In order to reduce the stress on the students, Nanjing No. 1 High School has 1 a “mark bank”. The bank lets students “borrow” marks 2 they can pass exams, and then repay them in later tests.
like real banks, it requires “clients (客户)” to pay back the loan (贷款) on time, with interest (利息). So students have to pay for the loan by getting extra marks in future exams. Some teachers also allow the students to repay the bank 5 doing lab experiments or giving public speeches. Students who don’t pay back their loans are blacklisted (列入黑名单) by the bank, just like in real life.
“I was sick before the mid-term exams and missed several geography classes,” one student said, “I failed the exam, so I am glad the ‘mark bank’ gave me a 6 to pass the exam.”
expert Xiong Bingqi, for example, believes 9 the “mark bank” is not proper, but thinks that it takes stress off the students. Others think that such an idea just causes students to be 10 in their studies.

The most upset thing was no matter 7 hard I tried, I just couldn't seem to make any progress. Feeling very sad, I took up my pens and put my 8 into a child's book. It was a story of a little fish who simply refused to 9 his dream. And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or experience in the 10 world—just a lot of hard work and perseverance(毅力), my first book got a chance to come out.
