     Each of us fails from time to time.  If we are wise,we accept these failures as a    1     part of the
learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers,we don't     2    our children to have this
same right.
       When I see a child      3     from this kind of pressure,I think of Donnie.
        Donnie was my youngest third-grader.  His      4      of failure kept him from classroom games
that other children enjoyed. He     5    answered questions-he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried
my best to build his     6    . But nothing changed until midterm,when Mary Anne,a student teacher,
was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty,and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie
included,all     7    her very much.
     One morning,we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had copied the
problems with pains taking tidiness and filled answers in the first row.   8  with his progress, I     9
the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned,Donnie was in     10   .
He'd missed the third problem.
       My student teacher looked at me in despair.  Suddenly her face      11    .  From the desk we
shared,she got a container filled with pencils.
       "Look,Donnie," she said,kneeling beside him and gently    12    the tear-stained (弄脏的) face
from his arms."I've got something to     13    you. " She removed the pencils,one at a time, and
placed them on his desk.
      "See these     14    , Donnie," she continued.  "They belong to Mrs Lindstrom and me.  See how
the erasers(橡皮) are    15     ? That's because we make mistakes too.  But we erase the mistakes
and try again.  That's what you   16    learn to do,too. "
        She kissed him and stood up.  "Here," she said. "I'll leave one of these pencils on      17
desk so you'll remember that everybody makes mistakes,     18    teachers. " Donnie looked up
with love in his eyes and a smile.
      The     19     became Donnie's prized possession. That,together with Mary Anne's frequent
encouragement,gradually    20   him that it's all right to make mistakes as long as you erase them
and try again.

     If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school,then you are probably
not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake,tossing and tuming in bed until the early hours of the moming when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up.you don't feel refreshed.but tired and wom out and
unable to face a new day.
     Dr Henry Winkle,in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep,indicates that______． Dr
Winkle says,"The more we worry,the less we sleep,the more we are unable to deal with stress.  If we can
find a way to get a good night's sleep," he adds. "we can often find the energy to deal with what's worrying us. "
     So,what is a good night's sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order
to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount,though strangely enough,sleeping
longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
     Dr Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give
themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed.  This could be watching TV or
listening to music.  Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as
mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help,but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine
and will keep you awake.  " When you put the light out,"  Dr Winkle says,"concentrate on relaxing your
muscles,working slowly up from your feet,and you'll be asleep before you know it. "

Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive, hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent. It was a tall young man, smoking.

He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache was black with curled points, though he could not be more than twenty, three or four. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes.

"Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?" said he, coming forward. And seeing that she was quite at a loss: "Never mind me. I am Mr. d'Urberville. Have you come to see me or my mother?"

This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face. She tried to keep calm and answered, "I came to see your mother, sir."

"I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed," replied the representative of the house; for this was Mr.Alee, the only son of the noble family."What is the business you wish to see her about?"

"It isn't business—it is— I can hardly say what!"

"Pleasure?"

"Oh no. Why, sir, if I tell you, it will seem—"

Tess's sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved(弯曲) towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.

"It is so foolish," she stammered(急急巴巴地说); "I fear I can't tell you!"

"Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear," said he kindly.

"Mother asked me to come," Tess continued; 'and, indeed, I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this.I came, sir,to tell you that we are of the same family as you."

"Ho! Poor relations?"

"Yes."

'Stokes?'

"No; d'Urbervilles."

"Ay, ay; I mean d'Urbervilles."

"Our names are wom away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d'Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are,and we have an old seal(印章) and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we've lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living."

"Very kind of your mother, I'm sure.' Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy. 'And so, my pretty girl, you've come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?"

"I suppose I have," looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

"Well-there's no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?"

—Tess of the d'Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy

A. Excited and hopeful. B. Nervous and uncomfortable.

C. Surprised but comfortable. D. Pleased but embarrassed.

62. In the eyes of Tess, Alec is _______________.
