Why do you study? Many students would simply reply： "To get good result in the college entrance examination (高考)." For several years， many have spoken out against the exams. Some say they have turned children into studying machines. Others think that one exam cannot possibly demonstrate a student's true level of knowledge. So， should the exams be canceled?

Minister of Education Yuan Guiren doesn't think so. "Officials and the rich might take advantage(受益) if the college entrance examination were called off(取消). And life would be more difficult for poor children. However， we do need to change the exams，" Yuan said on March 7. He has put an exam reforms at the center of his fourth year in office. "I think the exam is a fair way to choose talented people. But it should pay more attention to all-around(全面的) personal qualities， not just grades，" said Cui Shangyu， a Senior 3 student in Sichuan. The college entrance examination was restored(恢复) in 1977. From then to 2007， 46.85 million people have entered higher education through the exam. According to survey by the Ministry of Education， 90 percent of people who participate(参加) believed the college entrance examination could in some way change a person's life， especially for poor students in the countryside. The college entrance examination is not the only way to become a successful person. However， the process of preparing for the exam is a good experience， said Shen Hui， a Math teacher at Gaoyou Middle School in Jiangsu.

"Through it students can learn many things， such as how to deal with stress(压力) and how to arrange a learning plan." Shen said.

Many years ago my student asked me a question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered, “Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.”

Even though the words came from my heart, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it go. “Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?”　 He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away. I knew he didn’t understand. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or wise.

Even though that student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach: It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled（逐渐灌输）in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.

Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone into a pond（池塘）, the ripples（波纹）go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone”. Good teachers throw stones that make a good difference, and that’s what I try to do.

I love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid making mistakes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do it, too. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
