One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift． Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap（包装）．
On September 11^th, 1 958，Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital，she put him in my lap，saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is．” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I played with it day and night． I sang to it, I told it stories．I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however，I found its bed empty． My doll was gone! I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever． For several days，I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”，“pitiful"，and “dying”, which sounded Ominous．
Christmas was coming, “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room． “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough．” As he spoke，his eyes filled with tears． I’d never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs． “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry．
From the window upstairs，I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them so happy． And I was also full of joy． What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home． I ran downstairs． My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty: they were filled with love !

In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story’’ often told, Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13 th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Abraham Lincoln, the famous American president, lost elections more times than he won them! He never gave up in the face of failure but kept trying and was eventually elected to Congress and then the presidency.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?
Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed this time, where will it get me?’’ This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.
The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”

As I sat beside the window that afternoon, my heart began to sink further with each passing car. This was a day I’d looked forward to for weeks: Miss Pace’s end-of-the-year party. I had 21 volunteered my mother when Miss Pace

requested 22 volunteers. By two o’clock other mother had come with their offerings, but there was no 23 of her. As the noisy party went on, I wouldn’t 24 the window, watching outside and holding out hope that Mum would come soon. The three o’clock bell soon woke me from my thoughts and I took my book bag and 25 out of the door for home.

On the walk home, I planned my revenge(报复). I would shut the front door angrily upon entering, 26 to return her hug when she rushed over to me, and vow(发誓) 27 to speak to her again. The house was 28 when I arrived. I was lying face-down on my bed, shaking with a mixture of heartbreak and 29 .

When she returned, entered my room and sat beside me, I didn’t 30 but instead

stared into my pilliow refusing to accept her presence. “I’m so sorry, honey,” she said. “I just 31 . I got busy and forgot.” I still didn't move. “Don't 32 her,”I told myself. “She forgot you. Make her 33 .” Then my mother did something completely 34 . She began to laugh. I rolled over and faced her, 35 to let her see the anger and disappointment in my 36 . But soon I found my mother wasn’t laughing at all, actually. “I’m so sorry,” she said, in tears, “I let my little boy 37 .” she sank down on the bed and began to cry like a little girl. I was shocked 38 I had never seen my mother cry . To my understanding, mothers weren’t supposed to. “It’s okay, Mom,” I said, “we didn’t even 39 those cookies. Don’t cry. It’s all right. Really.” My words made my mother sit up. She 40 her eyes,and a slight smile appeared. I smiled back awkwardly(局促不安)， and she pulled me th her.

“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known i: exactly; tab-stops: 105.0pt 189.0pt 273.0pn my neighborhood.
   One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
   Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
   Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
   Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
   Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about th painful at tomorrow.
71. What ate the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?
   A. A lot of care and the right soil.
   B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
   C. Tomato plants grown alongside.
   D. Cages placed around the roots.
72. The writer planted the tomato because ______.
   A. it cost only $1. 25
   B. the soil was just right for it
   C. there was room for it in the garden
   D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered
73. This year the writer’s roses were ______.
   A. removed from the rose bed
   B. picked along with the tomatoes
   C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight
   D. largely hidden under the tomato plant
74. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ______.
   A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
   B. show the hardship of growing the roses
   C. express her liking for the roses
   D. express her care for the tomatoes
75. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ______.
   A. the roses cost the writer little money
   B. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes
   C. someone will help the writer make the decision
   D. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes
