I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, by contrast, is expected to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If youve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信) their failures gave them.I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am aware that one column I write is going to be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to cherish that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a fancy way.My younger daughter is a trapeze artist. She spent three years putting together a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting (使服从于) her body to all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that its not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.56. Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail?A. Success is boring though beneficial.B. She would learn more from failure.C. Its impossible to do everything successfully.D. He wanted her to be strong enough to face hardships.57. Whats the authors attitude toward his daughter changing her show?A. NegativeB. WorriedC. PositiveD. Ambiguous(模凌两可的)58. The author develops the article mainly by _.A. giving examplesB. following the time orderC. comparing different opinionsD. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects59. The writer talked about his own experience to show that _.A. we cannot depend on luck to live a good lifeB. we should try every possible way to avoid failureC. past failures made him dare not take risks in writingD. the thought of failure will make you work even harderBChinese writer Mo Yans Nobel Prize for Literature might set off an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.“Hopefully, the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says Michel Hockx, professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. “Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”Jonathan Ruppin, web editor of bookseller Foyles, says Mos win coincides with（与一致）growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary（富于幻想的）writer.“We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available,” Ruppin says. He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Hockx explains, “Its mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge gap between China and its international counterparts in particular, China knows considerably more about Europe and America than the other way round and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Chinese literature has spread with the development of China.B. The Nobel Prize for Literature has a history of hundreds of years.C. In the past, no Chinese writers were accepted outside China.D. Foreigners know about China mainly by reading Mo Yans works.61. Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because _.A. Chinese writers have been writing more and more books in EnglishB. the Chinese language has become the most widely used language in the worldC. the Chinese government attaches great importance to literatureD. the cultural communication between China and western countries has developed62. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A. China knows more about Europe and America than before.B. China knows more about Europe and America than they know about China.C. China, Europe and America know one another more than before.D. Compared with America, China knows more about Europe.CWeve reached a strangesome would say unusualpoint. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. Its the good life thats more likely to kill us these days.Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. Whats going on?We really dont have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting throughup to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the worlds most body conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weightbut actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food. They say: its just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American style fast food.Some also blame their parentstheir genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because theyre normal in shape, or rather slim.Its a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I saynot as I do.63. What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B. Starvation is taking more peoples lives in the world.C. WHO report shows peoples unawareness of food safety.D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHOs efforts.64. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D. There are too many overweight people in the world.65. The example of Finland is used to illustrate _. A. the cause of heart diseaseB. the fashion of body shapingC. the effectiveness of a campaignD. the history of a body conscious country66. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Actions or Excuses? B. Overweight or Underweight?C. WHO in a Dilemma D. No Longer Dying of HungerDAnyone who has ever volunteered for any cause can tell you that in the end, they fe
