He often had fights with his friends. One day, his father gave him a bag of nails (钉子) and told him to hammer (敲) a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper. The boy listened to his father and did what his father told him to do.The first day, the boy drove 17 nails into the fence. Then the number of nails became less and less in the following days. The boy found that it was easier to keep his temper than to drive the nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didnt lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and his father asked him to pull out one nail each time he was able to keep his temper.The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same as it was before. When you say some words in anger, your bad temper will leave a scar just like the hole. Even if you say youre sorry, the wound is still there. If you hurt a person with words, the wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are rare jewels (稀有珍宝). They make you smile and feel happy. So never hurt your friends.”Since then the boy had never fought with his friends. He learned how to get on with others and he never lost his temper again.15 .

In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.The “spider story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web（网）. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(电灯泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?Second, is the goal you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be. Think about this question: If I am successful in this, where will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldnt be doing anyway.The third thing to remember about failure is that its a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself!” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You cant live with them all.”18 . Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that _.Apeople who failed are not lonelyBanimals can help people sometimesCnature will help if we are hardworkingDconfidence is important for one to be successful19 .

If you are not sure about what success will get you, youd better _.Achange your goalBgo on with your goalCnot care for thatDwork even harder on your goal21 . It can be learned from the passage that _.Aone should try not to failBones failure is anothers successCone should take failures seriouslyDone should learn lessons from failures22 . This passage is mainly about _.Atwo great menBtwo sides of failureCways to keep away from failureDthe right attitude (态度) towards failureImagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running.
