small cherish it like it s the most precious thing in the world 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 that s only natural most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad that we should try to avoid mistakes We ve been scolded when we make mistakes at home school and work Maybe not always but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious 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 error trying things making mistakes and learning from those mistakes we 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 genius possible Think about how we learn we don t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it You don t 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 you ve pretty much learned how to do something That s how we learn as babies and toddlers and how we learn as adults Mistakes are how we learn to do something new because if you succeed at something it s probably something you already knew how to do You haven t really grown much from that success at most it s the last step on your journey not the whole journey Most of the journey was made up of mistakes if it s 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 56 Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes A Because mistakes make us suffer a lot B Because it s a natural part in our life C Because we ve been taught so from a young age D Because mistakes have ruined many people s careers 57 According to the passage what is the right attitude to mistakes A We should try to avoid making mistakes B We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes C We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn D We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction 58 The underlined word toddler in Paragraph 6 probably means A a small child learning to walk B a kindergarten child learning to draw C a primary pupil learning to read D a school teenager learning to write 59 We can learn from the passage that A most of us can really grow from success B growing and improving are based on mistakes C we learn to make mistakes by trial and error D we read about something and know how to do it right away B If you ask me for my biggest impression of what America s like over the last three years I d say it is how rich and diverse the student life is For example at Princeton we have more than 100 student organizations planning all kinds of campus activities from sports band dancing to juggling and acting to translation design publishing volunteering and camping You name it During my freshman year I tried a lot of activities from dancing to design to newspapers Then I found my passion in the environment and volunteerism I joined Greening Princeton and Student Volunteer Council A year later I d become the publicity chair and project coordinator 协调员 of these two clubs Student activities give us a chance to do things we care about and are good at If we have a good idea we can propose it at a meeting find interested people to form a team and then apply for funding from the school We have full control of the project and the ability to make our ideas happen For example I came up with the idea of Dining and was supported by my club Greening Princeton I wrote a proposal presented it in front of the college master and communicated with the head of Dining Services After a few follow ups this project was carried out One other benefit of extra curricular 课外的 activities is the friendship that comes with them Once you become part of a group it is much easier to adjust to college life You realize you are not alone This will most likely increase your study efficiency and in turn help your academics My headmaster once told me Stand on your tiptoes In that way we not only have a better view of life but will also put out our comfort zone Getting involved in extra curricular activities has given me the opportunity to stand on my tiptoes Make yourself try new things and stick to the things that matter to you This is one piece of advice I have Remember college is a color palette You are the artist who can add your own colors 60 The author mentions one hundred student organizations to show A students are free to learn their major B student activities are colorful there C each organization belongs to a college D students have to join in one of them 61 Which of the following is true according to the passage A Students can do what they care about and are good at in class B Taking part in the activities after class has three advantages C Students can balance their college life with these activities D Each of the students has to take part in more than two items 62 The purpose of the passage is to A show off the author B advertise the school C say something interesting D introduce college life C A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world s people may not have enough water by the year 2025 A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study It says more than 335 million people lack enough water now The people live in 28 countries Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East P A I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025 about 3 000 million people may lack water At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems The demand for water keeps increasing Yet the amount of water on the earth stays the same Mr Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems It may increase health problems Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe Mr Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases such as cholera which are carried in water Lack of water may also result in more international conflict Countries may have to compete for water in the future Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries This is true of Egypt the Netherlands Cambodia Syria Sudan and Iraq And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem One way it says is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water A third way is to use less water of agriculture The report also says long term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have 63 The first four paragraphs mainly tell us A the fact of the global lack of water B the importance of water resources C the seriousness of water shortage D the study of the global water condition 64 Which of the following problems is NOT true about lack of water according to the passage

Which of the following is the way to solve water problem in the long run A To use water in a variety of ways B To become aware of the water problem C To reduce the use of agricultural water D To limit the rising birthrate of the earth 66 Which of the following shows the structure of the passage A B C D D Driving Offence Points System What is Driving Offence Points System After the introduction of
