a. he was forced by his mother to read it. b. he identified with the story in the bookc. the book told the story of his pet dog. d. the happy ending of the story attracted him. 49. what can be inferred from the last paragraph? a. the author has become a successful writer. b. the authors mother read the same book. c. the authors mother rewarded him with books. d. the author has had happy summers ever since. 50. which one could be the best title of the passage? a. the charm of a book b. mums strict order c. reunion with my beagle d. my passion for readingc.its 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 dismiss 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). 51. according to the passage, which one is not true? a. trying new things is always by side with making mistakes. b. edison felt happy every time he failed to perfect the light bulb. c. we should take mistakes seriously though they are unavoidable. d. learning how to allocate time and money is important to prosper. 52. what does “it” (paragraph 6) mean? a. the mistake b. the limit c. the event d. something new53. according to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is _. a. avoiding making the same mistake. b. accepting the punishment willingly.c. taking consequences into account. d. trying things out one by one. 54. 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 mistakes 55. 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五短文填词(10分) 每空不超过3个词。sometimes we have disagreements with people. when this (56) h _ , the important thing is to try not to let a calm discussion turn into a heated argument. here (57 ) _ some of my advice for you. the (58) f _ thing i would say is that the way you begin the conversation is very important. imagine you are a student and you share a flat (59) _ another student who you think isnt doing her share of the housework. if you say, look, you never do your share of the housework. (60) are you going to do about it?, the discussion will very soon turn into a
