24、We can choose failure, but we can’t choose fear. That’s like what James Cameron said “Failure Is an Option, but Fear Is Not” at the end of his TED talk and I love it. We shouldn’t be afraid of facing failure, try to accept it and learn from it.
Make room for failure
Nobody wants to fail, but failure is often on your way to success. Geprge Bernard Shaw said, “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable(可敬的), but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” So if you never fail then it probably means that you do nothing. Failure shows that you actually do something instead of just sitting in your comfortable seat.
Learn from each failure
Don’t just fail and get nothing out of it. Learn something from each failure that makes you better and better.
Fail fast
Time is precious, so if you failed then you’d better fail fast. Why? Because it will make you learn and improve faster. Don’t wait until everything is perfect. Instead, test your idea in the real world as soon as possible.
Don’t choose fear
Many people don’t want to work on something unknown. But fear is not a good choice, so you should be willing to try out your new ideas. Even if you aren’t successful, you will still come out better than before.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案:
【1】In the writer’s opinion, failure is NOT .
A. useful B. terrible C. common
【2】Which of the following is George Bernard Shaw’s thought?

A. be away from failure
B. fail every time

【5】What is the best title for the passage?
A. Failure is an option, but Fear is not.
B. Make room for failure
C. Fail fast as soon as possible.
25、When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It's important to learn the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can't understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
"She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples."
"I have seen the film already." "I have already seen the film."
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

27、Habits and field paths(小径) are formed in the same way: by repetition. Villagers, as a rule, do not purposefully make a foot path to the next village. They just go the shortest or easiest way over the fields. Day after day a people go and come the same way. Their feet beat the earth hard. By their repeated walking in the same direction a path is made. Similarly, the more often we do anything in the same way or at the same time, the more we shall do it that way. At last a habit is formed.
Usually it is much easier to form bad habits than good habits. The reason is simple – we are just lazy. For example, it is easier to lie in bed on a cold morning than to get up early. It is easier to put off today’s duties to tomorrow than to do them at the right time.
Bad habits are not formed in a day, and it is the same with good habits. The forming of good habits needs time and calls for effort and hard work at first; but every time we do the right thing, it makes doing the same thing next time much easier. It’s really hard to get up early on a cold winter morning for the first time. However, if you keep doing it every day for some time, it will become “a piece of cake” in the end. At last, we form the good habit, which would be hard to break even if we wanted to break it.
Get into the habit of early rising, and you will not want to lie in bed like a lazybone. Get into the habit of telling the truth, and you will find it really hard to tell a lie. Get into the habit of doing today’s work today, and you will feel uncomfortable if you have to put anything off till tomorrow.
【1】Why is foot-path making mentioned repeatedly?
A.To lead in the topic.
B.To draw a picture of country life.
C.To ask people to go back to nature.
D.To compare habits with field paths.
【2】What question is answered in Paragraph 2?
A.How are bad habits formed?
B.Why are good habits harder to form?
C.Why is it easier to develop bad habits?
D.How are bad habits different from good ones?
【3】What’s the most important to form good habits?
A.Getting up early on a cold winter morning.
B.Doing the right thing and making it easier.
C.Working hard first and taking it easy gradually.
D.Getting started and keeping doing it for some time.
【4】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Formed good habits are here to stay.
B.It is not right for anyone to tell a lie.
C.Lazybones have no future in their lives.
D.Never put things of today off to tomorrow.
【5】What would be a good title for this passage?
A.How Habits Are Formed
B.How Habits Shape People's Life
C.Connections Between Habits and Paths
D.Differences Between Good and Bad Habits
28、Du Fu, one of the greatest poets in China, is familiar to most of us. 【1】, Du has still been unknown in the Western world. Recently, the BBC’s one⁃hour documentary (纪录片) Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet is spreading through the Internet.
The film introduces the great 【2】 to Western audiences. As the first English language documentary about Du, it 【3】 him to Dante and Shakespeare, two of the greatest writers of the West. It also introduces the poet’s life experiences in detail. Du was born in 712 and lived 【4】 hard life. Du never stopped writing, although life was 【5】 for him. Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. In his poems, he poured out his concern for his country as 【6】 as the people.
The documentary explains why Du’s works have been popular 【7】 centuries. Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone at reflecting history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are mirrored in 【8】 own life.
Du’s 1,400 poems have 【9】 collected by Stephen Owen from the USA. He spent eight years 【10】 them into English and published a book which is expected to help Du’s works reach more readers.
There is no doubt that Du is a cultural symbol of ancient China, but his brilliant works and spirits have also inspired people abroad.
