“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very  36  and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they have  37   it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the  38  .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of  39  is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid  40  trouble.
I admit that we should keep  41  because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your  42  can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 43  to make things better.
I used to be a(n)  44  girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in  45 when I couldn’t answer it.
“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know   46  you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher  47  me to go to the blackboard and  48  what I knew. If I had  49  the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s  50 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I  51  you could do it!”
Since then, I have become active in maths as  52  as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know  53  I do can make things better. Everyone is the  54  of his own fate.
If we make mistakes, we should take on an active 55  . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.

Most recently, it's very common in students that they need a parent present for job interviews.     

Naturally, it's easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us.We—as parents—are so eager to shelter our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them.As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself constantly that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live without me.So, I'll let them fail.

    I'll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow.Although failure comes along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc, these will be part of growth for them.And leaving them alone is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today.From terrorism and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish.

    My children now are becoming little masters of compromise(妥协),but they try to negotiate (协商) everything now.It's a small price to help them learn a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don't accompany them on job interviews.

1.Why do parents accompany their kids on job interviews?

    A.Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties.

    B.Because they think they can help them on the questions.

    C.Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews.

    D.Because their kids strongly request them to do so.

2.According to the author, what is beneficial to kids' development?

    A.Sheltering them.                     B.Keeping them safe.

    C.Leaving them alone.                  C.Blaming them.

3.Why does the author stress failure in kids' life?

    A.To make them stronger than other kids.

    B.To help them grow in this tough world.

    C.To help them develop all social skills.

    D.To make them learn to compromise.

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

    A.Never Shelter Your Kids                B.Let Your Kids Fail

    C.Be Eager to Grow Up                  D.Live Without Parents
