When I entered Berkley, I hoped to win a scholarship(奖学金). As a Straight-A student all the way through, I believed I could take tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was very interested in the ideas he taught in class.
When I took the first exam, I was shocked to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, for English was always my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my 75 but he refused to do anything about it.
I decided to try harder, 76 I didn?t know what that meant because school always seemed easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn?t 77 .
One more test before the final exam. So I worked even harder and, for the first time, learned the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my effort did no good and 78 stayed as before.
The last chance was the final. No matter what grade I got, it wouldn?t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the scholarship goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even relaxed to a 79 . The next day I decided for once I?d have fun with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne?s office. He seemed to be expecting me. “If I gave you the grade as you 80 , you wouldn?t continue to work hard.”
I stared at him, realizing what he said was correct. I had worked my head off, as I had never done

It is never easy when a friend doesn?t tell the truth. This is something that hurts the person who has been lied to and f 81 it ends up hurting the person who did the lying as well. Lying is never something that is easy to forget or even to forgive. But it is something that you should try to understand so that you can be a better friend.
Usually, friends lie because of the way that they are feeling. If a friend feels inferior to(比……差) another person, he might make up stories so that he can get more a 82 . If your friend is lying to you for this reason, it might be a good idea to talk to your friend and make him understand that he doesn?t need to feel that way.
There are times when a friend might lie to try not getting into trouble. For example, if a friend knows he has been doing something you d 83 , or if he now regrets what he has said or done, he might want to lie about it so that you won?t be angry with him. The best way to deal with this situation is to get to the bottom of what might have happened, and make sure that you are being h 84 with your friend about everything that you do and the fact that lying hurts.
S 85 , a friend lies for other reasons. One of these reasons might be to protect your feelings. For example, he might lie about h 86 silly you look or what stupid words you have said. You must decide if truthfulness(真实) is more important than your feelings in this type of situation.
Many times, friends don?t lie to hurt each other. Perhaps they know that the truth might make you mad at them, and they just don?t want to lose your f 87 . The best way to deal with lying is to talk to your friends calmly, and get the truth.
