| From 8:30pm to 9:30 pm on Saturday, March 26th, 2011, a great number of people around the world turned off the lights for Earth Hour. It is a bit like an environmental New Year, providing a chance to help care for our earth and make people around the world learn how important it is to do that. What can do during this hour? We can do lots of run things in the dark, such as planning a candlelight dinner for our family or a group of friends, telling stories and singing songs with the kids and neighbors. What did you do for Earth Hour this year? Let’s share the Earth Hour stories. |
| Emma I was on one of the mountains near the city and took photos of my city. It was great to watch the stars and the moon after a busy day so that I could enjoy this relaxing moment. |
| Albert I work as a waiter in a restaurant. Our restaurant was still open even for Earth Hour as we got lots of reservations (预定) that night. So we spent the hour working by candlelight. And guess what? Our customers loved that and promised to come for next Earth Hour. |
| Brandon I turned off the main power to my house and went for a walk for Earth Hour. It was a little strange to walk in the dark, but it was only for one hour. Just think of what it must have been like before the invention of the light bulb! |
| Mary I invited my friends who know and support Earth Hour activities. We actually had a candlelight concert and we talked about the old happy days that we spent together in college. |

In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In 26 way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often 27 Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider 28 a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough 29 in the rock. He tried six times. On the 30 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to 31 the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made 32 models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked 33 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have 34 failures. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't 35”.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused 36 ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go 37 next times.
Second, is the goal（目标 ） you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some 38 about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in 39 about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have 40 ．

In one way, it may be thought that failure is a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.
The “spider story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web（网）. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(电灯泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?
Second, is the goal you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be. Think about this question: If I am successful in this, where will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.
The third thing to remember about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself!” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t live with them all.”

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, a mistake is 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 new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is: “you can’t” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. For example, Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he 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 you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes. We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly, because our time and money are limited(有限的)
There is an old saying, “if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn, and grow, and succeed.
1.If you are making a mistake, that means__________.
A. you’re careful B. you’re kind
C. you’re growing D. you know nothing

3. After Edison failed 10,000 times, he__________.

C. invented the computer D. invented 10,000 new things
4.When you make a mistake, you are closer to___________.
A. time B. money C. success D. new things
5. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Never make mistakes
B. You can make mistakes without thinking
