On Sunday it was sunny. More than ten people were standing on the airport waiting for the challenge for skydiving (跳伞). Suddenly, with the help of a guide dog, a blind man was coming with a parachute (降落伞n.; 空降v.) on his back.

“Do you also come for the parachute training?” someone asked. “Yes!” the blind man replied in a loud voice. All the people looked at him in surprise.” I know. Do you think how a blind man can parachute?” The blind man said cheerfully. “Yes, how can you parachute?” Seeing the blind was so cheerful, they asked quickly.

“It’s not difficult. I will parachute like you. Although I’m a blind man. I can hear. When I hear the order for skydiving, I will carry my guide dog to follow you one by one. The coach says, counting two five from the moment I jumped down, I can open the parachute. And I know when I to fall to the ground is the most dangerous moment in skydiving. But it’s very simple for me. When my guide dog is scared into crying loudly and the rope in my hand become light, I’ll prepare for falling to the ground.” said the blind man quietly.

After the challenge, the coach told everyone,” In this training, Robert gets the highest scoring for he is the most standard and placid (从容的) action.” “Who is Robert?” They asked simultaneously.

“He,” said the coach, pointing the young blind man.

On the first day of school, Socrates (苏格拉底) told his students. “Today, we’ll only learn one thing, that is to stretch (前伸) for your arms, then try to swings (甩动) them backward.” He showed them and as a result all the students laughed. “Sir, is it also learned?” one of the students laughed.

“Of course! You think this is a simple thing, but it is difficult.” Socrates replied seriously. Hearing this, the students laughed even harder.

Without being a little angry, Socrates said, “In this class I’ll teach you how to learn this action well. After that, start today, and you will do it 100 times a day.”

10 days later, Socrates asked, “Who still stick to swing his arms?” About 80% of the students raised their hands. 20 days later, Socrates asked, “Who still insists (坚持) on swings his arms?” About 50% of them raised their hands. 3 months later, Socrates asked again, “Who still insist on that most simple action of swinging?” This time only one student raised his hand. He was Plato (柏拉图).

Perseverance is the simplest yet most difficult thing in the world, because everyone can do it, but not everyone will do. Only the one who can hold on a simple thing may make it.

You’re going to a senior high school, aren’t you? Maybe you are common student. You probably think you will never be a top student. But anyone can be a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s some advice on how to be a good student.

Manage your time carefully. It’s good to keep a habit of planning your time every day. It’s very useful to know what you will do. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. Then you should make a schedule(行程安排)of your time for eating, sleeping, studying and even amusements.

Make use of your time. Listen to everything the teacher say in class. Listening carefully in class means less work later. Don’t forget to take notes. It will help you remember what the teacher says. Be sure to put your heart into the book, and you will get more from it. If you read absentmindedly(心不在焉), you get nothing from the book.

Develop good attitudes. You should build up friendship. Try to make more friends. And you can meet new people find new friends and even talk to people you don’t like. You never know what will happen in the future. Have a healthy eating habits. Try different kinds of food and get enough fruit and vegetables.
