I received your letter dated April 16 the day ago yesterday. Every of our family are greatly delighted to learn whether you are getting along very well with your lessons. Time passes quickly. In dozens of day, you'll finish middle school. What please us most is that you do very good to make up your mind to enter for the college entrance examination this summer. What wonderful it is! Dad, as well as Mom and I , are with you. We wish you to make better use your time .The fuller preparations if you make, the surer of success you'll certainly be.

Why are so many people afraid to fail? Quite simply because we forget that failure is part of the human life and that every person has the right to fail. Every person is able to fight failure and finally succeed.

Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(标准). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.

There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. Young children need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child often feels terrible, of course, when he is not invited to a birthday party, or is not chosen into a football team. But parents should not say “It doesn’t matter.” quickly. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.

Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both adults and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them. Success just repeats what has been done. It is not as good a teacher as failure. You can learn how to give a good party from an unsuccessful one.

1. How do most parents prevent their children from failure?

A. They give them some presents.

B. They don’t tell them that they have failed.

C. They don’t blame others.

D. They help them to come out of failure.

2. Which of the following does a person need to learn when he fails?

A. It’s impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it.

B. He is the worst of all.

C. It’s natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time.

D. His teammates are not good enough.

3.Which would be the best title for the passage?[来.Com]

A. Learning from Failure

B. Ways of Preventing Failure

C. Reasons of Failure

D. Getting Pleasure from Failure

Ronald Hoffman born in 1937 is Polish-born American organic chemist and Nobel laureate(桂冠). As a theoretical chemist, Hoffmann studied energy levels in chemical bonds during chemical reactions. He put computers to use to solve his problems and, despite the complexity of his research, was able to explain his theories and discoveries to the non-specialist. For his work he was awarded the 1981 Nobel Prize in chemistry, which he shared with Fukui Kenichi.

Born in Poland, Hoffmann settled in New York City as a child and became a United States citizen. He received his undergraduate degree in premedical studies from Columbia College in 1958. He attended Harvard University, where he received his PhD. degree in chemical physics in 1962. He joined the faculty of Cornell University in the mid-1960s and remained there throughout his career.

Hoffmann and Nobel laureate chemist Robert Burns Woodward developed rules, based on quantum mechanics, to determine how energy levels in atomic electron orbits influence how a chemical reaction takes place. These simple rules, known as the Woodward-Hoffmann rules, allowed chemists to predict reaction results and was quickly accepted and put to use in a wide variety of situations.

Hoffmann later turned his research to a variety of problems related to discovering the molecular structure of inorganic and organometallic compounds. Hoffmann is also known for what is called the Isolobal Analogy, which is yet another discovery linking all areas of chemistry. It is useful in predicting the behavior of new molecules based on the orbit structure of the components used to form them.

Aided by computers, Hoffmann was able to generate a vast amount of data to support his ideas. Unlike the scientific papers of many chemists, Hoffmann's publications contain little raw data but instead are filled with diagrams and pictures to explain his results. His drawings of shaded balloons to indicate eigenvectors, a unit used in mathematics, are now the accepted scientific notation for illustrating this value.

1.What can be inferred from the above passage about Hoffman?

A. He left his homeland when he got the Nobel Prize.

B. He went to the United States to gain his Nobel Prize.

C. He might find the Unites States a better place to learn chemistry.

D. His family may have settled in the United States.

2.How did Hoffman make his research popular?

A. He applied some computer skills to help explain his ideas.

B. He established a special computer system to help.

C. He drew some forms explaining his ideas.

D. He did series of experiments to prove his ideas.

3.The underlined word “generate” in this passage might most probably mean “______”.

A. bring in B. break down

B. move away D. keep secret

4.Why was Ronald Hoffman awarded the 1981 Nobel Prize for chemistry?

A. He established rules to predict chemical reactions .

B. He succeeded applying computer science to chemistry research.

C. He shared what he had achieved with another scientist named Fukui Kenichi.

D. He succeeded in both chemistry and computer researches.

One night in February 1962, John H. Glenn. Jr., flew over Australia. The man in the Mercury(水星) capsule（宇宙飞行容器）was alone, but friendly voices reached him by radio. On the dark land 100 miles below, he saw a sprinkling of light. They marked the city of Perth, where people had turned on their lights as a greeting to him.

In Friendship7, Glenn radioed, “ The lights show up very well. Thank for everybody for turning them on.” His capsule raced on to the east.

During his three orbits（绕……轨道而行） of the earth, Glenn could always reach one of eighteen tracking stations. Some of them were on ship at sea. Others were in the United States.

Many of the stations had been built with the help of other countries. These countries allowed Americans to bring in radio equipment and set it up. Without the help of such lands as Nigeria（尼日利亚）, Zanzibar（尚巴西，坦桑尼亚领土的一部分）, and Mexico, there would have been breaks in the worldwide radio network.

John H. Glenn. Jr., was the first America to orbit the earth. For his flight, the tracking network（跟踪网络） covered 60,000 route miles. Five hundred men worked in the stations along the route. Since his flight, the network has grown. Today, it covers more than 100,000 route miles and has about one hundred stations. One-third of these stations are outside of the United States.

1.This passage is mainly about .

A. talking to ships at sea around the world

B. breaks in the worldwide network

C. the first American to orbit the earth

D. a satellite which fell into the ocean

2.From the passage we can see that .

A. Friendship7 stopped in Perth, Australia

B. all tracking stations are inside the United States

C.radio equipment is important in space flight

D. many people could see Glenn in his capsule when he made the flight

3.During his flight Glenn could always .

A. see lights turned on on the ground

B. reach ships at sea

C.reach one of the tracking stations

D. arrive at Mercury in his Friendship7

4.Why did people in Perth turn on the lights?

A. They wanted guide him to land.

B.It was too dark for them to see in the room.

C. They wanted to see the Friendship7.

D. They wanted to greet Glenn.

5.Which of the following is not true?

A. Countries must work together to track satellites.

B. There are now about 70 tracking stations in the United States.

C. The tracking network covers many more route miles now than before.

D. Nobody has orbited the earth besides Glenn.

As new students at an university in Boston, many of us were unfamiliar with the campus but frequently late for class．One professor, however, was absolute against being late, making clear that no excuse would be acceptable．So when a girl student came in his class one morning late, we expected the worst results．It left the professor so annoying that he demand the reason ．“The reason is that my waiting online to buy your new book．” She replied very nervously．Delighted at being admired , the professor asked the rest of the class , “ Well , how were not the rest of you late？”
