After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症).When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming(克服)difficulties and going for my dreams. I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Clearly, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me. When we finished talking, I pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming difficulties than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You won that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.” Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick, My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can. I told you someday that I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me. Your friend, Matthew

The students are quieting down in their seats. The teacher begins to give lessons. Then she asks a question for the class to answer, and the students all react in separate ways.
Each student is special with different strengths and weaknesses. Because of this fact, different students learn differently. While some may learn by quickly answering the teacher's question, speaking up with ease and comfort, others may learn just as well by listening to their classmates and teacher speak. These students should not be punished for learning the way they do, but when teachers grade class participation (参与), that is exactly what they are doing.
According to a survey carried out by Bonnie M. Miller, a professor at University of Massachusetts Boston, 60%of her students believe that grading participation does not encourage them to participate more in class. They feel more comfortable expressing their thoughts if they know what they say will not be given a number later on.
Some other students believe that when class participation is graded, teachers are awarding outgoing students while punishing shy ones. Grading class participation sends the message that shy students are not good students. It makes them feel like they should be outgoing, loud, and able to learn by talking, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
In my experience with classes where class participation was graded, I felt difficult to do well. For example, instead of being able to fully focus on what my teacher and classmates said, my mind would race with the things that I could possibly share in the class discussion. Either I would be too slow in raising my hand, or feel too nervous to lift it at all. Imagining my falling grades, wishing that I could somehow be a more outgoing person, suddenly my thoughts would be interrupted by the sound of my classmates getting up to leave, and I would realize that I learned nearly nothing that class.
What's more, by focusing on the students who talk the most in class, teachers fail to award students who may be good listeners-a skill that is as important as being able to talk in front of a group of people.
Teachers can increase class participation by providing different ways of grading participation that are acceptable to different personalities and learning ways. For example, they can give students opportunities to write their ideas.
Most importantly, teachers should create classrooms where students want to learn.
1.According to the passage, in a class where participation is graded, ________.
A.most students are likely to act actively
B.some students feel stressed to be who they are
C.students are forced to listen to their classmates
D.students are encouraged to learn the way they prefer
2.The writer talks about his own experience in Paragraph 5 to explain ________.
A.why students care much about grades
B.why listening is as important as speaking up
C.how grading participation influences learning process
D.how students feel when preparing for speaking up in class3
3.What's the writer's main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To remind teachers of the importance of grading properly in class.
B.To tell students the effect their personalities have on learning.
C.To encourage teachers to keep students active in class.
D.To provide students with ways to participate in class.

In 2015, US actress Brie Larson took home the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the movie Room. These days, the 29-year-old is standing her ground as a superhero.
Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, in the movie of the same name. As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as light. The movie has become a huge success.
When Larson was offered the role, she didn’t accept it at the beginning. "I am not a person with much confidence. So, I needed a little bit of time to see if I can do it…" she said. Larson is no stranger to Hollywood, but it’s one thing to win an Oscar and another thing totally to star in a Marvel movie. She had no idea about playing a superhero. There would be lots of promotional (推广) interviews. Facing all of these, she decided to go out of comfort zone (舒适区). "I was gonna push myself to do things that I never thought I could do. I challenged myself." she said.
Larson trained for nine months. She learned kungfu, practiced weightlifting and so on. But the biggest challenge was that she had to work with a cat — an animal that she was afraid of. "I was sick the whole time, but I insisted to work with it by myself. I was fine."
Varity magazine spoke highly of her acting. By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and turned them into confidence. Even just watching her recent interviews, one can tell from her body language that she had found something she didn’t have much before.
