Mom took Jamie to the doctor in the morning. The doctor said that Jamie needed a cast (石膏).

For the next weeks, Jamie had to be careful not to get water on the cast. It started tosmell, too, because Jamie couldn't wash her arm under the cast.

In the late 1990s, a New York City schoolteacher named Angela Duckworth found something surprising. In her math classes, some of the kids withlower IQ scores( 低智商分数) were getting the highest grades, and some of the smartest kids were getting the lowest grades.

To try to solve thismystery(奥秘), Duckworth began to study different people. She asked people torate( 评 价) themselves — for example,"I finish whatever I start." In another study, she asked people some questions such as, "Would you like to have a dollar now or two dollars tomorrow?"

From her studies, Duckworth got to know that successful people have somepersonalitytraits( 个性特点) in common. First of all, they have self-control. A person with self-control canavoid distractions( 避 免 分 心) and wait for something better to happen in the future. Secondly, they have"grit". People with grit work hard and don't give up. They stay with a piece of work even if it's hard, or if it takes a long time.

Is it possible to have self-control and grit? Duckworth believes so. One way is to follow the "Hard Thing"rule: choose something that is hard for you, such as learning a new language. Practice it every day, even if you don't like  doing  it. Don't give up! To be successful, you need to stay with it.

Max and I used to share toys (玩具) with each other. But things became different when he got a model car from his grandma on his birthday. He didn't even ask me to touch it. I was so sad that I decided to buy one.

I told my mom about it, but she didn't agree. I talked to her again and again, and finally we made a deal (协议). I would clean the recyclable rubbish bin (可回收垃圾箱) in the kitchen for 10 days. If I could do my job well, Mom would buy me a model car. It didn't sound like a big deal, did it? I said yes even before my mom finished her talk.

However, I made a mistake on the first day. There were three big bins of different colors in front of our house. I opened one and threw the rubbish into it. When I was about to leave, I found that was a red bin for common rubbish. I didn't know what to do. Then Mom came out and helped me get all the rubbish out and put it in the yellow bin. When everything was done, Mom said, "It's OK to make a mistake, but be careful next time."

I did carefully from then on, and finally I got my model car. It was my great work that helped me get it. My heart began to sing when Mom handed it to me!
