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 every person has the right to fail. Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their chidren 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()on uneven legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. The trouble with faiure 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 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's make the honor roll or the baseball team, feels terrible, of course, But parents should not offer a quick consolation()prize or say, "It doesn't matter" because it does. The young should be allowed to 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 balme someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve .If someone else can help, don't be shy about inquiring.
36. This passage mainly tells us about . A. the importance of facing failure B. the ways to prevent failure C. the reasons why people fail D. everyone's right to fail
37. 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 corrnctly D. the law protecets people's success and failure
38. By "protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed", the writer means that most parents try their best . A. to let their children know that they won't fail B. not to teach their childen about knowledge of failure QQ:1163816823 :gzzkgk 69 www.gzzkgk.cn 020-8828266715374053589 C. to provide their children the knowledge against failure D. to keep their children from realizing that they failed
39. According to the writer, the right attitude torwards failuers is that . A. parents should tell their children to think nothing of their failures B. children should be encouraged to get through failures by themselves C. parents should judge what their children have done as it is D. children should always learn to enjoy a game that they won't win
40. What is the most inpostant thing to do when one fails? A. To find an excuse for the failure B. To blame someone else C. To find out the cause and imporove himself D. To remenber the past failures Passage2 You must be very careful when a woman asks 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 an opinion of how they look in seventh grade, and they stick to it for the rest of their lives. Most of them think of themselves as average-looking, but www.gzzkgk.cn 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 societal 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 you are not going to get a group of middle-aged men who apply cosmetics()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 because 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 can't say she looks bad. But you also can't say she looks great, because she'll think you're lying. Also, she suspects that you're not qualified to judge anybody's appearance. This is because you have shaving cream in your hair.

42. Why does the problem of appearance never make men worried? A. Because they believe they are handsome B. Because women never care about men's appearance C. Because they don't care about beauty D. Because being average-looking is fine for men
43. Which of the following might not be the reason for women to apply cosmetics to themselves? A. They are not satisfied with their looks B. They are carzy to follow film stars C. They believe that men want them to do so D. They have low self-esteem in their appearance
44. What is men's proper reaction when a women asks how she looks, according to this passage? A. To make a moderate comment on her looks B, To keep silent or change a topic 70 QQ:1163816823 :gzzkgk www.gzzkgk.cn 020-8828266715374053589 C. To tell the woman that she is ugly D. To tell the truth

In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a posonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including hight ground. In Ireland there are no snakes st all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangeerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follow that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of adder preaents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and rae far more frightened of you than you could possible be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, 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 www.gzzkgk.cn nomally get oout of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack beforemoving if you 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 bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy 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 probadly just as many cases of bites having litte or no effect, as there are of serious illness.

Initially, one could walk about 20 miles a day;using a horse or bicycle would double or triple() this range. Today one can travel halfway around the world in a day. Trough increased mobility, one's range of acquaintances can be worldwide, Business and professional interactions also can be on a worldwide basis.

QQ:1163816823 :gzzkgk 71 www.gzzkgk.cn 020-8828266715374053589 In terms of sociology, teenage people in the United States view obtaining a driver's license as one rite( ) of passage toward adulthood(). The automobile is a means for them to escape parental supervision( ). The automobile is blamed for the decline of small towns; persons with cars are able and willing to travel longer distances to the strores 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 () numerous small schools. Smallvillages where small schools were closed went into decline. Transportation has increased employment 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, veternarians() and physicians make calls using small aircrafts. Transportation activities also provide employment opportunities: working 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(), the elderly, and the disabled are in danger of being ignored because they lack equal access to transportation systems ,In many location 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 www.gzzkgk.cn by those without automoniles. Another negative impact relates to injuries and deaths caused by transportation. While airline crashes receive the most publicity, highway accidents cause a tremendous number of fatalities() and injuries.

This includes safer roads, lower speed limits, use of seat belts, and stricter enforcement of law against driving while drunk.
