People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it's not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, mistakes are a dear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is, “You can't.” Look around you，everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When someone asked him how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times，but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn't mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
（1）If you are making a mistake, that means .
A.you're careful
B.you're kind
C.you're growing
D.you know nothing
（2）If you never try new things, you can't .
A.improve
B.create
C.spend
D.A and B
（3）When you make a mistake, you are closer to .
A.time
B.money
C.success
D.everything
（4）What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Never make mistakes.
B.You can make mistakes without thinking.
C.Sometimes it's good to make mistakes.
D.Making mistakes is terrible.

Do all the boys behave this way? What should I do to help him?

【题目】We can choose failure, but we can’t choose fear. That’s like what James Cameron said “Failure Is an Option, but Fear Is Not” at the end of his TED talk and I love it. We shouldn’t be afraid of facing failure, try to accept it and learn from it.

Make room for failure

Nobody wants to fail, but failure is often on your way to success. Geprge Bernard Shaw said, “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable(可敬的), but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” So if you never fail then it probably means that you do nothing. Failure shows that you actually do something instead of just sitting in your comfortable seat.

Learn from each failure

Don’t just fail and get nothing out of it. Learn something from each failure that makes you better and better.

Fail fast

Time isprecious, so if you failed then you’d better fail fast. Why? Because it will make you learn and improve faster. Don’t wait until everything is perfect. Instead, test your idea in the real world as soon as possible.

Don’t choose fear

Many people don’t want to work on something unknown. But fear is not a good choice, so you should be willing to try out your new ideas. Even if you aren’t successful, you will still come out better than before.

根据短文内容，选择最佳答案：

【1】In the writer’s opinion, failure is NOT .

A. useful B. terrible C. common

【2】Which of the following is George Bernard Shaw’s thought?

A. If you fail, you’d better fail fast.

B. If you never fail, it may mean you do nothing.

C. You should learn something from failure.

【3】From the passage, we know that we should .

A. be away from failure

B. fail every time

C. test our new ideas

【4】What does the underlined word “precious” mean?

A. 宝贵的 B. 公正的 C. 智慧的

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Failure is an option, but Fear is not.

B. Make room for failure

C. Fail fast as soon as possible.
