阅读下面短文，将短文中画线部分的句子译成中文。

Failure（失败）is a part of life．1．Whatever we do, there are always two possible results success and failure．There is no doubt（怀疑）that every one of us wants to be successful，but we can’t always avoid（避免）failure．

People have different opinions about the failure．Some people regard failure as a bad thing．They hold that they should always do everything well．If they fail in something，they will lose their confidence．2．Other people regard failure as a chance to learn．They redo（重做）what they failed to do．They know complaining won’t help．

As an old saying goes，“Failure is the mother of success．”As long as we keep to what is right and correct what is wrong in time，we will have success．In my opinion, failure is not bad，it's not good，either．

In one’s life，one spends the most time  1  with oneself．But one has the least understanding of oneself．When you are successful，you may be very proud．When you  2  ，you may lose heart．If you don’t get a thorough understanding of yourself（彻悟自我），you may miss many chances in life．

To get a thorough understanding of yourself is to know well about yourself．You may realize your strong points and weak  3 ．You may hope for a wonderful future．but be sure not to expect too much because not  4  dreams can come true．You may be confident enough to meet challenges，but first you should know  5  ．

To get a thorough understanding of yourself needs self-appreciation（自我欣赏）．Maybe you think you are a tall tree  6  just small grass，but you can always have your own way of being there．As soon as you get full confidence in yourself, you are sure to face any trouble．

To get a thorough understanding of yourself also means to  7  yourself．When you are angry，find a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt．When you are  8 ，tell your friends about it to change the mood（心情）into a good one．When you are tired，get a good sleep．If you don’t know when and how you should look after yourself you  9  be able to stay away from illness．

__10  can tell what will happen in the future．Get a thorough understanding of yourself．And you will get full control（控制）of yourself and find your life full of color．

Dear Mrs. Smith,

I was a student of yours in Grade Six, and I hope you still remember me．I’m writing this letter because I want to let you know that the school year with you was important and special to me．It made a big contribution（贡献） to my life．

I know I was very quiet in your class，and you never said much to me．But you did something that made a big difference in my life．You see，all through my first year in schools，I hated to read．Books were just words that had very little to do with me, and I was bored by them．I’ll never forget the first day of Grade Six when you took out a thick（厚的）book and began to read the story to our class．Your voice seemed to change with the people in the story，and you drew pictures in my mind as you read aloud. Since that day，I couldn’t wait until after lunch when you would read to the class．You read us all kinds of wonderful books．

During the summer after my year in your class，I missed hearing the stories you would read．So one day I picked up a book and read it all on my own．I found out that I could make the words interesting, too. Now，I love to read! Thank you for opening the world of books for me．

Yours,

Linda
