If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often we convey to our children either by words or by actions that failure is
11、 something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance meets our approval. Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly. He seldom answered questions -he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he repea
12、tedly checked with me to be sure he hadnt made a mistake. I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, admired her. But
13、even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared he might make a mistake. Then one morning we were working math problems. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary
14、. But when I returned, Donnie was in tears. Hed missed the third problem. Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister (小筒) filled with pencils. “Look, Donnie,” she said, “Ive got something to show you.” She removed the pencils and placed th
15、em on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? Thats because we make mistakes too. Lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That what you must learn to do, too.” She kissed him and continued, “Ill leave o
16、ne of these pencils on your desk so youll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer (少许) of a smile. The pencil became Donnies prized possession.That, together with Mary Annes frequent encouragement and praise for even Donnies s
17、mall successes, gradually persuaded him that its all right to make mistakes -as long as you erase them and try again.21. The word “baffled” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _.A. eased B. confused C. defeated D. impressed22. Which of the following words best describe Mary Anne as she is shown in th
18、e article? A. Patient and inspiring.B. Creative and modest. C. Determined and strict.D. Considerate and proud.23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article? A. Each of us should try our best to be perfect. B. The story was written mainly to sing high praise for Mary Anne. C.
19、 The author seems to believe that failure is an opportunity to learn and make progress. D. Donnie rarely finished his work because he seldom answered questions and thus had difficulties.B For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.”
20、People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musicalnotes(音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise
21、to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp wha
22、t it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a
23、 seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The differenc
24、e is complex, and it doesnt involvedefective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed.
25、 For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, No thanks, Im amusic,” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to sa
26、y that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”24. Which of the following is true of amusics? A.They can easily tell two different songs apart. B. Their situation is well understood by musicians. C.

28、peoples inability to enjoy music. C. Musical talent and brain structure. D.

Although there have been hundreds of other books dec
29、laring to offer a quick look behind the Palace doors, this is the first written by someone who is closely related to the Royal Family and has shared their livesnot only throughout the Queens rule but also through that of her father, King George VI.

30、n and childhood playmate the Honorable Margaret Rhodes. It tells in details the story of Mrs. Rhodess relationship with the Royal family over eight decades.

31、proved parts of it. Born in 1925, the Honorable Margaret Rhodes has led an extraordinary life. She was the childhood playmate of her cousin, the Queen; a wartime M16 spy; and she was a lady-in- waiting (宫女) to her aunt, the Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, from 1991 until the latters death in 2002
32、. At the Queens 80th birthday in April 2006, Margaret gave an interview to the BBC which she proved that, in her own opinion and despite several false reports, the Queen would not abdicate(退位). In this charming autobiography, she told how she was offered a house to live in the Royal farm in Windsor
33、Great Park unexpectedly. One day when she and the Queen were out riding outside, she suddenly returned and said, “Could you bear to live in the suburb?” “I think it should be OK.” Therefore Mrs. Rhodes is now still living there. 27.

38、then say whatever you think fit. It is better to say something substantial, rather than something meaningless. 32 Dont try to change people. It is not your job to change anyone else. It is not in your power to change anyone else. Let other people love how they want to live. 33 If you do not like the
39、 way someone acts, you can try to interact with them as little as possible. You can always maintain a good attitude towards them so that your relationship with them might change. 34 A little laughter goes a long way, and a smile eases tensions, whereas a frown can create tensions.
