Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail
18、 so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition 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
19、lower standards. A mother describes her child s hastily made table as “perfect“ , even though it wobbles(摇晃) on 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
20、 real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time and that 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
21、 parents should not offer a quick consolation(安慰) prize or say “It doesn t matter“ because it does. The young 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 li
22、fe once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “Why did I fail?“ Resist the natural impulse to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, dont be shy about inquiring.41 This passage mainly tells us about_.（A）the importance of facing failur
23、e（B） the ways to prevent failure（C） the reasons why people fail（D）everyone s right to fail42 When the writer says “every person has the right to fail“ , he means to say_.（A）no one can grow up without failures（B） every person is right to fail（C） they have not been taught how to deal with failures cor

27、nd improve himself.（D）To remember the past failures.45 Peter loved to buy used articles. 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
28、. That might be worth some money. “Peter examined the box, and sure enough, it was 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
29、 like something rare, Peter agreed, “I cant imagine there being very many unopened 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
30、game, but he could not find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game 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
31、 found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter 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
32、, hi!“I ve got something for you,“ Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion. “ He handed her three $ 100 bills.“ Wow!“ the salesgirl cried out. “ Thank you! I never expected it. “46 Which of the following best describes the word game Peter bought?（A）It was made aro
33、und 40 years ago.（B） It had game boards in different sizes.（C） It was kept in a plastic bag with a seal.（D）It had little pieces of wood in different colors.47 What did the salesgirl probably think of Peter s word game?（A）Old and handy.（B） Rare and valuable.（C） Classic and attractive.（D）Colorful and
34、interesting.48 Peter got the names of the game fans from_.（A）an auction（B） the Internet（C） a game shop（D）a second-hand shop49 What happened at the end of the story?（A）Peter gave the salesgirl $300 as a reward.（B） The salesgirl became Peter s friend.（C） Peter returned the word game for $1,000.（D）The
35、salesgirl felt confused to see Peter again.50 What can be learned from the story?（A）It s important to keep a promise.（B） It s great to share in other people s happiness.（C） One should be grateful for the help from others.（D）Something rare is not worth a large amount of money.50 When we are not engag
36、ed in thinking about some definite problem, 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 exis
37、tence is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect 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 approv
38、al.The next time you enjoy delicious food 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
39、 audience and not receiving any appreciative 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 i
40、s the legal tender that all souls enjoy.Try to be friendly and appreciative in your daily life, and you will be surprised how that will change your life and the world.51 According to the passage, people_.（A）spend a lot of time thinking about others（B） think about themselves most of the time（C） spend

42、d “it“ in Paragraph 3 refers to_.（A）delicious food（B） a restaurant（C） the cook（D）unreal politeness54 According to the passage, _.（A）kids need encouragement more than adults（B） professionals need appreciation more than workers（C） appreciation is not necessary for modern family（D）everyone needs apprec
43、iation and encouragement55 The writer believes that_.（A）people often appreciate things other people do（B） people seldom appreciate things other people do（C） say “thanks“ to someone, and youll soon become friends（D）express your gratitude to other people, and they will pass it too55 A major incentive
44、(动力) for college 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
45、a relatively 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
46、too. It is 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 h
47、as made them 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 so
48、mething from 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 ho
49、rizons.As a result of formal and informal learning, college graduates are more knowledgeable about the world around them, more tolerant and less prejudiced, more active in public and community affairs, and, more open to new ideas.56 It is apparent from the passage that people go to college mainly because the
