Questions you should ask yourself when you fail

The more new things we try the more failure we are likely to have. 【1】 . Experiencing failure can be a learning experience and an opportunity for a fresh start. A good way to begin this process is by asking yourself some tough questions.

1. What can I learn from this?

Take responsibility for what went wrong. OK, so it was not all your fault—but some of it was. Successful people don’t make excuses or blame others. 2 So you should look at the experience objectively(客观地).

2. Do I need to acquire or improve some skills?

Did the problem reveal some lack of skill on your part? How could you learn or improve those skills? Perhaps there are books or courses or people you could turn to. 3 __

3. Who can I learn from?

Is there someone to whom you can turn for advice? Did a boss, colleague or friend see what happened? 4 . Most people do not ask for help because they believe it to be a sign of weakness rather than strength. It’s not. It shows that you are ready to learn and change.

4. What will I do next?

Now draw up an action plan. Will you try something similar or something different? Revisit your goals. Failure doesn’t mean you have to give up; maybe you just need to change it in another way. 5___

A. You can now reset your sights on your destination and plan a new course.

B. Make them step stones to future success.

C. They take responsibility for the failure.

D. In fact the only way to avoid failure is to do nothing new.

E. The important thing is how we deal with failure.

F. Make a self-development plan to acquire the skills and experience you need.

G. If they are constructive and supportive then ask them for some feedback (反馈) and guidance.

【题目】Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave―and mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas―even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player.“In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim.“I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)―and stopped him cold.”

Boldness―a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme―is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities―and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

【1】 Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

A.He faced huge risks.

B.He lacked mighty forces.

C.Fear prevented him from trying.

D.Failure blocked his way to success.

【2】 What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

A.Swallow more than you can digest.

B. Develop more mysterious powers.

C.Act slightly above your abilities.

D. Learn to make creative decisions.

【3】 What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

A.Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.

B.Boldness can be gained little by little.

C.Repeated failure creates a better life.

D. Trying without success is meaningless.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A.To encourage people to be courageous.

B.To advise people to build up physical power.

C.To tell people the ways to guarantee success.

D.To recommend people to develop more abilities.

【题目】 阅读理解

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Net Library is a library that lends out digital books. It treats a digital book like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.

From the consumer’s point of view, this means that if more than five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title is unable to get.

Many publishers seem to have embraced its model. More than 350 publishers gave the company rights to hand out their digital works, and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money into the company. The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.

Some librarians criticize the Net Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works, which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.

Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by Brary. Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.

But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to point out material or copy and taste it into a different file or tries to download a copy onto a computer.

Christopher Warnock, chief executive of Brary, believes most consumers won’t want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them.

“There is not really a lot of good owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn’t make sense,” he said.

【1】How do publishers get money from the Net Library?

A.They get money from selling their books to the Net Library

B.They get money from the readers.

C.They get money by cutting the cost of the books.

D.They share the money with Net Library.

2The underlined word “embraced” in the third paragraph means

A. tried out something hard

B. held something tightly

C. disliked something badly

D. taken something willingly

3What does the last paragraph mean?

A. Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.

B. There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.

C. Brary is not a good library for the consumers.

D. It’s reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.

The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)

If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 1 Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.

It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 【2】 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.

It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 【3】 You can use the ideas to propel(鞭策) yourself forward.

【4】 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.

It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 【5】 In the end, you will expand your ideas.

A.I often experienced that myself.

B.It trains you to express your thoughts.

C.It allows you to see your progress over time.

D.Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.

E.Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.

F.And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.

G.Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
