Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(标准). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.
Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them.
【小题1】How do most parents prevent their children from failure?
A.They give them some presents.
B.They don’t tell them that they have failed.
C.They don’t blame others.
D.They help them to come out of failure.
【小题2】Which of the following can a person learn when he fails?
A.It’s impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it.
B.He is the worst of all.
C.It’s natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time.
D.His teammates are not good enough.
【小题3】The writer of this article thinks that if a child fails, parents should __________________.
A.give him a small prize
B.advise him to repeat failure
C.blame others
D.encourage him to learn from failure
【小题4】4. Which would be the best title (标题) for the passage?
A.Learning from Failure
B.Ways of Preventing Failure
C.Reasons of Failure
D.Getting Pleasure from Failure

“Life is speeding up(加快速度). Everyone is getting unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person wrote it.

Inventions can change our lives. But have all these things really improved our lives? Imagine this. You’re doing your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer is turned off and you lose all your work. How do you feel?
