24、 We are all encouraged to work hard and succeed in life. _________ Perhaps you are afraid of failure, or even think it’s shameful to fail. If you visit the Museum of Failure in Shanghai, you might change your mind. Samuel West, a Swedish psychologist (心理学家), set up the museum. The museum shows more than 100 failed products. Some of them were made by the most famous and successful companies in the world.
For example, in 1993, Apple made the Newton Message pad (掌上电脑) which could be used to take electronic notes by hand. But it couldn’t recognize (识别) handwriting very well. Apple stopped making it in 1997. Coca-Cola once developed a coffee-flavored soda (苏打水) in 2006. The company wanted to catch up with people’s growing love for coffee, but the product was taken off the market in 2008.
West said the failed products are not shown to make fun of these companies. He thinks success stories are all similar. He is tired of reading and hearing the same boring stories. As German-American physicist Albert Einstein once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
This idea has been welcomed by many big companies. Silicon Valley, for example, is home to some of the world’s most innovate (创新的) tech companies. A common slogan (口号) there is “Fail fast, fail often.”
There are reasons for this. “The best companies are those that encourage failure, embrace (拥抱) out-of-the-box thinking and allow their staff to make mistakes and see what happens.” Simon Casuto wrote for Forbes.
It seems that failure isn’t always a bad thing. The key is whether or not you can learn from your mistakes.
【1】Which of the following sentences can be put in the __________?
A.And the secret to success is working hard and believing in yourselves.
B.And it is important to learn how to be successful in life.
C.But success is not important at all for those excellent companies.
D.But failure is still a common part of everyone’s life.
【2】Samuel West set up the Museum of Failure _________.
A.to catch up with people’s growing love for coffee
B.to make fun of these companies
C.to stop people making the similar mistakes
D.to tell people failure might be something good
【3】The writer tried to support his idea mainly by _________.
A.listing examples
B.imagining stories
C.making comparisons
D.listing numbers
【4】What does the underlined sentences “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” mean according to the passage?
A.It means it’s not necessary to try anything new.
B.It means there are some people who never make mistakes.
C.It means once you make mistakes often, you can surely create new things.
D.It means making mistakes is common when trying new things.
25、 Many people love travelling to different countries, but if you plan to go abroad, you should know how to behave in different situations around the world.
Most travelers enjoy meeting new people, but sometimes you can be rude without saying anything. In Russia, you should never shake hands in a doorway, and if you’re travelling in Thailand, never touch people’s heads or point your feet at people. When the Japanese meet new people, they like giving business cards-but you should read the card carefully, not just put it in your pocket.
In most countries in Europe, people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them, but in many Asian countries, a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly. And in South America, people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk, but in countries like the USA, you need to give people more personal space. Also, it’s rude to interrupt Japanese people while they are talking to you. You must wait until they finish before you start speaking.
In restaurants in China, you can leave a bit of food on your plate, it’s OK to start smoking before other people finish eating, which you mustn’t do in the UK. When in India, remember to eat with your right hand. Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia—that’s bad luck.
When you’re travelling in Asia, if someone invites you to his or her home, don’t forget to take off your shoes when you arrive. And if you visit an Arab family’s home, don’t admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present.
With so much to think about, it’s not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries—or you might just decide to stay at home.
【1】What does the underlined word “interrupt” mean in Chinese?

【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Culture Shock B.Table Manners C.Public Rules D.Body language
26、 There was once a famous scientist who made several important discoveries. Once he was asked how he was able to be so creative, He replied that it all came from an experience he had with his mother when he was 2 years old. He was trying to take a bottle of milk out of the fridge. But he bottle was too slippery that he dropped it. The milk was running all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
So he did. After a few minutes, they cleaned it up together. Then his mother said, "This was a failed experiment in how to carry a big bottle of milk with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it.
He learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
The scientist then added that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. He learned that mistakes are just opportunities to learn something new—which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesn't “work”, we can still learn something valuable from it.
