四川省成都市航天中学10-11学年高二上学期期中考试

　 Do you agree to the following words? “Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you ___36___ and all the others burst into laughter. You feel very ___37___ and think the world is ___38___ you. But in fact, five minutes later, they have forgotten it ever ___39___.” The other day, when I ___40___ these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the ___41___.

The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of ___42___ is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid ___43___ trouble.

I admit that we should keep calm because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your ___44___ can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do ___45___ to make things better.

For example, we can be more careful next time we ___46___ the street; we can wear shoes that help to walk steadily; we can ___47___ tell the story to others so that they won’t make the same mistake. We should always try to make things better, both in daily life and in our studies. It’s an active attitude, which usually ___48___ good results.

I used to be a shy girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in ___49___ when I couldn’t answer it.

“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” The teacher said, “If you don’t, how can I know whether you know the answer or not?” ___50___ of my classmates burst into laughter. I blushed but the teacher asked me to go to the blackboard and ___51___ what I knew. If I had obeyed the words in the article, I would have ___52___. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s surprise, I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said: “Well done! I knew you could do it!”

Since then, I have become active in maths ___53___ in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know ___54___ I do can make things better. Everyone is the architect of his own fate.

If we make mistakes, we should ___55___ an active attitude. Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you cry alone.
