When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight A student, I believed I could   16   tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he     17    in class.

When I took the first exam, I was   18  to find a 77, C plus, on my test paper,     19   English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments But remained   20  .

 I decided to try harder, although I didn't know what that   21    because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I    22   with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn't change his  23   .

 One more test before the final exam. One more  24     to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time,   25   the meaning of the word "thorough". But my   26  did no good and everything  27  as before.

 The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what   28  I got, it wouldn't cancel three C pluses. I might as well kiss the   29  goodbye.

 I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even  30   myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I'd have   31    with a test.

 A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne's office. He  32     to be expecting me. "If I had given you the grade as you   33    , you wouldn't continue to work as hard."

 I stared at him,   34     that his analysis and strategy were   35   . I had worked my head off, as I had never done before.

I've always remembered Professor Jayne's lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
