     Why You Should Celebrate Your Mistakes
     When you make a mistake,big or small,cherish(珍视) it like it's the most precious thing in the world.
Because in some ways,it is.
     Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes,beat ourselves up about it,feel like failures,get mad at
ourselves.
     And that's only natural:most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad,that we
should try to avoid mistakes.We've been scolded when we make mistakes-at home,school and work.
Maybe not always,but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet  without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If  you think about it that way, mistakes should be
cherished  and  celebrated  for being one of  the most amazing things in the world:they  make learning
possible;they make growth and improvement possible.
     By trial and error-trying things,making mistakes,and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out
how to make electric light,to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel,to fly.
     Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler,make speech possible,make works of genius
possible.
     Think about how we learn:we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or
know how to do it.You don't just read about painting,or writing,or computer programming,or baking,or
playing the piano,and know how to do them right away.Instead,you get information about something,from
reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then
you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on
the results of your real-world experimentation...and repeat,making mistakes,learning from those mistakes,
until you've pretty much learned how to do something.That's how we learn as babies and toddlers,and how
we learn as adults.Mistakes are how we learn to do something new-because if you succeed at something,
it's probably something you already knew how to do.You haven't really grown much from that success-at
most it's the last step on your journey,not the whole journey.Most of the journey was made up of mistakes,
if it's a good journey.
     So if you value learning,if you value growing and improving,then you should value mistakes.They are
amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.
1.Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?
A.Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.
B.Because it's a natural part in our life.
C.Because we've been taught so from a young age.
D.Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers.
2.According to the passage,what is the right attitude to mistakes?
A.We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B.We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C.We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.
D.We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
3.The underlined word "toddler" in Paragraph 6 probably means __________.
A.a small child learning to walk
B.a kindergarten child learning to draw
C.a primary pupil learning to read
D.a school teenager learning to write
4.We can learn from the passage that __________.
A.most of us can really grow from success
B.growing and improving are based on mistakes
C.we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D.we read about something and know how to do it right away

     For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing
special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at.
It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfishness,
not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other
people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.
     You don't have to be spinelss (软弱的) in order to be popular, in fact, you will be liked and respected
if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite
to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do
not interest you is one way to develop a good character.
     You can not expect to be perfect, and so you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes.
Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed (责备) unless he refuses to learn from them. Many
young people become discouraged when they know in themselves qualities (品格) that they do not like-
selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults
(过错) and have to fight against them.
     At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, the
best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense
to try to make it right. Perhaps you don't like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself,
too. To be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn
out all right, then you will have to learn to get along the best with situation, without thinking too much about
it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can't change.
1. One of the two ways the author suggested for us to get along with others is _____.
[     ]
A. to draw attention of our friends
B. to demand the best share of everything
C. to look for treasure in order to be successful
D. to pay more attention to other people's strong points
2. According to the passage, if one wants to be popular one needs to _____.
[     ]
A. be polite and friendly
B. give up some rights
C. avoid arguing with other people
D. be ready to change his or her character
3. The passage shows that there is no perfect person but someone should be blamed if he _____.
[     ]
A. is no better than others
B. is selfish and lazy
C. does not draw a lesson from his own fault
D. is very happy about his unpleasant quality
4. The passage implies (暗示) that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself _____.
[     ]
A. no better than other
B. not the same as others
C. as having something better than others
D. as having better chances than others

     I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun. You may think people in
 such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken
ideas about the nature of happiness.
     Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness. The truth is that fun and happiness
have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is
what we experience after an act. It is a deep, long-lasting emotion.
     Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun
activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But
they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
     I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that
happiness has nothing to do with fun. They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy
cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness". But in memoir(回忆录)after
memoir, they expose the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism,
drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness.
     Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less
satisfying. If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For
commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement.
 Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
     Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun
over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want.
Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night' s sleep. I don't know any parent who
would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
     Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the
most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more
hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new
car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.
And it frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were
so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

1. What is the passage mainly about?_____
A. Fun and happiness.
B. Success and satisfaction.
C. Marriage and commitment.
D. Entertainment and responsibility.
2. The author probably agrees that _____.
A. fun creates long - lasting satisfaction
B. long - standing fun may lead to happiness
C. fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
D. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
3. What does the author think of marriage?______
A. It ends in pain.
B. It means commitment.
C. It affords greater fun.
D. It leads to raising children.
4. If one gets the real meaning of happiness, he ______.
A. will start a business
B. won't place too much value on money
C. will seek for freedom
D. won't devote himself to his family
     Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in
movies like Revenge(复仇) of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull
laborers, their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look
clumsy when it comes to sports.  
     How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?  
     Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the choral group,
serves on the student council(学生会) and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she
has maintained A's in every subject. Melendres, now a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was
student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well,
exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a
speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight A's in his regular classes, plus bonus points
for A's in two college-level courses.  
      How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren't the only answer. "Top
grades don't always go to the brightest students," declares Herbert Walberg, professor of education at
the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students.
"Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天赋的) abilities counts for more. Much more."  
     In fact, Walberg says, students with high I.Q.s sometimes don't do as well as classmates with lower I.Q.s. For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down.   Hard work isn't the
whole story, either. "It's not how long you sit there with the books open," said one of the many A students we interviewed. "It's what you do while you're sitting." Indeed, some of these students actually put in
fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.  
     The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily
learn.
1. The "nerds" can probably be __________.
A. dull bookworms lacking sports and social skills
B. successful top students popular with their peers
C. students with certain learning difficulties
D. born leaders crazy about social activities
2. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?
A. Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students.
B. People have unfavorable impression of straight-A students.
C. Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films.
D. Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society.
3. Some students become super-achievers mainly because ________.
A. they are born cleverer than others
B. they worker longer hours on study
C. they make full use of their abilities
D. they know the short cut to success
4. What will be talked about after the last paragraph?
A. The interviews with more students.
B. The role I.Q. plays in learning well.
C. The techniques to be better learners.
D. The achievements top students make.
5. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Students needn't work hard on study any more.
B. The brightest students can never get top grades.
C. Top students certainly achieve all-around developments.
D. Students with average I.Q.s can become super-achievers.

     When you think of success, you think of relative achievements in your own world. Each element of your
world is important to you, and there is no need to compare with others. You cannot affect the success of
others; you can affect your own success.
     Success is very much achievable to everybody. Believe that and you have taken the first step. If you do
not believe in yourself, then building self-esteem is your first task. However, believing in your ability to achieve
whatever you want to succeed in, is very important if you are not to be held back by self-doubt throughout
your journey to success.
     There are many things that will affect your ability to succeed, and it is best to focus on those under your
immediate control. Once you do that, then the characteristics you develop can be applied to becoming
successful in a range of activities.
     What is important to you is that, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you should appreciate
your own achievements. Appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-confidence and your determination
to succeed.
     Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to
research, plan, work hard and practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to
recover and learn from setbacks. At the beginning of whatever you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision
of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable tar gets can all play an important role.
     All these qualities, skills and characteristics can be learned and developed. But it is up to you to get things
started. Those who do not start travel nowhere. For others, life can be a continuous journey of fulfillment.
1. According to the passage, if you want to achieve success, what should you do first?
A. Don't compare with others.
B. Bring everything under control.
C. Find out what you have in mind.
D. Feel confident about your ability.
2. Why should you appreciate your own achievements according to the passage?
A. It will allow you to recover from past failures.
B. It will remind you of the vision of your future.
C. It will motivate you to continue pursuing success.
D. It will help you develop your characteristics in everything.
3. The underlined word "setbacks" (in paragraph 5) probably means _____.
A. failures
B. troubles
C. hesitation
D. depression
4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. If you are stuck where you are, you cannot travel far.
B. If you don't start trying, you'll never embrace success.
C. If you are brave enough, you can get whatever you want.
D. If you don't study, you can never reach the destination.

                                                Success Is Not a Destination (目的地)
     Should people stop once they have achieved something? No! In life, they are always trying to make
things better or have more of the same success.
     Athletes are constantly striving (努力) to shorten time for races, increase heights or distances.
     The world of medicine has had its series of successes, too. Christian Barnard performed several
successful heart transplants. Other medical experts have achieved organ transplants. Throughout the
ages, mankind has found treatments and cures for cancer and other diseases. A cure for AIDS might
soon be discovered.
     Age does not seem to slow down achievers. Tina Tuner at 54 is still singing in abundance (丰富)
and attracting sell-out crowds wherever she goes.
     Comedian George Burns, in his 90s, wants to perform at Caesar's Palace when he turns 100.
     Success does not belong only to the rich and famous. It should be the goal of everyone. Many
successful people have had humble beginnings.
     Would you believe that actress Michelle Pfeifer of Cat was a supermarket checkout girl?
     At work, we strive for achievement, too. Success may mean organizing a conference more effectively
and efficiently each year. Sometimes, it is not a pat on the back or the promotion that makes it worthwhile.
     Often, it is the inner thrill (一阵激动) and satisfaction of achievement, no matter how small it may be.
     Aiming for success doesn't mean you are greedy or dissatisfied. It is all part of gaining new experiences.
It ultimately (最终) makes you a more interesting and useful person in society.
     The journey to success has its road blocks, discouragement and distractions. It takes great resourcefulness
and achievement to overcome obstacles and setbacks to move on successfully.
1. If an athlete can shorten time in races, he/she _____.
A. is a real success
B. will stop his/her steps forward
C. is always sure to win
D. is the best runner of all
2. The expression "a pat on the back" probably means "_____".
A. patting somebody on the back
B. something important
C. singing somebody's praises
D. anything important
3. Which statement below is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Man now can transplant organs.
B. Man now can cure AIDS.
C. Not all successful people have humble beginnings.
D. Michelle was once a supermarket checkout girl.
4. The writer of the passage agrees to all the ideas EXCEPT that _____.
A. any small success will make us excited
B. organizing a conference is a success
C. aiming for success is to gain new experiences in life
