牛津版(深圳·广州)初中英语八年级上学期期末测试
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.

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.
