Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesnt stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.Theres a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that its possible to enjoy a game even when you dont win. A child whos not invited to a birthday party, who doesnt make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesnt matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Dont blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, dont be shy about asking them.（1）What can failure become in fact? （2）How many ways do most parents choose to prevent failure and protect their children?（3）How do 60% of the parents prevent failure or protect their children from the knowledge that they have failed? （4）What should young people be allowed to experience?（5）Who does failure hurt? 5. （10分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AA girl who graduated from a world famous university wanted to do translation work for authority leaders.
