For pupils at a village school in Yiyuan county， Shandong province， Ren Jilan has not only been teaching them but also showing them how to face life bravely， especially when things just don’t seem to be working out.

Ren came from a poor family in a Yiyuan county village. She had to do more housework than other children when she was young because both her father and mother were in ill health. With support from her relatives and villagers， Ren completed her 12?year school study and was accepted by Qufu Normal University. But the four?year university experience didn’t go well. Her father died and then she had to care for her mother. At the difficult moment， it was her teacher， Li Zhenhua， who came to her and offered help.

After graduation， Ren was faced with chances to work as a teacher in cities， but she chose to return to her hometown and work as a country teacher at Fuluping Primary School. “Teacher Li gave up a well?paid job in a big city to teach children at the village school. I’d like to follow his path to play my part for the education in my hometown.” Ren says.

Fuluping Primary School is 50 kilometers away from downtown Yiyuan county. It was once among the schools with the worst conditions in the county. But the school has its own beautiful and comfortable playground now.

Ren works hard on teaching and taking care of her students. She also spends a part of her money helping two poor students. She received the China Youth May 4th Medal—the country’s top honor for excellent young people.

“Life was not easy for me， but luckily I had nice people around me. They gave me a helping hand when I was in need， and it encouraged me to go on，” says Ren.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答文后所給出的問(wèn)題。

Once， a group of boys decided to play a proper football game. Each one of them would bring something used in real matches. So one would bring the ball， another the whistle， another the goalposts， others the goalkeeper gloves， the corner flags， etc.

But before the game started while they were picking the teams， there was a small argument. They decided that the boy who had brought the most important object would get to pick the teams. Well， now they couldn’t reach an agreement， so they thought it would be best to just start playing， using all the objects， and gradually get rid of what people had brought， to see which things were truly necessary.

The first thing they got rid of was the whistle， because the referee（裁判） could just shout instead. Then they threw the goalkeeper gloves， they managed to save the ball just as well without them. Neither did they really notice when they stopped using the comer flags， nor when they replaced the goalposts with a couple of bins. And so they continued， until finally they replaced the football with an old can， and managed to keep playing...

While they were playing with the can， a man and his son passed by. Seeing the boys playing like that， the man said to his son：

“Look， son， learn from those kids over there. Without even a ball they’re managing to play football， even though they’re never going to be able to improve playing that way.”

The boys heard him say this， and realized that because of too much pride and egotism （自負(fù)）， what could have been a great match had turned into a shameful display， which they were hardly enjoying at all. That moment， they decided to put their selfish opinions to one side， and they agreed to start playing the match again， from the start， and with all the proper equipment.

And it really was a great game. No one thought about who was playing better or worse. Rather， they just focused on having fun and improving their game.
