Question

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student(優(yōu)等生), I believed I could 1tough(=hard) subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he2in class.
When I took the first exam, I was3to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper,4English was my best subject. I went to reason with Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained5.
I decided to try harder, although I didn't know what that 6because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I 7with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn't change his8.
One more test before the final exam. One more 9to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts(加倍努力) and, for the first time, 10the meaning of the word "thorough"(徹底的).But my 11did no good and everything 12as before.
The last hurdle(障礙)was the final. No matter what 13I got, it wouldn't cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 14goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 15myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I'd have 16with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne's office. He 17to be expecting me. "If I gave you the As you 18, you wouldn't continue to work as hard."
I stared at him, 19that his analysis and strategy(策略)were correct. I had worked my head 20, as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I've always remembered Professor Jayne's lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
