Knowing about yourself means not only that you find what you are good at and what you like,it also means discovering what you are not good at and what you don't like. Both help you to see your aim in life.
Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed an advanced math course,they have actually learned a great deal about themselves. They know they should not become engineers or physical scientist,and that they should not be good at accounting work. So failing can help a student to lead a much happier life he or she draws the right conclusion from the failing. They may then decide on their aim and choose the kind of work they would like to do.
It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the violin,you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you have any interest or ability.
It's not enough to want to be a violinist. You also have to like the hard and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great violinist but hate the work,forget it.
It's a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will come to a wise decision.

Think about the last time you dropped a stone into water. Do you remember how the waves started? They began where the stone met the water and then moved outward.
Just as waves in water take time to move,so sound takes time to move in air. Sound takes time to travel.
Perhaps you have noticed the time that passes between a flash of lightning and the thunder. You may have heard the sound of a baseball bat hitting a ball an instant after you saw it happen.
Both light and sound take time to travel. However,there is a great deal of difference in their speed. In one second,sound can travel about1,000 feet through air. During this same time,light can travel more than186,000 miles！
When something makes a sound some distance away,you can often see the action before you hear the sound. As sound travels,vibrations are passed on from one molecule to another. The farther the sound has to travel,the longer it takes.
( ) 1. Which of these is WRONG?
A. " Sound and wave" means"水花和水波".
B. "Lightning and thunder" means"閃電和雷聲".

B. You may hear the thunder before you see a flash of lightning.
C. Light takes no time to travel.

( ) 5. Which of these is NOT right?
A. In one second,sound can travel about340 meters through air.
