    Chantelle was born in Toronto, Canada. At the age of four she started to develop {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(patch) of white skin and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(diagnose) with vitiligo. No one really knows why one percent of people {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(have) this skin condition, and there is no real cure.

    At school, Chantelle was bullied for being different. The other kids often called her a 'cow', because of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} way her skin looked. She moved school several times and finally left school at 16. From now on, she decided, she {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) proud of her skin.

    She got down to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (post) photos of herself on Facebook and soon was 'spotted' by a Canadian YouTube star, Shannon Boodram, who asked her to be in a music video.

    Fu Xuewei, a 25-year-old girl from Chengdu, China {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (recent) shared a beautiful set of wedding photos on the Internet. However, there's a debate on the photographs, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} no groom (新郎) seems to be found in the photos. In fact, the only people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (feature) in the photos are Ms. Fu and her 87-year-old grandfather.

    Despite having no plans of getting married anytime soon, Fu decided {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wear) the wedding dress for her grandfather. The man fell seriously ill last September, with doctors warning that he could pass away {#blank#}5{#/blank#} any time.

    As the rain starts to pound on the windows, you may find your dog hiding under a low piece of furniture or in the corner of a dark room. It's not unusual for a dog to attempt {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) grounded during storms by seeking {#blank#}2{#/blank#} lowest place in the house or some place near the house's pipes.

    But why? As you might suspect, noise is one of the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (reason). Thunder-storms can frighten dogs with noise phobia, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is a severe fear of loud noises. Noise phobias can start at any age and worsen over time if {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leave)untreated.

    Another reason is static electricity(静电). During a thunderstorm, static electricity in the clouds builds up, eventually {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (burst) into lightning.

It could be {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (help)to gently lead your dog to the bathroom and into the bathtub as the porcelain(瓷器)may {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (actual) help block static electricity.

    We want our children to succeed in school and, perhaps even more importantly, in life. But the paradox(悖论) is that our children can only truly succeed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they first learn how to fail. Consider the finding that world-class figure skaters fall over more often in practice than low-level figure skaters. Why are the really good skaters falling over the most?

    The reason is actually quite simple. Top skaters are constantly challenging themselves in practice. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stretch) their limitations, they keep trying their best. They fall over so often, but it is precisely why they learn so fast. Lower-level skaters have a quite different approach. They are always attempting jumps they can already do very easily, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (remain) within their comfort zone. This is why they don't fall over. In a superficial sense, they look successful, because they are always on their feet. Never {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fail) in practice prevents them from making progress.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is true of skating is also true of life. James Dyson worked through 5,126 prototypes (原型) for his newest vacuum before coming up with the design {#blank#}6{#/blank#} made his fortune. These failures were essential to the pathway of learning. As Dyson put {#blank#}7{#/blank#}: "You can't develop new technology unless you test new ideas and learn when things go wrong. Failure is essential to invention."

    In healthcare, however, things are very different. Clinicians don't like to admit to failure, partly because they have strongegos (自我) —particularly the senior doctors—and partly because they fear litigation (诉讼). The consequence is that {#blank#}8{#/blank#} learning from failure, healthcare often covers up failure. The direct consequence is that the same mistakes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (repeat). According to the Journal of Patient Safety, 400,000 people die every year in American hospitals alone due to preventable error. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} healthcare learns to respond positively to failure, things will not improve.
