Question

【题目】Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination(决心). A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In myopinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will hardly achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed（失望的） and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.

Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.

Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.

In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of reaching our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

【解析】本文主要告诉我们无论遇到什么样的困难我们都不要放弃。如果我们放弃了我们将一无所获，只要不放弃，即使失败了，我们也学到了新的技能。另外，如果我们失败了，我们可以从中吸取教训，如果不再尝试，吸取教训的机会就浪费了。再者，只有不断的尝试，我们才能从中获取自信，如果不尝试，久而久之我们将怀疑自己的能力。

【1】根据第一段中的句子Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination(决心).可知，“永不放弃”是鼓励的话语，can后跟动词原形，故答案为encourage。

【2】根据第一段中的句子“In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.” 在我看来，成功的决心是一个很重要的品质。因此，我相信我们不应该放弃。want to do想做某事，结合句意，答案为to succeed。

【3】根据第二段中的句子“One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will hardly achieve anything.”可知，如果我们放弃的太容易，我们几乎什么都不会实现。not anything=nothing，故答案为nothing。

【4】根据“It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed（失望的）and should try again.” 所以当我们第一次尝试新事物失败时，我们不应该放弃心，而是再试一次。Should后跟动词原形，故答案为lose。

【5】根据第二段的句子“if we always give up when we fail，we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.”可知"如果失败就放弃，那我们将永远不会有进步"，make progress取得进步，to后跟动词原形，故答案是make。

【6】从第三段的句子“”If we do not try again，the lesson we have learned is wasted.如果不再尝试，吸取教训的机会就浪费了。可知答案是lesson。

【7】根据“If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.” 如果我们从不挑战自己，我们就会开始怀疑自己的能力。可知，遇到困难我们不能放弃，而是要不断挑战自己，答案为challenge。

【8】短文最后一段是做了个总结，从in short"总而言之"可知答案是Conclusion。

【9】根据第五段的句子“if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals any more.”如果我们放弃了，我们就没有机会实现我们的目标了，可知答案为chance。

【10】根据短文最后的句子“but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.” 但是如果我们继续努力，总有一天我们会成功的。one day=someday总有一天，故答案为someday。
