" In fact I had answered questions likes this many times since I decided to go to college in the US .college paid special attention to different achievement . For example, a person who is very good at math can go to a famous college but also can be a good football player . This experience made me think again that I must try to find where my own interests might lead me . To be honest, it was not easy . However, I never felt sorry to choose this way because it helped me understand myself . If I took the College Entrance Examination,as we call it gaokao in China, it could never possibly do . When I entered high school, I took gaokao seriously because it seemed to me a great way to show how good at my lessons .

Although I had no time for it, I will still get to it in the future . No doubt, gaokao provides a way of choosing those who are successful in their studies . But it is really important for all of us to rethink what " talent " really is today . This is because we now live in a world in which all of our other human qualities ( )are needed for success, not just the high grade . Ken Robinson once said, " the society depends on different kinds of talents . " However, gaokao pays too attention to a person's grades but little to his other qualities. And it is these qualities that makes life colorful and fun . As high school students, we can not change the present situation of eduction, but we are always free to think outside of the box . Although good school grade is still useful, I hope one day we will see our education also welcomes the amazing possibilities in different people . Question: When at high school, the writer _ .
