根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

    People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it's not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.

    At first, mistakes are a dear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is, “You can't.” Look around you,everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.

    Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When someone asked him how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times,but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn't work.

    Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn't mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.

(1)、If you are making a mistake, that means       .

A、you're careful B、you're kind C、you're growing D、you know nothing
(2)、If you never try new things, you can't       .

A、improve B、create C、spend D、A and B
(3)、When you make a mistake, you are closer to       .

A、time B、money C、success D、everything
(4)、What's the main idea of the passage?

A、Never make mistakes. B、You can make mistakes without thinking. C、Sometimes it's good to make mistakes. D、Making mistakes is terrible.
举一反三
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项回答问题或完成句子。

Few parents can hear the words "What can I do to help?" from their kids. Teenagers spend more time on video games, computers and mobile phones, so they help less with housework.

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits. But some parents are strongly against the idea. They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores. They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.

In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally (同等地) important role in developing the character of students. It is good for schools to give students such tasks, because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.

In recent years, some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some will complain the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some will even challenge the schools' teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students' best qualities.

What the primary school in Fuzhou doing is worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility (责任感) into students' minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students' in-school experiences more meaningful.

 阅读下列材料,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案

Have you seen any scarecrows (稻草人)? In the countryside of our country, some villagers like to set up some scarecrows in the fields in order to prevent birds from harming their crops. They think that this can play a role in driving away birds. In fact, not only farmers love to use scarecrows, but also some airports have installed scarecrows in such a developed technology today, which plays a very good role in driving away birds. Some people will say that birds are not fools, and they will come back to eat after a long time. So do the birds really feel scared? Can scarecrows really play a role in driving away birds? Not very — unless you're willing to put some extra(额外)effort into them.

While traditional scarecrows who couldn't move do work against "pest birds" (eg. crows and blackbirds), the effect is almost always temporary (暂时的). Over time, the birds get used to scarecrows who couldn't move and reuse their destructive (破坏性的)habits.

However, a few tricks can up your scarecrow's game. Researchers have learned that those with realistic facial features(特征)and brightly colored clothes are better at driving away birds. Also, moving a scarecrow around every few days often helps. According to several studies, flailing(大幅波动) scarecrows get the very best results.

Relationships may develop problems for different kinds of reasons. However, poor communication is often the reason why some people have a hard time solving these problems. Here are some suggestions for you to improve the communication between your partner and yourself.

Schedule(安排)time to just talk. When problems start, communication often breaks down and you may notice that you and your partner do not talk as much as you used to. To start improving your communication again, try to find a certain time to talk about anything.

Work on active listening skills. Problems may also appear in relationships if a partner feels like he or she is not being heard. To solve this problem, practise active listening skills when your partner is talking to you.

Express your appreciation(欣赏)for each other. Feeling unaccepted can cause problems in a relationship as well. That is why it is so important to remember to say things like "Thank you." and "I appreciate you." as often as possible.

Think carefully before you speak. Sometimes you may find yourself saying or wanting to say things that might make your partner feel bad about himself or herself. If so, take a moment to stop and think about what the problem is and what you could say to help find a better way to solve it.

Apologize if you make mistakes. Sometimes you will need to apologize in order to move forward with your partner. If you make an apology, make sure that it is sincere.

以下是一篇短文。请阅读全文并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。

Why do you open a school? If you ask Nadia Lopez this question, she would simply answer: to close a prison. Lopez is the founder of Mott Hall Bridges Academy, a public school in Brooklyn.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

To set up the school, Lopez faced many challenges. The greatest challenge was to get in touch with children without hope. At first, Lopez only had 45 kids. She once asked some girls,"{#blank#}2{#/blank#}" The answer was,"I don't know if I'm going to live that long." or"I have a lifelong goal of working in a fast- food restaurant nearby." These students had no idea that there were great chances outside their neighborhood.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} And they have tried their best to keep their students active and hopeful." We call our students‘ scholars (学者)' because they are lifelong learners. I chose the colors purple and black to remind students that they are excellent. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} They can be future engineers, scientists and even leaders who can and will take over this world," Lopez said.

A popular New York blogger heard about the school and wrote a post about it, telling people how the children struggled (挣扎), and why people must make education the most important thing. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} About 1.4 million dollars were raised for the school and its students got to take field trips to colleges and universities.

" Up to now, we have had three graduating classes (毕业班). They have nearly 200 children," said Lopez.

A. The post reached millions of people.

B. Where do you see yourself in five years?

C. It was one of the poorest areas in New York City.

D. Through education, they can have a great future.

E. Luckily, Lopez and her coworkers(同事) didn't give up.

F. Do you want to have lessons at school like kids in other areas?

If you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might think those products were {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in San Francisco. He found it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that so many products in the local shops were made in China." I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} were American brands, they were made in China."

 Toys are not the only things made in China." I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes," he explains." But I had to visit five or six stores {#blank#}6{#/blank#} finding a pair made in America!"

He realized that Americans can hardly avoid {#blank#}7{#/blank#} products made in China." In fact," he continues," there are so many things made in China—footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even {#blank#}8{#/blank#} flags are made in China!". Kang Jian thinks it's great that China does {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in making these everyday things. However, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} hopes that in the future China will also get better at making high- technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.
