quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. we forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail. most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. one way is to lower standards. a mother describes her childs hasty-made table as “perfect!” even though it doesnt stand still. another way is to shift blame. if john fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. the trouble with failure-prevention devices is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. the young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time- and that its possible to enjoy a game even when we dont win. a child whos not invited to a birthday party, who doesnt make the honor roll on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. but parents should not offer a quick consolation, prize or say, “it doesnt matter.” because it does. the young should be allowed to experience disappointmentand be helped to master it. failure is never pleasurable. it hurts grown-ups and children alike. but it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. step one is to ask “why did i fail?” dont blame someone else. ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. if someone else can help, dont be shy about inquiring. success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. you can learn from a bad party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. even a failure that seems definitive can prompt fresh thinking, a change of direction. after 12 years of studying ballet, a friend of mine auditioned for a professional company. she was turned down. “ would further training help?” she asked. the ballet master shook his head. “ you will never be a dancer”, he said, “you havent the body for it.” in such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock(估量) of the situation bravely asking, “what have i left? what else can i do?” my friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where shes both able and useful. failure frees one to take risks because theres less to lose. often there is recovery of energya way to find new possibilities.【小题1】the second paragraph tells us _ ahow a mother praised her childrenbparents should blame their children at the proper time.chow to shift blamedtwo ways of failure prevention most parents use when their children fail【小题2】according to the author, what should a child know in the real world? ano one can be best all the time at everything.bhe should be equipped for life.cno parents should offer quick consolations.dhe can get pleasure from failure as well as success.【小题3】the underlined word “prompt” in the fifth paragraph can be best replaced by “_.” apreventbcauseccontinuedexchange【小题4】from the passage we know that _. asuccess lies in hard workbnever be disappointed to lifecfailure can affect ones life greatly once he learns to use it.deveryone had his own value6、(c)the loss of innocenceinnocence is such a precious giftits explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doingjust imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt free mindsome people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood what would the world be like if innocence were never lost？one way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred （仇恨）among the worldduring youth，there may be an occasional argument，even a little physical fight，but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human beingand children are blind towards the racial differences of othersa kid will hang out with any other kidit is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwiseanother benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventurewith very little if any time at all for fun，the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adultsif innocence were kept alive，these ambitions would never depart from our lives however，other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting foreverthey feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in generala large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn，work，and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survivewithout a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence，people would not have the desire to succeed，get a good job in life，or provide income for their families，which would hurt the lives of children the lack of a good education and career would also harm the economyas long as innocence is kept alive，no one would be terribly angered at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace，resulting in a strong decline in production and quality of needed goods maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocenceit sure is a nice thought，thoughperhaps innocence was meant to be lostit was gods will to make things the way they are，and there is a good purpose for everythingall that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts【小题1】the author believes that the loss of innocence in adulthood should be _ aavoidedbcondemnedcaccepteddinspired【小题2】lifelong innocence would be beneficial to society in that _ aproper education would be providedbthere would be no racial discriminationcmore happy families would be guaranteeddpeople would realize their childhood dreams【小题3】according to the author，people with innocence can hurt the economy with their lack of _ amotivational willbmental abilitycadventurous ambitionsdneeded goods【小题4】which of the following shows the structure of the passage？ abcd7、honesty is the best policy, as the english saying goes. unfortunately, honesty often leaves us when no one is watching, british psychologists reported last week. researchers at uks newcastle university set up an experiment in their psychology departments coffee room. they set a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk on the counter and hung up a sign listing the price for drinks. people helping themselves to a cup of tea were supposed to put a few cents in the box nearby. the scientists hung a poster above the money box, and changed each week between pictures of gazing eyes and pictures of flowers. the researchers found that staff paid 2.76 times more for their drinks when the image of the eyes was hung. “we were shocked by the size of the effect,” said gilbert roberts, one of the researchers. eyes are known to be a powerful perceptual (知觉的) signal for humans, scientists say. “even though the eyes were not real, they still seemed to make people behave more honestly,” said melissa bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study. researchers believe the effect throws light on our evolutionary past. it may arise from behavioral characteristics that developed when early humans formed social groups to strengthen their chances of survival
