　　It is reasonable to offer
prizes to the high-level per-
formers. This is because one
needs to pay a greater amount
of effort than others in order
to earn a higher grade in the
exams.
　　Top performers normal-
ly act as a facilitator to en-
courage other students to
work harder and they can cre-
ate a competitive learning en-
vironment at the school.
　　Academic study is also a
kind of competition and
should abide by the rule of
fairness, so the best perform-
ers should be rewarded. 		　　Those best students are relatively few
in a class. If we only pay attention to
those high-level learners and ignore the
rest of the students, their enthusiasm for
study, to a large degree, might be re-
duced.
　　It is necessary for teachers to give
certain awards to those who put consider-
able efforts into their study. The extrinsic
reward provided for them is a motivator
for them study further since a sense of ac-
complishment can boost their confidence
and help them get great improvements in
their later study.
　　Instead of the best students, those who
have made improvements in their study
should be rewarded because it is a kind of
recognition of their efforts and industry.
 
【正确答案】[高分范文] Should We Only Reward the Best Students? Rewarding top students is normally considered as an effective approach to recognizing their achievements and inspiring other students. But some people argue that although the best students deserve to be rewarded, it is more important to encourage those who show remarkable improvements since they also have made unremitting efforts in their study. My stand is that prizes should also be awarded to students who make conspicuous progress in their academic study. Firstly, education is based on the belief that it will make people more excellent, and encouraging those most improved students will be one of the best ways to fulfill that goal. Moreover, students differ greatly in their talents and living environments. Students from poverty-stricken families may not prevail over the best ones in study, but that doesn't mean they can't succeed in their future career. Therefore, spiritual or economic encouragement is likely to stimulate them to tackle seemingly impossible tasks. In addition, to reward the most improved students can not only boost their confidence but also raise their competitive consciousness. In sum, only rendering outstanding students awards may dampen the others' enthusiasm, so encouraging both types of students mentioned above will be a feasible way to create an aspiring learning atmosphere.
