overweight among school children is the result of bake sales, the education department of new york declared that bake sales will be banned all through the states, as a part of their new “wellness”policy. the ban gives a harder time to schools tying to earn money，because of budget difficulties. bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. allie，a roslyn high school freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think its wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “i feel that it is the students choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it”jessica，another roslyn high school freshman, had a different opinion.“i feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. it might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.” new york education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. a plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. however the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. allie and jessica dont think so.“students might not like the healthier foods. this way, the schools are gaining less money.”allie shares. another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. alternate programs are being conducted throughout new york schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools41the new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_a. help

or will go to ucla?a. three.b. four.c. five.d. six.cits good to make mistakes, and here is why.first of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. its always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. if you never try anything new, how can you improve? how can you expand? the simple answer is “you cant”. look around you. with very few exceptions (例外), either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new. another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. consider this: edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. when asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadnt failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didnt work. finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. why? because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded. every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer. but this all doesnt mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again. we all have limited resources in the form of time and money so dont blow them all on one approach to a problem. realize that it probably wont be perfect the first time and allocate (分配) these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career. there is an old saying that goes, “if youre not making mistakes, youre not trying hard enough.” so go forth and make mistakes. and learn. and grow. and prosper(成功).50. from the second paragraph, we can conclude that _. a. mistakes are unnecessary for development b. we are afraid of trying new things c. its common for people to make mistakes d. mistakes are better than not trying51. the underlined word “eliminate” means _. a. avoid b. dismiss c. accept d. solve52. according to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is _. a. avoiding making the same mistakes b. accepting the punishment willingly c. taking consequences into account d. trying things out one by one53. the article is mainly about _. a. how to deal with mistakes b. what benefits mistakes bring c. how to achieve success d. how to make use of your mistakes54. what would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake? a. never mind, i can always try again. b. id better stay out of trouble. c. great! now i can learn something. d. look at this mess. anyone would be upset. dpete richards was the loneliest man in town on the day that little jean grace opened the door of his shop.petes grandfather had owned the shop until his death. then the shop became petes. the front window was full of beautiful old things: jewelry of a hundred years ago, gold and silver boxes, carved figures from china and japan and other nations.on this winter afternoon, a child stood there, her face close to the window. with large and serious eyes, she studied each piece in the window. then, looking pleased, she stepped back from the window and went into the shop. pete himself stood behind the counter. his eyes were cold as he looked at the small girl. “please,” she began, “would you let me look at the pretty string of blue beads in the window?” pete took the string of blue beads from the window. the beads were beautiful against his hand as he held the necklace up for her to see.“they are just right,” said the child as though she were alone with the beads. “will you wrap them up in pretty paper for me, please? ive been looking for a really wonderful christmas present for my sister.”“how much money do you have?” asked pete.she put a handful of pennies on the counter. “this is all i have,” she explained simply. “ive been saving the money for my sisters present.”pete looked at her, his eyes thoughtful. then he carefully closed his hand over the price mark on the necklace so that she could not see it. how could he tell her the price? the happy look in her big blue eyes struck him like the pain of an old wound.“just a minute,” he said and went to the back of the shop. “whats your name?” he called ou
