Question

A professor(教授) from a university did a famous study in a school. At the start of the school year, the teachers got the names of five children. The school told the teachers that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average（一般水平）students scored among the highest in the class.

    What made these average students change so much to become top students? 56. The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude(態度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.

    Do you know? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best.     Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest(最頑皮的) boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. 57. 后來，約翰尼成為了一個好學生。 Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children.
