A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year,the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average (中等) ，and they were not the best students at all. Well,guess what? At the end of the year,all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.
What made these average students change so much to become the top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude (态度) .Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students,they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
Do you know? If you expect the best from people,they'll usually give you their best. A great leader said, "Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside,and you'll make him even worse. But treat a person like he's already a success,and you'll help make him the best he can be."
The true story of 7-year-old Johnny has proved the words above. Johnny was a very naughty boy. His teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, "Johnny,you're the naughtiest boy in this class. I'm sure you'll never change. " The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of her class,she met Johnny after school and said, "Johnny,I've heard a lot about you!But do you know that I don't believe a word of it?" And every day after that,this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students in the class even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on,Johnny became a school leader. That's the power of the belief ('ft'fD and attitude toward children.

Fighting CD Copiers
How much do you want to pay for a CD by your favourite singer Jay Chou? Five yuan for a pirated one,or more for a real one?
Wang Ye,14. said she would like the real one although the pirated one is cheaper. "A real one is worth keeping for years," said the girl from No. 1Middle School in Wuhu,Anhui. "Real CDs always sound better to me."
What Can We Do?
People want to do more to help those like Wang to get real CDs.
This week the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI,国际唱片业协会) asked many countries to act against piracy.
In many places in China,the government is checking audio and video products (产品) . Pirated ones are broken into pieces.
Piracy is in your daily life. Don't believe it? A study by 21st Century Teens found that more than 75 percent of juniors had listened to pirated music. They say this is because pirated products are usually much cheaper than the real ones.
Why are real CDs so expensive? When a music company makes music,it needs to pay the song writers and singers. It costs a lot of money！This makes the prices of the CDs go up. Piracy is like stealing. People who make pirated copies of CDs take away the writers1 and singers' work without paying them. They don't even ask them if they can.
So next time you'd better keep your eyes widened when you see cheap CDs,remember you're helping someone to do something wrong if you buy them.
How Do I Know What's Real? Already made up your mind to buy real ones? Well,you should get to know what real CDs look like.
A real CD has the name and trademark of the music company on the cover. The company's address,telephone number and fax number are also on it.
If you open the CD box,you'll see the singer's name and the album title. Most important of all,a real CD has a number from the IFPI on it.
But people who make pirated CDs need the real CD and disks to copy them. That's why some CDs are only five yuan,but some may sell for 150.
( ) 11. A real CD has on it.
A. the name of the company
B. the number from the IFPI
C. the name of the singer
D. all above
( ) 12. Real CDs are more expensive because .
A. it takes longer to make them

( ) 13. Buying pirated CDs is just like .

B. robbing
C. helping someone do something wrong
D. helping someone
( ) 14. From the passage we get to know that some pirated audio and video products are
A. moved away B. destroyed
