Ben Smith was puzzled．He was sitting in class，but had no idea what the other students were talking about．He had done his homework，paid attention to lectures，and taken notes，but nothing was familiar．"Everyone is so much cleverer than I am，"he thought．It was a strange feeling，as he was always a good student in high school．
He felt even more puzzled a few days later．He got lost on his way to his favourite cinema．What's worse，he began having trouble finding the right words when speaking．He asked，"What's for dinner，Mom？"after he had just eaten．Poor Ben，he was only 15!
His parents were worried and took Ben to see a doctor．A brain scan（扫描） made it clear：Ben had a malignant brain tumor（恶性脑肿瘤）．That made his memory worse than before．He should be operated on （手术） as soon as possible．Ben was scared!
Doctors removed the tumor，but Ben's memory was still poor．He was told he would probably never go back to school．Ben was eager to enter a university，but it was difficult to make his dream come true．
"Even though they told me this，I knew I wanted to go back to school，"Ben said．"I wanted to get my memory back．"
Ben began to attend an English class at a nearby school．In class，he took notes carefully and read his notes several times a day，then typed them again and again．He studied twelve hours a day，seven days a week．He worked ten times harder than other students．In 2007，at age 29，he graduated from a local university．Six months later，Ben found a job．
