In seventh grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first part before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas carol didn’t get me any role.

Am I embarrassed? No. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it’s such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting to mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science proves this theory.

Researchers have conducted numerous studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy(笨拙的) way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you’re competent(有能力的) at something and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.

Growing up, I was the type of student who had to get straight A’s and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.

When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy(同情) for others than ourselves. With each mistake comes a lesson, and if you can learn to let go and forgive yourself, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward.

More importantly, if you’re frequently worried about looking silly, you’ll never be able to get improvement at work. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn’t the end of the world. Think about it: what’s the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.

1.What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?

A. A mistake makes you more likeable.

B. An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.

C. Competent people always mess up in life.

D. It’s not embarrassing to share mistakes.

2.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

3.What message can be got in the last two paragraphs?

A. Making a fool of yourself when necessary.

B. Being sensitive when it comes to forgiveness.

C. Viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.

D. Not being afraid to face your mistakes.

4.What does the author want to tell us in the passage?

A. It’s okay to make mistakes.

B. Everyone may make mistakes.

C. It’s time to forgive yourself.

D. How to forgive our mistakes.

My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.

One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.

We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!

It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing her story, ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.

1.What does the author think of the job at the local convenience store?

A. less-stressed B. tiring

C. easy D. low-paid

2.Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?

A. It was very warm and fine.

B. His old glasses were broken.

C. His glasses were missing.

D. He forgot to wear his glasses.

3.From the passage, we can infer that ________.

A. Charlie was a young man with skills

B. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses

C. Charlie didn’t support his family with enough money

D. Charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses

4.The underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ________.

A. gave up B. took up C. cut down D. put off
