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, Ive heard a lot about you! But do you know that I dont 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 thats the power of our belief(信任) and attitude(态度) toward children.（1）The professor started his research(研究)by _.A . teaching the five children himselfB . asking the five children to find a new teacherC . telling the five students to work harder than ever beforeD . telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class（2）The five average students became top students mainly because of _.A . the professors studyB . the teachers hard workC . the change in the teachers attitudeD . the change in the professors attitude（3）Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny？A .

If you want to get more，you should have new teachers.B . A professors study can help you score highest.C . Only teachers can make you a top student.D .
