Im the oldest of four children, and no doubt shed had a long day with the other kids and itd slipped her mind.After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my moms face that shed forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused.It was midterm, and as a straightA student ready to start college applications, being late wasnt an option. In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything Id worked for. But she held_her_ground,_and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didnt rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, Ive realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. Its how we selfeducate to learn whats right and respectable, and whats not.

The Nashua River welcomes boaters, naturalists, and even swimmers.None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together.【解题导语】本文讲的是Marion Stoddart如何联合个体、团体和政府部门共同治理河水污染的事。5What does the underlined word “reclaim” refer to?ARescue.

BDoubtful.CNeutral. DCautious.B解析：观点态度题。根据第四段中的“When she spoke to the board.They thought her goals were unrealistic.”可知，该委员会认为Stoddart改善河流状况的目标不切实际，即持怀疑的态度，故选B。7What kind of person is Marion Stoddart?AIndependent and broadminded.BDetermined and farsighted.CIntelligent and creative.DStubborn and proud.B解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三、四段中对Stoddart为了改善河流状况东奔西走的描述及最后一段中的“a woman of vision”可知，Marion Stoddart是一个有决心和有远见卓识的人。故选B。 七选五(2018宁波检测)Philadelphia is a city known for many things.
