Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human con
19、dition and that every person has the right to fail. Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child s hastily made table as “perfect“ , even though it wobbles(摇晃) on
20、 uneven legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. The trouble with failure prevention is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time and th
21、at it is possible to enjoy a game even when you don t win. A child who s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn t make the honor roll or the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolation(安慰) prize or say “It doesn t matter“ because it does. The young
22、should be allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master it. Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts adults and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “Why did I fail?“ Resist the natural impulse to blame someone
23、 else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, dont be shy about inquiring.（分数：10.00）(1).This passage mainly tells us about_.（分数：2.00）A.the importance of facing failureB.the ways to prevent failureC.the reasons why people failD.everyone s right to fail(2).W
24、hen the writer says “every person has the right to fail“ , he means to say_.（分数：2.00）A.no one can grow up without failuresB.every person is right to failC.they have not been taught how to deal with failures correctlyD.the law protects people s success and failure(3).By “protecting their children fro
25、m the knowledge that they have failed“ , the writer means that most parents try their best_.（分数：2.00）A.to let their children know that they won t failB.not to teach their children about knowledge of failureC.to provide their children the knowledge against failureD.to keep their children from realizi
26、ng that they failed(4).According to the writer, the right attitude towards failures is that_.（分数：2.00）A.parents should tell their children to think nothing of their failuresB.children should be encouraged to get through failures by themselvesC.parents should judge what their children have done as it
27、 isD.children should always learn to enjoy a game that they wont win(5).What is the most important thing to do when one fails?（分数：2.00）A.To find all excuses for the failure.B.To blame someone else.C.To find out the cause and improve himself.D.To remember the past failures.Peter loved to buy used art
28、icles. Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “ Uh, look, the game box hasn t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. “ Peter examined the box, and sure enough, it wa
29、s completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. He saw a date of 1977 on the back of the box. “ You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens,“ the salesgirl said. “Yes, youre right. People like something rare, Peter agreed, “I cant imagine there being very many unope
30、ned boxes of this game still around 40 years later. “ “Dont forget to tell me if you sell it, “ the salesgirl smiled. “No problem,“ Peter said. After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game, but he could not find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game
31、and hit SEARCH. The search result was 543 websites contacting information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Pe
32、ter emailed some of them, telling them what he had. Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop. “Hello! Do you still remember the unopened word game?“ The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said,“ Oh, hi!“ “I ve got something for you,“ Peter said. “I sold the game and ma
33、de $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion. “ He handed her three $ 100 bills. “ Wow!“ the salesgirl cried out. “ Thank you!

37、, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons good points, things will be quite different. One of the most neglected virtues of our daily existence is appreciation. Somehow, we neglec
38、t to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval. The next time you enjoy delicious foo
39、d at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it was excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it. Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreci
40、ative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy
41、. Try to be friendly and appreciative in your daily life, and you will be surprised how that will change your life and the world.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, people_.（分数：2.00）A.spend a lot of time thinking about othersB.think about themselves most of the timeC.spend little time thinking a
42、bout themselvesD.think more about others than themselves(2).The writer criticizes the parents who_.（分数：2.00）A.ignore their children s achievementsB.are not interested in baking a cakeC.set high demands upon their childrenD.dont help out when their kids have difficulties(3).The word “it“ in Paragraph
43、 3 refers to_.（分数：2.00）A.delicious foodB.a restaurantC.the cookD.unreal politeness(4).According to the passage, _.（分数：2.00）A.kids need encouragement more than adultsB.professionals need appreciation more than workersC.appreciation is not necessary for modern familyD.everyone needs appreciation and e
44、ncouragement(5).The writer believes that_.（分数：2.00）A.people often appreciate things other people doB.people seldom appreciate things other people doC.say “thanks“ to someone, and youll soon become friendsD.express your gratitude to other people, and they will pass it tooA major incentive (动力) for co
45、llege attendance is the belief that it will prepare you for a career. Chances are that the career you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, or management, requires a college education. Even if the return of your education isn t as great as it used to be, you would probably rather be a relativel
46、y poorly paid lawyer than a secretary or a construction worker: you would probably rather be a manager than a subordinate In the sense that a degree is increasingly required for even middle-level jobs, your investment in a college education will still pay off. It can pay off in other ways too. It is
47、 a value judgement to say that a college education will make you a better person, but it is a value judgement that the vast majority of college graduates are willing to make survey after survey to demonstrate that people feel very positive about their college education, believing that it has made th
48、em better and more tolerant people. Whether it makes you a better person or not, a college education is likely to have a lasting effect on your knowledge and values. If you finish college, you will sit through 30 to 45 different courses. Even the least dedicated student is bound to learn something f
49、rom these courses. In addition, students learn informally. Whether you go to college in your hometown or across the country, college will introduce you to a greater diversity of people than you re likely to have experienced before. This diversity will challenge your mind and broaden your horizons. As a result of forma
