For more than 1,300 years in feudal China, a system of the imperial examination (科举制度) was used to select government officials． Here is a story about a student taking the imperial examination．

One day, on his way to the capital to sit the final imperial examination, a young man spent a night at an old temple． After supper, he had an interesting conversation with an old monk (和尚) there．

The monk said that people thought everything in the world is either male or female, and he asked his guest how to tell the male of seawater or trees from the female． The young man thought it over but couldn’t come up with an answer．

The monk then explained that for the seawater, billows (巨浪) are male and waves are female because males are usually bigger than females． For trees, the pine (松) tree is male because the Chinese character for it contains a male radical (部首), and the plum（梅子) tree is female because it has a female component (成分) in the word．

The student found the answer interesting but not very excellent．

However, it happened that the title of the thesis (论文) for the imperial examination that year was On the Gender of All Things in the World．

So, the student quoted what the monk said in his thesis． Surprisingly, he not only passed the examination but came in first．

The young man was so grateful to the old monk that he later presented the man with a tablet (匾) with the words, “To chat with you for one night is better than to study for 10 years．”

A．He didn’t all agree with the monk．      B．He completely agreed with the monk．

C．He agreed none of what the monk said．       D．He thought what the monk said was boring．

26．What can we infer from the passage?

A．It’s difficult for us to succeed without the help of others．

B．The more you communicate with others, the easier it is to succeed．

C．It’s hard for people to become a government official in feudal China．

Have you heard of mental toughness? Often talked about in relation to sports, mental toughness is characterized by the ability to always perform well under stress． Research has shown that it is also a useful quality (品质) for students, with benefits for school achievement, classroom behavior, and relationships with others．

However, mental toughness is often misunderstood． It is sometimes related to hiding your feelings, or not acknowledging (承认) your weaknesses, which can harm student well-being, as well as school performance and socializing．

So, what actually is mental toughness, and how can it be developed in schools?

Students who show mental toughness are aware of and able to control their emotions． This helps them to think clearly under stress, on the day of exams for example． One way to help with this is to encourage students to talk to themselves in a positive and helpful way． Students may be upset if they don’t do as well on a task as they hoped． By asking themselves questions, such as “What would I do differently next time?”, they can stop focusing on the negatives and direct their attention towards improving in the future．

Mental toughness means asking for help． Many students are too ashamed to do it, for fear they would show weakness by acknowledging they don’t understand something． However, others actually consider it a positive quality． Recognizing when they are experiencing difficulties takes courage for students, but it also shows a willingness to learn and get better．

Mental toughness is also about being open to learning, not being a know-it-all． Over time, the students who grow the most are those who like to explore things, looking for answers in books, online, or by paying attention to what’s happening around them． They also work together, helping each other with challenges．

What’s more, mental toughness involves having a strong sense of self-belief and confidence in one’s abilities． Mentally tough students have a clear idea of their goals, and their wills to achieve them are unwavering． They are not easily influenced by others’ opinions and are willing to step outside of their comfort zone to reach their goals．

To create mentally tough students and classrooms, it is important for teachers themselves to be role models． Teachers can develop their mental toughness in much the same way as students． In order to develop mental toughness, both students and teachers should recognize that it is about having positive behaviors and attitudes that help them learn and improve．

A．you kept your sadness inside without telling others
