For
the
most
part
，
American
children
aren

t
great
at
math

But
Chinese
children
tend to be excellent
．
It

she notices
in children
’
s focus and
discipline are dramatic
，
but
she also notices
cultural differences
that influence how Chinese schools are
run
，
and the reason why
its students test so
well
．
Along with factors such
as highly trained teachers and
an
emphasis
on
memorizing
before
pursuing
deeper
understanding
，
the
difference
comes
down to a belief that has begun slowly
making its way across the
US
：
achievement is
the result of hard
work
，
not natural
ability
．
This
approach comes
from a firm
belief that anything
is
possible with hard work
，
with
chiku
，
or
“
eating
bitter
”
．
Studies
show
that
for
kids
who
score
poorly
．
Chinese
teachers believe a lack of
effort
—
rather than of
smarts
—
is to
blame
．
Stanford
psychologist
Carol
Dweck
，
author
of
“
Mindset(
心态
)
”
，
is
responsible
for
making
up
the
terms
“
growth
mindset
”
and
“
fixed
mindset
”
.
Chinese
students
are
trained
to
have
a
growth
mindset
：
if
they
aren
’
t
doing
well
，
they
’
11
work
harder
，
and
they
’
11 be
successful
．
American children
tend to be
trained to have
a fixed
mindset about
academics
：
their
abilities
are
largely
predetermined
and
static.
If
they
aren
’
t
doing
well
，
it
’
s because
they
’
re not good at
it
．
In America
students are told that learning is fun and easy.
But real learning
is actually very
difficult and takes suffering and
anxiety
．
If
you
’
re not willing
to go through that
you
’
re not going to
learn deeply
．
The
downside is these students
often give
up when something gets hard or when
it
’
s no longer
fun
．

．
According

The sixth mass extinction is not a
worry for the future
．
It
’
s happening
now
，
much faster than
previously expected
，
and it's
entirely our fault
，
according
to a
study puhlished
Mooday
．
Humans
have already wiped out hundreds of species and
pushed many more to the
brink of
extinction through wildlife trade
，
pollution
，
habitat loss
and the use of
toxic
substances
．
The findings
published in the scientific Journal
Proceedings of
the National
Academy of Sciences
( PNAS)show that the
rate at which species are dying
out has
accelerated in recent
decades
．
Gerardo
Ceballos Gonz
á
lez
，
a professor of ecology at the National
Autonomous
University
of
Mexico
and
one
of
the
authors
of
the
study
，
said
approximately
173
species
went extinct between
2001 and
202X
．
“
173 species
is 25 times more extinct species
than
you
would expect under the
normal extinction
rate
．
”
he told CNN
in
an email
．
He
and his team found that in the past 100
years
，
more than 400 vertebra
te(
脊椎动物
的
)species
went extinct
．
In the normal
course of evolution
，
such
extinctions would
have taken up to
10
，
000
years
，
they
said
．
Mass
extinctions
are
just
as
severe
as
their
name
suggests
．
There
have
been
five
mass
extinction
events
in
the
Earth
’
s
history
，
each
wiping
out
between
70
％
and
95
％
of the species
of plants
，
animals and
microorganisms
．
The most
recent
，
66 million
years
ago
，
saw
dinosaurs
disappear
．
The
past
events
were
caused
by
catastrophic
changes
of
the
environmen
t
，
including
massive
volcanic
eruptions
or
collision
with
an
asteroid

The sixth mass extinction the one
