　　阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

　　About forty years ago, I was an instructor in the military college at Woolwich, when young Scoresby was given his first examination.I felt extremely sorry for him.Everybody answered the questions well, intelligently, while he did not know anything, so to speak.He was a nice, pleasant young man.It was painful to see him stand there and give answers that were wonders of stupidity.

　　I knew of course that when examined again he would fail and be thrown out.So, I said to myself, it would be a simple, harmless act to help him as much as I could.

　　I took him aside and found he knew a little about Ju­lius Cesar's history.But he did not know anything else.So, I tested him and worked him like a slave.I made him work, over and over again, on a few questions about, which I knew he would be asked.

　　He came through very well on the day of the examination.He got high praise too, while others who knew a thousand more than he were sharply criticized!

　　I thought that what in the end would destroy him would be the mathematics examination.I decided to make his end as painless as possible.So, I pushed facts into his stupid head for hours.Finally, however, I was shocked out of my mind.He took the first prize! And he got the highest praise.
