7.For a long time,a boy wondered why his friend was always the first in the class,while he could only be the 21st.
At home,he asked his mom:"Am I more stupid than other kids?How can I always fall behind?I just can't come up with an answer."Mom realised that her son's self-respect had been damaged by the ranking system,but she didn't know what to say to help.
She wanted to say that intelligence is different and that her son's friend really was the smarter boy.But that would so upset her son.Thank goodness,she stopped herself from saying it.
The son and his friend went on to high school that year,but although he tried as hard as he could,his friend still outdid him.But the mother was proud of her boy for his hard work,sincerely proud.It was around this time that she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside.On the trip,she at last found an answer for him.
Today her son no longer cares about rankings.He doesn't have to,for he himself is now the top of the class at the top national university where he studies.After university his teachers and peers fully expect him to have a bright future..
Invited to speak to his old high school,he mentioned a valuable childhood experience.It was about that holiday his mother had prepared for them:"Once,on a trip to the sea,my mother and I were lying on the beach.She pointed to the sea and said to me:Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there?When a wave comes near,the little birds rise quickly.The clumsy(笨拙的) seagulls are far slower and have to struggle to get away from the wave.But these clumsy birds prove to have the biggest,strongest wings,which allow the bird to travel the furthest.When the season changes,they leave for foreign shores,leaving the little birds behind.Son,I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls."

25.The story mainly tells us thatD.
A.competition between students is good for their development.
B.Ranking system just hurts students'self-respect
C.only struggling can help you succeed
D.parents can help to build up children's self-respect
26.From the 2nd paragraph,we can see thatB.

B.the mother saw some bad effects of the ranking system
C.the mother knew her son did very badly in his study
D.the mother felt angry for her son's bad behavior.
27.We can infer from the passage thatD.
A.the son knew intelligence didn't mean everything
B.the son did not rely on his mother for help
C.the son would forget his rankings soon after leaving high school
D.the mother was careful to protect her son's self-respect
