    A professor(教授) told his students to go into the city slums(贫民窟) to study the life of 200 boys. He asked them to write reports about each boy's life and future. One of the students wrote, “They don't have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} hope．”

    Twenty-five years later，{#blank#}2{#/blank#} professor read about the earlier study. He told his students to find out {#blank#}3{#/blank#} had happened to the boys. They tried very hard and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that 176 of the boys had become successful as doctors, teachers and scientists.

    The professor was very surprised and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to study it further．Luckily, all of them were living near the place and he was able to ask each one, “What made you successful? ” Each one answered, “It was a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . ”

    The teacher was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} living there, so the professor found her and asked the old woman what she had done to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} those boys out of the slums, and change them into  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people.

    The teacher's eyes began to shine and said {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a sweet smile, “It's really very easy. I love those boys. ”

     When I was in Grade 7, I used to spend too much time chatting online at night. The next day, I often felt{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(困倦的) in class, I couldn't listen to teachers carefully and I couldn't {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (重复) correctly what the teachers told me. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（几乎不） understood what they taught in class. That was why so much homework couldn't {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(做) by me because of my terrible situation at that time. And my mother always {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(警告) me of the importance of my schoolwork. From then on, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(开始)studying for my most important exam in my life. I have realized that it's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（愚蠢的）of me to do that. I listen carefully in class every day. At night I read some books after finishing the homework to be knowledgeable. I feel like studying with my teachers and classmates I'm the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（主人）of myself. I have made a little progress and I think I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(赢了) the war against my laziness. I'm no longer a fool , which once worried my parents a lot in the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(过去).

      There is an old saying: He who laughs last laughs best. I hope I could enter my ideal high school.
