Uncle Sam and Aunt Kate came to visit us from America last weekend. This was  36 first time to come to Hong Kong. Yesterday my family showed them around Hong Kong.

We got up early in the morning and had breakfast at home. First, we went to the tram(有轨电车) station and   37  a tram. This was Uncle Sam and Aunt Kate’s first   38   on a tram. They thought that it was    39   and they liked the “Ding! Ding!” sound. We    40   the tram at Central. Then we took a boat to Tsim Sha Tsui. On the way, Uncle Sam took a video of many buildings. The wind blew softly on our faces. We    41   a lot.

After having a rest, we went to a restaurant for      42   . It was famous for nice food. We   43   a lot of food. I liked pork pies best    44   I ate three. Aunt Kate liked rice dumplings most. After lunch, we went to the Avenue of Stars. Uncle Sam and Aunt Kate were very    45   when they saw the signatures(签名) and handprints(手印) of some famous stars. But it was a little fun to me. In all, we had a good time that day.

Failure （失败）often happens in our daily life. 　26　 may fail in their school exams, scientists may fail in their research, and athletes may fail in their competitions. Although failure 27 　to everyone, 　28　 different people have different attitudes towards failure. Some people don’t think their failure is very 29 at all. So they pay 30　 attention to it . As a result, they will fail again 31 . Some people think 32 they are fools（傻瓜）and they lose their confidence (信心)after they fail in something. So they 　33 their time and energy(精力) 　　on useless things and they may really be fools as they have thought.

Other people are quite different 34　 those two kinds of people mentioned above. Instead of 35 frustrated, they draw a 36　 from every failure and become more experienced(有经验的).After hard work, they will be 37 in the end. It is said that failure is 38 mother of success. Success will be gained(赢得) after many times of failures 39 we are good at drawing lessons from our failures.

　 In 40 opinion, failure is not a bad thing. The really bad thing is not learning from failure or even losing heart after failure.
