the road are becoming horribleeverybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheelit is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether.road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense tooit takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude drivingon the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fightinga friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditionbut such behaviors of politeness are by no means enoughmany drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.however, misplaced politeness can also be dangeroustypical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in timethe same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want toit always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).an experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelingsunfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn to driveyears ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road usersit is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.60. according to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .a. road conditions b. the speed of modern lifec. the large number of cars d. the behavior of the drivers61. in the writers opinion, .a. drivers should show road politeness properly. b. strict traffic rules are badly neededc. unskillful drivers should be punished d. drivers should avoid traffic jams62.the underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .a. politeness and impoliteness b. willingness to give in to each others wishesc. offering help to others as much as possibled. good manners and bad manners63. what is the best title of the passage?a. road politeness b. traffic problems c. bad manners on the road d. good drivers and bad driver c the

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, 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）67.from the second paragraph, we can conclude that _a. mistakes are unnecessary for developmentb. we are afraid of trying new thingsc. its common for people to make mistakesd. mistakes are better than not trying68.the underlined word “eliminate” means _a. avoid b. remove c. accept d. solve69.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 willinglyc. taking consequences into account d. trying things out one by one70what 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. ok! now i can learn something. d. look at this mess anyone would be upset.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
