9．Young people should learn how to some money for the future．（　　）

8．After lunch，I walked back home．I was just to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping．It wasn't much but，as I turned，my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too．A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime．
The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter．It Can be nothing more than a penny．Whatever the coin is，no one ignores the sound of it．It got me thinking about sounds again．We are surrounded by so many sounds that attract the most attention．
People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine，a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the street．When I'm in New York，I'm a New Yorker．I don't turn either．Like the natives，I hardly hear a siren（警报）there．
However，at home in my little town in Connecticut，it's different．The distant sound of a police car，all emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I'm seated and brings me to the window if I'm in bed．It's the quietest sounds that have most effect on us．not the loudest．In the middle of the night，I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away thigh three closed doors．I've been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imaginnation turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house．How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime？
I'm quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are，I've turned against whistling，for instance：I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I've been associating the whistler with a nervous person making unconscious noises．The tapping，tapping，tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me．I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it．

1．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．
