We've all met with something that slows us down, for example, the bump(颠簸)in the road，the setback. You just have to keep in mind that a setback is only temporary and greater things lie ahead. Therefore, keep moving forward, developing what you have, since you've already built a solid foundation on which you can rely.
It is easy just to quit，give up and ignore the hard work you have put into something. But we believe in the “two steps forward, one step back” philosophy (哲学). So how can you react when something doesn't turn out as you've expected it to be?
First，be objective. Step back and look at the situation. Is your setback really that significant，or will it just require a little extra effort? Then, plan your next move. You can ask for help. Don't be afraid or ashamed to do this. Frequently, people are more than willing to give you support and advice.You don't have to be perfect; after all, nobody else is. Next, bounce back. Reevaluate the goals you have set for yourself at the beginning and retool(改组) them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific, but that doesn't mean they can't be flexible. Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or a failure, view it with success. Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done, after you have put your all into it. Instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time, take a moment to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished.
Above all，don't live with regrets. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up, or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them. One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it.

A. we are supposed to quit and ignore the hard work

D. we are expected to look at things in an allround way

A. to keep moving forward to your goals
B. to depend on others' support and advice
C. to sit back and reward yourself for your success

on getting better．" Ridley's critics have accused him of his views on climate change and the free market．Yet Ridley,54,sticks to his guns．"It is not mad to believe in a happy future for people and the planet．
"he says．Ridley,who's been a foreign correspondent,a zoologist,an economist,and a financier,brings a
broad view to his sunny outlook．"People say I'm bonkers to claim the world will go on getting better.
yet I can't stop myself,"he says．Read on to see how Ridley makes his case．
Compared with 50 years ago,when I was just four years old,the average human
now earns nearly three times as much money,eats one third more calories,and can expect to live one third longer．In fact,
it's hard to find any region of the world that's worse off now than it was then,even though the global
population has more than doubled over that period．
City citizens take up less space,use less energy,and have less impact on natural ecosystems than
country livers．The world's cities now contain over half its people,but they occupy less than 3 percent
of its land．Urban growth may worry environmentalism,but living in the country is not the best way to
care for the earth．The best thing we can do for the planet is build more skyscrapers．
The rich get richer,but the poor do even better．Between 1980 and 2000,the poor doubled their
consumption．Nigerians are twice as rich and live nine more years．The percentage of the world's
people living in absolute poverty has dropped by over half．The United Nations estimates that poverty
was reduced more in the past 50 years than in the previous 500．
