Failure is unavoidable on one’s way to success and should not be afraid of. If one wants to succeed, he should have a plan and stick to it.
Experiencing failure is unavoidable on your journey to success. Every defeat is only a small part of victory. You’ll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion(成比例) to the number of times you fail and keep trying.
Failure is nothing but education, and nothing but the first step to something better. You can’t be afraid to lose. It isn’t enough to just want something. You’re going to need a plan to get the things that you want.
The problem is learning how to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goals that you want to reach. With a definite step-by-step plan you cannot fail because each step will carry you along to the next step like a track. All you need is the plan, the road map and the courage to move on to your destination.
Knowing where you’re going is all you need to get there. You can’t get lost on a straight road.

On one’s way to success people are sure to experience failure, which can be regarded as education. People should only know what their plan is and stick to it until they succeed.
When it comes to the relationship between failure and success, I think failure is a key factor on my road to success. Since it is inevitable, we should not be afraid of it as it enables us to accumulate experience and finally brings us to our goal.
It suddenly occurs to me that I have experienced failure before. Ten months ago, I took part in an English writing contest after I had made full preparations for it. However, the theme of the writing was so unfamiliar to me that my mind went blank the instant I read it. I failed to write it and ranked last finally, feeling extremely depressed and frustrated.
Later, my best friend asked me to face my failure bravely, saying that every defeat is only a small part of victory. At that time, I came to realize that failure is nothing but the first step to something better. I finally walked out of the shadow of failure and moved on to my success.
阅读下面的短文,然后从A-F选项中,为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。

A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
