We learn and have more confidence in what we know through trial and error, which onetime or another has 36 failure. You dont have to 37 your failure if what you really want to achieve is 38 . For every 39 achievement, there have been one or more failures. But those who we call successful are those who 40 to accept failure and believe success is the other side of failure. The incandescent light (白炽灯) was 41 after 1,000 failures. If Thomas Edison had 42 after he tried 100 times without the desired result, what would have been the 43 of such effort? Any time you see products and new inventions, think in terms of failures that are not accepted. 44 everything in a microform (微缩过程) today is a result of failure not accepted. Any time your effort is not bringing a(n) 45 result, you dont have to call it a failure. Call it a challenge. What is the 46 between the two? One is negative, the other is 47 ; one demotivates , the other motivates. What you need is positive thinking and motivation to 48 success. Failure is an end thing; 49 is an open thing. Failure means there is no way out, no alternative, but a challenge is a question mark 50 another way out of the situation, an alternative 51 to the problem. Keep dreaming, keep moving; that is the solution to success. A wise man once said if you cannot fly, run. If you cannot 52 ,walk. If you cannot walk, crawl; just keep moving. If you fall down, you have to 53 and start moving. If not, other people will step on you towards their 54 . What you call failure and 55 is what someone will step into with just a little additional effort to reach achievement.36. A. come fromB. resulted in C. resulted from D. come across37.

She was not going to accept any kind of instructions from me. In the interest of not getting myself killed，I started to read and educate myself on ways to manage a high-spirited horseI discovered natural horsemanship（马术）,a method of training that focuses on communicationIn order to communicate with another person，you must be understoodThe very definition（定义）of understanding is two or more persons share the same idea. This simple definition had a big influence on meI realized that communication is a two-way street!When I started to adopt horsemanship in my life，I noticed a change in the way other people related to meMy husband，when I stopped ordering him around，became happier and more helpfulMy children，when I practiced being fair，firm and most of all，considerate，were motivated（激发）to act sooner，at a polite request instead of the orders from me I think the most valuable life skill I learned from my horse is that pressure motivates. As soon as I applied these basic skills to my daily activities, I started to notice positive changes. My children were more considerate of each otherand started to ask first，without tellingI became aware of my position as a role modelToday，five years later，I have the perfect horseI also have very polite kids and a very happy husbandTheres nothing in the world that can compare to being loved by ones you love most-even if it all started with the attitude of a very special horse56What does the underlined phrase “with no handling” in Paragraph2 mean? A. Nobody cared about the horse except the author.B. The horse could do whatever she wanted.C. Nobody had trained the horse before.D. The horse didnt like anyone except the author.57. What can we infer from the passage?A. Treasure was worth a lot of money.B. When the author got Treasure, she was a perfect horse.C. Before the author got Treasure, she didnt love her husband.D. Treasures coming helped the authors family to get along better.58. Why were the authors children slow to respond to her in the past?A. She was unfair and used to order them to do things.B. She didnt know how to manage the female horse.C. Her children were too naughty to listen to her.D. She would be unhappy if they responded quickly to her.59. Which is the best title for the passage?A. A true treasureB. My familyC. The importance of understandingD. An unforgettable experience If it really is whats on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesnt surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the bodys communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle.” Bell said.60. What is the passage mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people dont have diabetes.61. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?AExercise can help to reduce the internal fat.BPeople can get rid of internal fat by improving diet. CMen are more likely to have too much internal fat. DPeople with heart disease all have internal fat.62. From the last paragraph, we can find that _.Ainternal fat leading to disease has been proved Bexercise plays an important role in peoples life for keeping healthy Cthin people usually have internal fat even if they are slim Dit is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat 63. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _.Aa long road Ba clear difference Can easy way Da short distance CScholarship Application Tips in 2014 for college studentsBefore you apply1. Work hard to get good grades. Dont sweat about one bad grade, but always strive(力求)to do your best.2. Get involved, and stay involved, in extracurricular(课外的)activities. Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestrasthese often count toward a students overall scholarship application evaluation. The same goes for paid (or unpaid) work experience.3. Begin your scholarship research earlyby your sophomore(大学二年级)or junior year of high school, if possible. Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring.4.

Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow. The Self Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego（自我）. Its there for protecting and should be listened to. 72 Most people are influenced by the inside voice. Thats why only a handful of people make their dream come true. 73 Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams wont come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The World If one gets past the first two barriers, one has t
