It is said that usually people learn from their experiences and the mistakes they make throughout their lives. This is correct because life teaches us what is correct to do and what is not.
Let’s consider a mistake that one has made while trying to learn to drive. It is true that, for a beginner, it is common to make mistakes, but after doing something wrong once, twice or three times, it is quite impossible to make the same mistake a fourth time. Everyone tries their best in order to improve their skills and they will be very pleased to notice that these improvements really happen.
On the other hand, being successful in everything he does, one cannot know what failure means. He would always see only the best side of things and it would be difficult for him to face the difficulties to come in the future. Here we can mention the case of a very successful football player, who has known what fame (名声) is from the very beginning of his career. We have to admit that most of his luck originates from the great talent that he was born with. But some fellow players can also work to achieve the same thing because they make mistakes in their games and they learn from each mistake that they make.
In the end, we can say that one needs to make mistakes in life in order to better appreciate things. And at the same time, mistakes teach us how important it is to fight for something we wish for in life. Of course, moments of happiness will come in return when we see the changes or improvements.
【小题1】The author mentions learning driving in the second paragraph to ______________.

A．make a comparison
B．explain that learning is a slow process
C．show that driving is a very difficult skill
D．prove that success results from failure
【小题2】What is the author’s attitude towards someone that is always successful at something?
A．He thinks they are lucky.B．He is bored with them.
C．He wants to learn from them.D．He believes their success is a bad thing.
【小题3】Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

     A few years ago I had an "aha!" moment regarding handwriting.
     I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task.
It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be. I finally
became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year, maybe two, and
yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.
     It was a very important event in the computerization of life-a sign that the informal. Friendly
communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages
and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters, and we recognized one
another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.
     As a child visiting my father's office, I was pleased to recognize, in little notes on the desks of his staff,
the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge-except that those notes
were signed "dad" instead of "RFW".
     All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting, a book by
Florey. Sire shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to
teach children to write well, but many others argue that people in a digital age can't be expected to learn to
hold a pen.
     I don't buy it.
     I don't want to see anyone cut off from the expressive,personal associations that a pen still promotes
better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer, part of really getting to know their subjects is
learning to read their handwriting.
     What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting
of 16th-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand-as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying
classical paintings. However, they have worked in many school systems.
1. Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague's handwriting?
A. He had worked with his colleague long enough.
B. His colleague's handwriting was so beautiful.
C. His colleague's handwriting was so terrible.
D. He still had a 1ot of work to do.
2. People working together in an office used to _____.
A. talk more about handwriting
B. take more notes on workdays
C. know better one another's handwriting
D. communicate better with one another
3. The author's father wrote notes in pen _____.
A. to both his family and his staff
B. to his family in small letters
C. to his family on the fridge
D. to his staff on the desk
4. According to the author,handwritten notes _____.
A. are harder to teach in schools
B. attract more attention
C. are used only between friends
D. carry more message
5. We can learn from the passage that the author _____.
A. thinks it impossible to teach handwriting
B. does not want to lose handwriting
C. puts the blame on the computer
D. does not agree with Florey
