In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story”

is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a

spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times to span the gap. On the

【百度文库】让每个人平等地提升自我

seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the

English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to

make one.

So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself?

What can you change so things will go right next time?

Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be.

Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you

shouldn’t be doing anyway.

The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you

may have failed. Remember, “You cannot win them all.”

1. This passage deals with two sides of failure. In section 1 the author talks mainly about ______.( )

A. the value of failure

C. famous failure

B. how people fail

D. how not to fail

2. Robert Bruce is mentioned in this passage to show that ______.( )

e must come before success

e is not all bad

will help us if we let it

who fail have plenty of company

3. Which of the following does the writer not tell us to do to cope with failure?( )

out our goals to see if they are right for us.

about failure as part of life

about a failure to find out what went wrong.

things that are beyond us.

4. The phrase “in top form” in paragraph 2 most probably means ______.( )

a high position

a best condition of skill

a right shape

a healthy state

5. We can conclude from the last paragraph of this passage that ______.( )

e is the third important thing in one’s life

is impossible to win a race without going through failure first

is important to take heart when meeting with failure

should live alone to experience failure

Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps

we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British

Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups

【百度文库】让每个人平等地提升自我

in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were

eleven prizewinners altogether.

winners, was called ‘Sunshine Superman’ by one newspaper writing about his design. Neil Hunt, one of the prizeIt’s important, when people study the weather, to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours

of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate and

this is very important for research into ways of using solar power. With his prize of ￡100, Neil plans to carry on inventing.

You can do so much with animation（动画片）. Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures

which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on

road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks

falling, trains moving, horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!

The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more

schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of ‘pupil power’!

The White House is the home of the President of the United States and his family. It wasn’t called the White House
