So I chose one and told my friends to go there.After I ordered, I was asked whether I would eat a 100 yuan or 200 yuan lunch, I said:“200 yuan.” I didnt realize until I was asked to pay after lunch, that“200 yuan”means“200 yuan for person each.”There were five people that day, and all of us were surprised by the 200 yuan meal. The bill came at last: it was 1260 l000 for the five of us, plus the money for drinks, fruits and air conditioning(空调). I paid the bill without a word.What could I say? It was not their fault(过失). It was my own fault that made me pay the largest bill in my life.However, it was not so bad: we had a good lunch and at a quiet place. Besides, the experience will help in later years.To support my idea, I have developed my own way of thinking about the price: 200 yuan for the lunch and 1060 for the experience.

Here are some tips on how to remove fear and focus on success. Understand that at times you make mistakes. 36 Before any of us learned how to walk, we crawled(爬). We got up, fell down and got up again. We continued the process until we could walk expertly. 37 Instead, view it as a stepping stone（垫脚石）. Make certain that you learn from failure and then apply what youve learned to future situations. Refuse to consider failure a character weakness. Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success. Remember that failure has produced many successes. 38 Albert Einsteins teacher told him to quit school and commented（评价）, “Einstein, you will never amount to anything!” Beethovens music teacher said he was hopeless to become a composer(作曲家). Henry Fords first two car companies failed. Appreciate the benefits of failure. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you try, the better you make.” Its hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries. 39 Believe in yourself. Rather than give up when things dont work out, take it as an opportunity to build perseverance(坚持不懈). Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldnt give up. 40 A. Dont take failure personally. B. Work hard and try to avoid failure. C. Realize that you are human and humans make mistakes. D. Believe that youve got what it takes to work through the difficult times. E. Making the same mistake again can lead to the failure in your future work. F. Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful. G. In other words, your chances of getting things right on the first try are slim(渺小的) to none. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节：完型填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。There lived a farmer in a village.
