old, i played the role of the turtle in a play organized by my older sister. i had one line at the end, when i beat the sleeping rabbit to the finish line: slow and steady wins the race.ive always felt that those words guided my career.i was never the fastest; i was rarely an a student.but as the careers of otherspaused, i kept going. my goal was always the same: to learn more this year than i had last year.when i see slow students, thats what i think of. are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime, and leave the “quick” students far behind? the goal of education is not to gain as much knowledge as quickly as possible, but to gain useful knowledge and keep it.as such, i would prefer a slow, thoughtful student to a fast, superficial one. as a teacher, i don t care how “fast” someone learns something. we process information differently. to use myself as an example, i tended to be comparatively slow in my advanced undergraduate mathematics classes. inretrospect, ive come to realize that one of the ways i learn is “error-based.”that is, i effectively learn by making mistakes.i seldom worried about “slow learners” when teaching medical students. i knew these young men and women could learn. like in so many other professions, knowledge is only a part of being a doctor. i spent decades learning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving. it never stops, and never should.24. for what purpose did the author write the first paragraph? a. to share with readers one of his unforgettable childhood experiences. b. to prove that slow learners tend to have a better long-term memory. c. to introduce the topic that continuous efforts are the final marker of success. d. to show the authors preference for the role of turtle .25.

flexibility at solving problems.d. the willingness to try different new things.26. which of the following best describes the author s belief?a. constant dripping wears away a stone.b. content is better than riches.c. more haste, less speed.d. learning makes a good man better and an evil man worsecwhile there are still many people who dont feel comfortable using a credit card to buy over the
