When I entered Berkeley,I hoped to earn a scholarship.Having been a Straight-A student,I believed I could take tough subjects and really learn something.One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne.I was extremely interested in the ideas he presented in class.When I took the first exam,I was shocked to find a 77,C-plus,on my test paper,for English was my best subject.I went to Professor Jayne,who listened to my arguments but remained unmoved.I decided to try harder,although I didn't know what that means because school had always been 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 change his mind.One more test before the final exam.One more chance to improve my grade.So I redoubled my efforts and,for the first time,learned the meaning of the word "thorough".But my effort did no good and everything went as before.The last hurdle 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 head.I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would.The night before the final,I even treated myself to a movie.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 As you expected,you wouldn't continue to work as hard." I stared at him,realizing that his analysis and strategy were correct.I had worked my head off,as I had never done before.I was speechless when my course grade arrived:A-plus.It was the only A-plus given.The next year I received my scholarship.I've always remembered Professor Jayne's lesson:you alone must set your own standard of excellence

我停下工作头.我觉得我知道的课程材料以及我曾经.决赛前一晚,我甚至对自己的电影.第二天我决定一旦我有乐趣与测试.一个星期后,我惊讶地发现我得了A,我匆匆走进Jayne教授的办公室.他似乎在等我.”如果我给了你你预期的,你就不会继续努力工作.”我瞪着他,意识到他的分析和策略是正确的.我已经工作过了头,因为我从来没有做过的事情.我无语当我的课程等级到达：A+.这是唯一的A+了.下一年我拿到了奖学金.我一直记得Jayne教授的课：你必须独自设定自己富于挑战的标准.
