考个90分真的足够了吗?
DEAR ECONOMIST: 90% IS REALLY ENOUGH FOR A STUDENT?
I would like to be the best without hard work. So I went to a favorite teacher who said then that don’t be silly just to follow your mum, dad or teachers, those who urge you on results of 100; 90 is enough for a student if he can get it in each time when in test or exam, and on every credit. For students, being young boys and girls, what they need is not only knowledge but also health; they should be following the rhyme: good better best, never let it rest, till good is better, and better best.
What he said is correct or not?
亲爱的经济学家:
我想做个优等生又不愿学习负担太重,便去问我喜欢的一个老师,他跟我说,不要听你爸妈或老师说要考100分的傻话,考个90分就足够了;要努力的话,就努力每次都考个90分以上,每科都考个90分以上吧,那样的话你已经是班中的佼佼者、高考的状元啦。
他说,考个90分就足够的观念可以给现在的学生减轻思想负担。学习总得有个从好到比较好、从比较好到最好,从班里的最好到年级的最好,到全校的最好,到全市、全省、全国乃至全世界的最好的过程。当然,学习还不能停步,要永远走下去,因为下一分钟下一秒钟说不定就会有人赶上来,超过你,成为即时的最好哦。
他让我看看下面的分数等级要求,说是美国、欧洲、新西兰、新加坡等国家都沿用的标准,从中可以明白,为什么考个90分就足够了:
A+
96 - 100
A 93 - 95
A- 90 - 92 优
B+ 87 - 89
B 83 - 86
B- 80 - 82 良
C+ 77 - 79
C 73 - 76
C- 70 - 72 一般
D+ 67 - 69
D 63 - 66
D- 60 - 62 及格
F 00 - 59 不及格
做个优等生又不用负担太重,还能腾出时间做些自己喜欢做的事情,何乐而不为。可老师这样说对吗?
