Because in some ways, it is.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And thats only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. Weve been blamed when we make mistakes at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious(无意识的) reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and errortrying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakeswe have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of talent possible.Think about how we learn: we dont just consume information about something and immediately know it or know how to do it. You dont just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until youve pretty much learned how to do something. Thats how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something newbecause if you succeed at something, its probably something you already knew how to do. You havent really grown much from that successat most its the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if its a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.（1）Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes? A . Because its a natural part in our life.B . Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.C . Because mistakes have influenced our lives.D . Because weve been taught so from a young age.（2）According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes? A . We should try to avoid making mistakes.B . We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.C . We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.D . We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.（3）The underlined word toddler in Paragraph 6 probably means . A . a small child learning to walkB . a primary pupil learning to readC . a school teenager learning to writeD . a kindergarten child learning to draw（4）What is the best title of this passage? A . Value MistakesB . Mistakes Make Things PossibleC . Try to Avoid MistakesD . Life is a Journey Full of Mistakes18. （8分）阅读理解 Since the beginning of history, man has been fascinated by the idea of living forever, of winning the fight against death and disease. So far, this has only remained a dream, though a very powerful one. Many people have wondered whether it would be possible to find a way to preserve human bodies, and what would be the best way to preserve human bodies.It has long been known that meat or fruit can be kept fresh for long periods by freezing; in ancient China, for example, food was stored with ice to keep it fresh. This method could also be useful for preserving humans, and in fact many people have explored this possibility.However, most living beings that exist under warm conditions die when frozen. This is because of the harmful effects of freezing ice crystals, which are not only larger than the volume of the water originally in the cells, but also form sharp cutting shapes that harm the cells.In the 1940s Dr B. J. Luyet and a group of scientists in England were working on the problem of freezing cells without damaging them. Since the harm caused by ice crystals was the main cause of the damage, Luyet suggested removing some or all of the water from the cells before freezing them.Using living cells from chicken, Luyet and his assistants discovered that they could partly dry the chicken cells, using a mixture of the white part of an egg and glycerin, a clear thick liquid made chiefly from fats and oils. Some success was obtained. The chicken cells were dried, frozen for a period of time, and then carefully unfrozen.Almost all the cells recovered when they reached normal temperature. Since then, the cooling of whole animals to a temperature very much below freezing point for later unfreezing has become more of a possibility, and the glycerin method would probably be used to accomplish this. When this can be done completely and successfully, science will have moved much closer to its aim of freezing and storing incurable patients until the day they can be cured.（1）It seems that the idea of preserving human bodies . A . is impracticalB . comes from that of storing meat and fruit fresh by freezingC . is quite funnyD . doesnt make any sense（2）From the fact that most living things existing under warm conditions die when frozen, the scientists realize that . A . living things cannot be frozen actuallyB . it is impossible for them to freeze human beingsC . the water from the living cells should be removedD . cells cannot recover when they are carefully unfrozen（3）Glycerin can be used . A . to remove water from living cellsB . to unfreeze living cellsC . to freeze living cellsD . to change the shape of crystals（4）What is the passage mainly about? A . The harmful effects of freezing foodB . How to preserve foodC . How to remove water from living cellsD . The exploration of preserving human bodies（5）What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word fascinated? A . attractedB . freedC . afraidD . sad19. （8分）阅读短文，从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 If you ask soma people, How did you learn English so well?

At 2: 00 a. m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson.
