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 condition and that
16、 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 uneven legs. An
17、other way is to shift blame. If John Jails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. The trouble with failure prevention devices 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 timeand that it is
18、possible to enjoy a game even when you don t win. A child who s not invited to a birthday party, who doesnt make the honor roll on 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 should be
19、allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master it. Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts adults and child 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 else. Ask yo
20、urself 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).When the write
21、r 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 from the knowledg
22、e 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 wont failB.not to teach their children about knowledge of failureC.to provide their children the knowledge against failureD.to keep their children from realizing that they fa
23、iled(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 isD.children s
24、hould 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 excuse for the failure.B.To blame someone else.C.To find out the cause and improve himself.D.To remember the past failures.You must be very careful when a woman asks
25、you how she looks because you will never come up with a right answer. The problem is that women generally do not think of their looks in the same way that men do. Most men form all opinion of how they look in seventh grade, and they stick to it for the rest of their lives. Most of them think of them
26、selves as average looking. But that does not bother them. Women do not look at themselves this way. No matter how attractive a woman may appear to be to others, they think about their appearance as “not good enough“. Why do women have such low self-esteem? There are many complex psychological and so
27、cietal reasons, but one reason might be that women grow up thinking they need to look like Barbie doll. This is a difficult appearance standard to live up to, although there is a multibillion-dollar beauty industry devoted to convincing women that they must try. I m not saying men are superior, but
28、you are not going to get a group of middle-aged men who apply cosmetics(化妆品)to themselves in hope of looking more like Brad Pitt. Men would realize that this task was pointless and meaningless. Of course many women will argue that men, being shallow, want them to look that way. As I see, hey, just b
29、ecause we re idiots, that doesn t mean you have to be. So if you are a man, and a woman asks you how she looks, you cant say she looks bad. But you also cant say she looks great, because shell think youre lying. Also, she suspects that youre not qualified to judge anybody s appearance. This is becau
30、se you have shaving cream in your hair.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.All women accept men s praises for their looks.B.It is impossible for women to become beautiful.C.Women are less confident about their appearance.D.Most men think they are handsome and never wor
31、ry about their looks.(2).Why does the problem of appearance never make men worried?（分数：2.00）A.Because they believe they are handsome.B.Because women never care about men s appearance.C.Because they dont care about beauty.D.Because being average-looking is fine for men.(3).Which of the following migh
32、t not be the reason for women to apply cosmetics to themselves?（分数：2.00）A.They are not satisfied with their looks.B.They are crazy to follow film stars.C.They believe that men want them to do so.D.They have low self-esteem in their appearance.(4).What is mens proper reaction when a woman asks how sh
33、e looks, according to this passage?（分数：2.00）A.To make a moderate comment on her looks.B.To keep silent or change a topic.C.To tell the woman that she is ugly.D.To tell the truth.(5).What would men think of their own use of cosmetics?（分数：2.00）A.It is useless.B.It is necessaryC.It is good.D.It is unac
34、ceptableBy far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland
35、 there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious and very feware fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surger
36、y and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels thre
37、atened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you
38、 are very close. The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person is bitten. The bigger the person is, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A hea
39、lthy person will also have better resistance against the poison. Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.（分数：10.00）(1).Wh
40、ich of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.B.In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.C.Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.D.Peoples attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.(2).Adders are m
41、ost likely to be found_.（分数：2.00）A.in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB.in Scotland and nowhere elseC.on uncultivated land throughout BritainD.in shady fields in England(3).We are told that British snakes are_.（分数：2.00）A.afraid of human beingsB.poisonous including the adderC.dangerous except the
42、adderD.friendly towards human beings(4).If an adder senses your approaching, it will probably_.（分数：2.00）A.attack you immediatelyB.disappear very quicklyC.wait to frighten youD.move out of the way(5).According to the passage, a snake bite is_.（分数：2.00）A.more harmful to a healthy man than to a sick ma
43、nB.less harmful to an adult than to a childC.more dangerous than any serious illnessD.always fatal in BritainTransportation has increased each person s mobility. Initially, one could walk about 20 miles a day; using a horse or bicycle would double or triple(三倍)this range. Today one can travel halfwa
44、y around the world in a day. Through increased mobility, ones range of acquaintances can be worldwide. Business and professional interactions also can be on a worldwide basis. With such wide-scale travel opportunities, business and culture will never be the same. In terms of sociology, teenage peopl
45、e in the United States view obtaining a driver s license as one rite(仪式)of passage toward adulthood(成年). The automobile is a means for them to escape parental supervision(监管). The automobile is blamed for the decline of small towns; persons with cars are able and willing to travel longer distances t
46、o the stores and other attractions of larger communities. In the United States, the school bus also led to the decline of small towns because it made it possible to consolidate(合并)numerous small schools. Small villages where small schools were closed went into decline. Transportation has increased e
47、mployment opportunities, because one can travel to reach more potential jobs, and a professional person can cover a wider area. In sparely settled areas, for example, veterinarians(兽医)and physicians make calls using small aircrafts. Transportation activities also provide employment opportunities; wo
48、rking for carriers and shippers, constructing vehicles and roadways, and working in government agencies involved with transportation. However, as transportation facilities and opportunities increase, there are some groups left behind. The poor, the feeble(弱者), the elderly, and the disabled are in da
49、nger of being ignored because they lack equal access to transportation systems. In many locations in the United States, automobile ownership as well as use is virtually a requirement. Society is uncertain as to what responsibilities it has for transportation systems that can be used by those without automobiles. Another negative impact relates
