【题目】Failure means the beginning of something new. It opens yourself to new opportunities. 1As a matter of fact, sometimes it helps people realize the right thing to do.

2 Failing at something is not the end of the world. In fact, it is more like a warning to re-think about your decisions. It is important that we all fail sometimes in order to strengthen ourselves.

Failing at something often brings new experiences and opportunities that can improve you at whatever you failed at. 3Knowing well the situation you are in is the basis of your future success. Having another opportunity at something can be important in life when trying to reach your goals or to accomplish something important to you.

We have all learned new skills in life and we learned them only after first failing to do them properly. 4However, we are all humans and it is human nature to hate failure. I think it is especially difficulty for us as teenagers. Somehow, because we are getting older, we feel we should learn more quickly and succeed more quickly than we did when we were younger. Failure is the most natural thing on the way towards achievements. 5.

The opportunities brought on from failure are usually more rewarding than actually succeeding in the first place. Failure isn’t always something to fear or to avoid. In lots of cases failure provides a greater chance to learn the right way.

A. We know this is true.

B. Failure isn’t always bad.

C. Failure can be avoided in some cases.

D. Failing helps you realize the reality.

E. A fear of failure is likely to lead to pressure.

F. Failure helps you adjust your plans.

G. It should be seen as a step on the road to success.

Cold blesses us all

It's November, the time of year when people often get blessed more. This is not because God likes cold weather, nor because others are fee ling generous with Thanksgiving just around the corner.1

Colds and the flu are the most common illnesses people get in autumn and winter as the weather gets colder. They are all caused by viruses, but colds are generally milder—you'll feel annoyed but not as if you want to die.

Teenagers catch average six to ten colds a year, according to statistics from the M inistry of Health, while adults average two to four.Morethan200virusescausecoldsymptoms.2 You can be contagious(传染的)one day before symptoms develop and for up to five days after becoming sick.

The signature symptom of a cold is a runny nose. The flu will make you burn with fever, ache all over, feel extremely tired and cough intensely. The flu can sometimes lead to more serious diseases, such as pneumonia.

3A doctor can test you to see whether you have the flu in the first few days of the illness. But some treatments for both are pretty much the same:

4 Many doctors consider water a weapon against the common cold. It helps your blood drive off viruses and flood them out.

● Keep warm. You might be cold one minute and hot the next, and wearing several layers is very important.

● Wash your hands frequently. You don't want to make it worse by spreading the flu to everyone else. Also, avoid sharing cups and eating utensil s(餐具) with other people.

5But if your flu symptoms get worse, go to a hospital or clinic right away.

A.You can pass on the flu before you even know you have it.

B.Drink lots of water.

C.Taking medicine on time is a good way to prevent the illness.

D."Bless you!" is a common response to sneezes, the symptom of catching a cold or the flu.

E.Get lots of sleep and take it easy.

F.Sometimes, it's hard to tell a cold from the flu based on symptoms alone.

G.Most people who catch the flu get better without having to see their doctor.

【题目】Is it OK for children to count on their fingers? Generations of pupils have been discouraged by their teachers from using their hands when learning maths. But a new research article published in Frontiers in Education shows using fingers may be a very important part of maths learning.

The article, by Professor Tim Jay of Sheffield Hallam University and independent researcher Dr Julie Betenson, substantiates what parents have long felt -- that the finger games children often play at home are central to their education.

The researchers worked with 137 primary pupils aged between six and seven. All the children were given different combinations of counting and number games to play -- but only some were given exercises which involved finger-training. Some pupils played games involving number symbols, such as dominoes, shut-the-box, or snakes and ladders. Other pupils were asked to play finger games, such as being asked to hold up a given number of fingers, or numbering fingers from 1 to 5 and then having to match one of them by touching it against the corresponding(对应) finger on the other hand, or following coloured lines using a particular finger. Both these groups did a little better in maths tests than a third group of pupils who had simply had 'business as usual' with their teachers. But the group which did both the counting and the finger games performed far better.

This study provides evidence that fingers provide children with a “bridge” between different representations of numbers, which can be verbal, written or symbolic. Combined finger training and number games could be a useful tool for teachers to support children's understanding of numbers.

C. By giving an example D. By making comparisons

2The underlined word “substantiates” in paragraph 2 most probably means “______”.

3What can we know about the research mentioned in the text?

A. It is carried out by two university professors

B. Its research subjects are mostly pre-school children

C. It is based on the comparison of two groups of children

D. Its findings should draw the attention of math teachers.

C. Helpful D. Unique

【题目】Aerial(空中的)performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs, but she never let it stop her.

Wrapped in a loop(圈)of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back, high above the ground a move that’s all the more daring because she has no legs.

Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a bright smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket(桶), they refused.

Jennifer soon learned to walk — and run — on her hands and bottom, and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline (蹦床)with her three older brothers. “ My parents didn’t treat me differently so I didn’t grasp the concept that I was different. I knew I didn’t have legs but that wasn’t stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do. "

At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs, but she never really took to them — she moved more freely without.

In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the women’s gymnastics team, and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US. When Moceanu and the women’s team won gold, Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercises down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.

At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.

Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.

【题目】David Cameron is urging today’s youngesters to abandon French to concentrate on the tongue of the future—Mandarin(普通话)。

Cameron said: “I want Britain linked up to the world’s fast-growing economies. And that includes our young people learning the languages to seal tomorrow’s business deals.”

“By the time the children born today leave school, China is to be the world’s largest economy. So it’s time to look beyond the traditional focus on French and German and get many more children learning Mandarin.” To strengthen his message , he quoted Nelson Mandela—the former president of South Africa who said “If you talk to a man in a language he understands that goes to his head; if you talk to him in his own language that goes to his heart.”

Cameron said that a partnership between the British Council (英国文化协会) and Hanban will double the number of Chinese language assistants in the UK by 2016 and provide increased funding to schools of offering Mandarin as a language choice. In a development of the UK—China School Partnership programme, funding will also be provided for 60 headteachers to make study visits to China in 2014.

In recent research the British Council found only 1% of the adult population speaks Mandarin to a level that allows them to conduct a basic conversation. Just 3,000 pupils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland entered for Chinese languages GCSEs in 2013, putting it far behind the traditional choices of French with 177,000, Spanish with 91,000 and German with 62,000 entrants(加入者), as well as Urdu, Polish and Arabic.

Professor Dame Helen Wallace, the British Academy’s foreign secretary, said, “ a lack of qualified teachers could be a barrier to improve its popularity.”

Laura Chan, one of the co—founders of a bilingual Mandarin—English primary school, said the prime minister’s announcement was good news for the status of Mandarin. She said, “It’s a great help. It will increase people’s awareness of Mandarin as a language they can learn.”

1What is the text mainly talking about?

B. David Cameron has visited China for three days.

C. Chinese language is very popular with British people.

D. The cooperation is important between the UK and China.

2Why does David Cameron urge students to learn Chinese?

A. Because Chinese will be a widely—used language in the world.

B. Because there are many Chinese people living in Britain.

C. Because he thinks China will become the largest economy.

D. Because only a few of British people can communicate in Chinese.

3What is the writer’s attitude to the popularity of Mandarin?

A. It’s wonderful but it also has some problems.

B. It can be a great waste of time and energy.

C. It’s only a design for the youngsters later.

D. It’s only a way to help students to travel abroad.
