Moreno, Stanley, and 23 other students from Westfield State College were on vacation in Acapulco, Mexico. This was the last night in the hotel. It was 4 am, Moreno and Stanley came back from a party.

　　Just as Stanley went to sleep, he heard loud noise outside. From the balcony (阳台) of their fourth-floor room, Moreno and Stanley saw black smoke out of one window and heard people shouting.

　　Moreno ran out into the corridor and began knocking on doors and shouting, "Fire!" After that, he went upstairs in a hurry to tell other people. At the same time, Stanley was downstairs helping people get through the smoke-filled room. There he joined forces with Nalewanski, a 21-year-old boy who had a room on the second floor.

　　"Let's go," Nalewanski said. He and Stanley wet their shirts in the bathroom and put them around their mouths and noses so they could breathe. Then they ran up the stairs. On the fourth floor they found Moreno feeling terrible (Moreno had made it up to the eighth floor before turning back). But after making sure he could get back down on his own, they continued upstairs, knocking on the doors on every floor.

　　In the end, no one was seriously hurt. Moreno said, "There were hundreds of people in the hotel. It was our duty to help them."

In a small town in France, there was a farmer who lived alone. Every day he 31 a pound of butter to his neighbour, who was a baker, One day the baker decided to 32 the butter to see if he was getting a pound. After he weighed it, he found that he wasn't. The baker then took 33 　 farmer to the judge (法官).

The judge asked the farmer if he had any way to weigh the butler. The farmer replied. "I am so 34 that I do not have enough money to buy anything to weigh it, 35 I do have a kind of scale(天平). " The judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the buttery" The farmer replied, "Before the baker started buying butler from 36 , I had bought bread from him. So now every time when I bring home the bread from the baker, I put it On the scale and give him the butter of the same weight,"

In one way of thinking. failure is part of life. In 　31 way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often 　32 .Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13 ^th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider 　33 a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough 34 in the rock. He tried six times. On the 　35 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to 　36 the English . Edison , the inventor of the light bulb, made 37 　models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked 　 38 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have 　39　 failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't 　 40 ”.

So what? First，always think about your failure. What caused 　41 ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go 　 42　 next time.

Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some 　 43　 about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.

The third thing to keep in 　44 about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have 　45 ．
