It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why．
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things． It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing． If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”． Look around you． With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．
Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning． Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb． When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success． Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded． Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer．
But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake． Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again．
We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem． Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate （分配） these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again． Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career．
There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”
So go forth and make mistakes． And learn． And grow． And prosper（成功）．
小題1:From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______．
A．mistakes are unnecessary for development
B．we are afraid of trying new things
C．it’s common for people to make mistakes
D．mistakes are better than not trying
小題2:The underlined word “eliminate” means _______．
A．a(chǎn)void B．remove C．a(chǎn)ccept D．solve
小題3:According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is   ．
A．a(chǎn)voiding making the same mistakes
B．a(chǎn)ccepting the punishment willingly
C．taking consequences into account
D．trying things out one by one
小題4:What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?
A．Never mind, I can always try again．
B．I’d better stay out of trouble．
C．Ok! Now I can learn something．
D．Look at this mess． Anyone would be upset．

During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another .Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie ,it’s their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they’re busy in a number of sporting events, besides they need to do their homework, then the time they’ll feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you’re filling up that after school time, then it’s during the day that they’re going to be taking a break.”
Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there’s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn’t be saying ‘Wow, are they ever learning things now?’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”
It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what we’re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill.” So choose your children’s activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids… and for the family drivers!
小題1:What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?
A．They can get bored easily about everything.
B．They might have no time to do the homework.
C．They might not pay much attention to learning.
D．They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.
小題2:What should we think of children’s playing around aimlessly?
A．It is productive.B．It is helpful.C．It is a bad habit.D．It is a waste of time.
小題3:Why should parents limit the activities our children attend?
A．Because children have no time.
B．Because children cannot learn many things.
C．Because children do not have enough sleep.
D．Because children cannot focus on too many activities.
小題4:What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Don’t be children’s drivers after school.
B．Choose activities for your children wisely.
C．Make your children learn as much as possible.
D．Let children learn something from various subjects.

Recently, a scientist did some experiments．He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy．If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy．If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.
In videos of the experiment, he can see the children kicking, hiding their eyes--trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies．The results are different．Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute．Others lasted 15 minutes.
The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores．They got into better colleges and had better adult success．The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations （評(píng)價(jià)） 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.
The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, how to become rich．But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask "how do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?" This is to enter the world of human nature.
So these experiments along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important．Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well．They can avoid drugs and alcohol．For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals（煎熬）．No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.
小題1:The scientist did some experiments to         .
A．test children's self control and later success
B．test children's intelligence of ringing the bell
C．find good ways of training children to learn
D．prove that children's education is important
小題2:We can learn from the experiment that        
A．a(chǎn)ll children tried to ring the bell for more candies
B．some children didn't get any candy in the end
C．the children have different self- control
D．the last one to ring the bell is most successful
小題3:What is the best title for this passage?
A．Ways of self-control training
B．Experiments on children's ringing the bell
C．Higher score, better achievements
D．Self-control is the key to success

Moving to a new town or even a new neighborhood is stressful at any age, but a new study shows that frequent moves in childhood are related to poorer well-being(幸福) in adulthood, especially among people who are more introverted(內(nèi)向的) or neurotic(神經(jīng)癥的).
The researchers tested the relationship between the number of childhood moves and well-being in a sample of 7108 American adults who were followed for 10 years.
“We know that children who move frequently are more likely to perform poorly in school and have more behavioral problems,” said the study’s lead author Shigehiro Oishi. “However, the long-term effects of moving on well-being in adulthood have been overlooked by researchers.”
The study’s participants, who were between the ages of 20 and 75, were contacted in 1994 and 1995 and were surveyed again 10 years later. They were asked how many times they had moved as children, as well as about their psychological well-being, personality type and social relationships.
The researchers found that the more times people moved as children, the more likely they were to report lower life satisfaction and psychological well-being at the time they were surveyed. The research also showed that those who moved frequently as children had fewer quality social relationships as adults.
The researchers also looked to see if different personality types affected frequent movers’ well-being. Among introverts, the more moves participants reported as children, the worse off they were as adults. “Moving a lot makes it difficult for people to keep long-term close relationships.” Said Oishi. “This might not be a serious problem for outgoing people who can make friends quickly and easily.”
The findings showed neurotic people who moved frequently reported less life satisfaction and poorer psychological well-being than people who did not move as much and people who were not neurotic. However, the number and quality of neurotic people’s relationships had no effect on their well-being, no matter how often they had moved as children. In the article, Oishi thinks this may be because neurotic people have more negative reactions to stressful life events in general.
“We can guess that moving often creates more stress,” Oishi said. “But we need more research on this link before we can conclude that moving often in childhood can, in fact, be dangerous to your health in the long-term.”
小題1:What can be learnt about the new study from the passage?
A．The participants were from all over the world.
B．It was carried out in two periods of time.
C．The participants were mostly old people.
D．The participants had poor health.

D．moving often is dangerous to people’s health in the long-term
小題4:The fifth and sixth paragraphs mainly talk about             .
A．the process of the study

The art of public speaking began in ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago. Now, twitter, e-mail, blogs and QQ chat offer approaches to communication— but none can replace the role of a great speech.
The spoken word can handle various important functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, paying tribute (致敬), entertaining, or simply introducing someone.
Persuading is used in dealing with or reconciling different points of view. When the leaders met in Copenhagen in December, 2009, persuasive words from activities encouraged them to take former action.
Inspirational speeches deal with emotions. They focus on topics and matters that are close to people’ s hearts. Last year, during the fighting in Iraq, generals used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle.
Some speeches spread knowledge and deepen understanding. When the H1N1 flu was announced, the disease scared many people. Informtive speechs from World Health Organization (WTO) officials helped people to keep their panic under control so they could take necessary preventive measures.
Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their contribution can be comforting. Madonna’s speech about Michael Jackson after his death showed the fact that he will continue to live on through his music.
It’s not only in world forums where public speaking plays an important role. It can also be helpful in the course of our own life. You may be asked to do a presentation at college or work to inform others about an area of great importance. On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting. Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family gathering or to speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or make them laugh.
Great speaking ability is not something we’re born with. Even Barack Obama works hard to perfect every speech.
小題1:The underlined word “recociling” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “________”
A．consideringB．questioningC．a(chǎn)cceptingD．settling
小題2:The passage mentions the H1N1 flu to show the function of _______
A．persuasive speechesB．informative speeches
C．inspirational speechesD．introductive speech
小題3:The 7th paragraph mainly tells us that public speaking ______.
A．is important in world forums
B．can help us make more friends
C．matters more in one’s life
D．is helpful in our daily life
小題4:What would the writer probably talk about following the last paragraph?
A．How the speech came into being
B．Why the public speaking is imporatant.
C．How you can perfect your speech
D．Why Obama often makes speeches
小題5:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Tips of great speechesB．The history of the speech

Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.
Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, " I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half." Now, all parts of an advertising program are properly measured and researched.
What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Today's advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader's attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humor is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.
小題1:The purpose of advertising is ____.
A．to increase product sales
B．to make a product much better
C．to spend more money
D．to reduce the production
小題2:Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined phrase "hand in hand" ?
A．Here and there. B．Again and again.
C．As usual. D．At the same time.
小題3: What is meant by what managers said in the second paragraph?
A．A11 the money on advertising was wasted.
B．Not all the advertisements were well designed.
C．A11 the managers knew about advertising then.
D．Managers spent no money on advertising.
小題4:What does the writer think of advertising?
A．Useless.B．Unnecessary.C．Important.D．Wasteful.

How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say，“my destiny(命運(yùn)). I cannot change it. ”
Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的) factor.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is. She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”？ She believes she has tried her best and just accepts for her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her, and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn't realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work! Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it.  If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand(or sit) there, do something to improve your life.
小題1:According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life ________.
A．doesn't need improving
B．couldn't be improved
C．will be better some day
D．will be worse in the future
小題2:What does the author think of the woman's life?
A．Passive.B．Positive.
C．Colorful.D．Boring.
小題3:Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?
A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
B．Your luck can be changed by your efforts.
C．You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
小題4:In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of ________.
A．hope for the best
B．intention to succeed
C．positive thinking
D．positive action
