30、of study. But the way to test a student's knowledge and ability still remains as poor as it was, We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system. It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a student's memory, but it can tell you n

31、othing about a student's ability. It does no good to students and teachers. As soon as a child begins school, he enters a world of examination that will decide his future of job. In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself. But it now does nothing about that. So

32、 students are encouraged to member what is taught. It does not enable them to gain more and note knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies. Besides, the examinations often force teachers to train students what to do with the coming exami

Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, a

37、n amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer.

38、t married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantasticand very emotional.

But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each

40、semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them.
