It was the last math exam before the summer holiday, but Scott didn’t worry. He was really good at math, and he never had to work hard at it.
The next day, a call came to his house and he was asked to go to school. “Wow!” he thought, “I must have scored 100 in the exam.”
However, Scott was shocked (震惊的) about the headmaster’s words. “You failed,” the headmaster said. “It is time for you to know that you couldn’t just take an exam without any preparations.”
The headmaster continued, “When I was a boy, I was talented in science. I didn’t need to study hard for it. But one day, I failed a big exam. So my science teacher gave me the picture. Read the words at the bottom.” With these words, the headmaster handed Scott a picture.
Scott read it aloud, “Welcome to the buzzard (秃鹰) club. Remember, it’s not about talent but about hard work.”
“A buzzard can only fly when it gets a running start,” the headmaster explained. “It can’t just jump into the air like other birds. But once it’s in the air, it can fly higher than any other bird.”

In my opinion, everyone should learn that though we have talent, we will fly higher if we work harder!
