Using the Internet and CD-ROM databases in the library
Bramley College now has full electronic information resources in the College Library to help you in your studies. On CD-ROM in the library we have about fifty databases (数据库), including many statistical sources. Want to know the average rainfall in Tokyo? It’s easy to find out.
You can conduct your own CD-ROM search for no charge, and you can print out your results on the library printers using your library photocopying card. Alternatively, you can download your results to disk, again for no charge, but bring your own USB flash disk ( U盘 ) or CD-ROM. If you are not sure how to conduct a search for yourself, librarians can do it for you , but we charge $5 each time for this service, no matter how long or how short a time it takes.
All library workstations have access to the Internet, so you can find the Web-based information you need quickly and easily. If you are unfamiliar with using the Internet, help is available in several ways. You can start with the online tutorial ( 指南) Netstart. The tutorial will take you through the basic step to using the Internet, at any time convenient to you. If you prefer, ask one of the librarians for Internet advice ( at times between 8:00 am and 12：00 am weekdays ) or attend one of the introductory group sessions that are held in the first two weeks of each term.
A word of warning: demand for access to library workstations is very high, so you are strongly advised to book a workstation, and we have to limit your use to a maximum of one hour at any one time. Also, use of the computers is limited to students only, so you may be asked to show your Student Identification Card to make a booking, or while using the workstations.

Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.?

Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child's hurriedly-made table as “perfect”!Even though it couldn't stand on uneven (not same in height) legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.?

The trouble with failure—prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young 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 who's not invited to a birthday party, who doesn't make the honor roll or the baseball team feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort prize or say “It doesn't matter”,because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master it.

Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children exactly alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “Why did I fail?”. Control the natural impulse(冲动) to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don't be shy about asking them.?

This passage mainly tells us about _______.?

A. the reasons why people fail

B. how to fail?

C. the ways to prevent failures

D. the importance of facing failures?

When the writer says “every person has the right to fail”, he means to say _______.

A. the world is full of failures 　　　　　　 

B. no one is perfect?

C. failures are quite common in our lives　　　　　

D. no one can grow up mentally without failures?

By “protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed”, the writer means that most parents try their best _______.?

A. to let their children know that they won't fail?

B. not to teach their children about knowledge of failure?

C. to provide their children for the knowledge against failure?

D. to keep their children from realizing that they failed?

According to the writer, _______.

A. parents should tell their children to think nothing of not being chosen into a football team?

B. children should be encouraged to get rid of disappointment all by themselves

C. parents should judge what their children have done as it is?

D. children should learn to enjoy a game that they won't win??

Tolerance: Respect the difference in others
You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place   36  you learn to get on well with people. But this is not  37  easy. What can you do   38  you just don’t like one of your classmates?
If you discover that you have problems   39  your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the   40  to realize and respect the  41  in others. We can not change the way that other people do,   42  it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Practicing tolerance will allow everyone to form better  43  with each other. Getting to know someone   44  help you understand why they do things  45  from you. It is important to remember that something different does not exactly mean that it is bad.  46  teaches us to keep an even (平和的) temper and open mind..
You need to  47  an old saying, “Treat others how you want  48 ”. You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is   49  to treat them with equal kindness. If you tolerate   50  it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to  51  who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should be   52  of the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to   53  tolerance, because it will make everyone’s lives easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very   54 , and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make  55 .

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words.
In   16  a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend  17  can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are  18__  readers. Most of us develop poor reading    19  at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency（缺乏）  20  in the actual stuff of language itself — words. Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.   21 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing（退回） to  22 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.
Another habit which   23  down the speed of reading is vocalization — sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an   24 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined（预先确定的） speed．The bar is set at a slightly faster rate   25   the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The device forces the reader to read fast,   26  word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization（默读）practically impossible.
At first   27  is sacrificed for speed．But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your understanding will   28 . Many people have found their reading skill greatly improved after some training.  29  Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 182 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can    30  through a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
