【题目】 At my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there. I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to seventh grade, everyone would be surprised by me.

But actually they weren't.

When I arrived at my new class, I couldn't wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there was always someone else who could do better than me. My grades began to get worse I needed to actually study for my tests. I believed I wasn't smart. I believed I wasn't talented. I believed I was a failure.

Over the next two years. I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades was still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.

I haven't realized until recently that I really don't have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me.

No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are about seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that's really okay.

【题目】 An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside river. They were disputing which was the better animal

"Look at my strength, "said the elephant. "I can pull up a tree, roots and all, with my trunk"

“Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine, "replied the crocodile. "No knife or tooth can cut through it.”

Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass.

"My dear friends !" said the King of all animals, going up to them. "Let me know the cause of your disagreement

“Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal? "cried both at once.

Certainly, "said the lion, pointing across the river. "Do you see the soldiers metal hat on that wall?”

“Yes! "replied the beasts.

“Well, then, "continued the lion, " go and get it, and bring it to me, and I shall be able then to decide between you.”

Upon hearing this, off they started,, The crocodile, being used to the water, reached the opposite side of the river first, and was soon standing beside the wall.

They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast-moving crocodile in the water and became careless. When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch, the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dived, and brought it up in his huge mouth. They then returned, and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet. The King took it up, and turning to the elephant, said:

“You, because of your size and trunk, were able to reach the hat on the wall but, having lost it, you were unable to get it back.
