24、When you make a mistake, big or small, treasure it as it's the most valuable thing in the world.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves.
And that's only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been punished 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(无意识的反应).
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be treasured and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.
By test and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have found out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of genius(天才) possible.
Think about how we learn: We don't just get information about something and know it at once 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 watching usually ... then you set a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you correct the model based on the results of your real world experiment ... 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 in 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 is 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 full of wonders possible.
【1】According to the passage, how should we treat mistakes?
A.We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B.We should owe(把…归功于) great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C.We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.

【2】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
【3】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 test and error
D.we read about something and know how to do it right away

A.what you should do when meeting with difficulties
B.where you can find your mistakes
C.how you can avoid making mistakes
D.why you should celebrate your mistakes
25、Shameem was born in a small village in Pakistan. In her village, it was a tradition to keep girls inside their homes. They were not allowed to get an education.
Fortunately, Shameem’s uncle, a university teacher, wanted to give her a chance to see the world. He offered Shameem a chance to attend school. So she became the only girl student in her class.
However, Shameem struggled to complete her schooling. To get permission for college, she went on three-day-hunger strike. After graduating from college, Shameem got a position in non-profit organization working to help women in rural (农村的) areas.
There, she saw a Pakistan that she didn’t know. Until then, she thought she had a difficult life. But there, she saw what women in other parts of Pakistan were experiencing. Some women had 11 children, but nothing to feed them. They would walk three hours every day to get water. Shameem found that the position was more than just a job for her. She discovered her power. By setting an example, her experience could encourage more people to understand the importance of education and send their daughters to school.

26、 As the novel coronavirus pneumonia(新型冠状病毒肺炎) makes students to stay at home, they have to learn online and smart phones(智能手机) make online learning become possible and easy. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?
According to a study, half of the British people own smart phones and they spend an average (平均) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness(近视) since smart phones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring at(盯着看) smart phones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink (自动眨眼) a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort(不适) in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smart phones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils(瞳孔) become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).
If you have to use your smart phone to learn online, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimetres away from your eyes when using it. Take a rest every hour and try the following: look at something at least five metres away from you and then focus on(专注于) the tip( 尖端) of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.
【1】What makes the students’ online learning become possible and easy?
