    In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web（蜘蛛织网）. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, 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 conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?

    Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about his 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 anyway.

    The third thing to bear in mind 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 win them all.”

    1.This passage deals with two sides of failure. In paragraph 1, the author talks mainly about________. 

    A．the value of failure

    B．how people would fail

    C．famous failures

    D．the cause of failure

    2.The underlined phrase “made it” means________.

    A．succeeded

    B．failed

    C．gave

    D．got

    3.The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems________.

    A．productive

    B．straight forward

    C．sorrowful

    D．deep

    4.The author tells you to do all things except________.

    A．to think about the cause of your failure

    B．to check out whether your goals are right for you

    C．to consider failure as a part or life

    D．to bear in mind that you will never fail in your life

    5.Which of the following is NOT true?

    A．Bruce and Edison were successful examples.

    B．Failure may be regarded as a way toward success.

    C．Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce.

    D．One may often raise a question whether his goals are worth attempting.

    2.A

    3.D

    4.D

    5.C

    【解析】失败是什么？失败是生活的一部分！文章告诉了我们该如何面对失败！

    1.段落大意题。根据第一段第一行以及故事内容可知讲述的是失败的价值与意义。

    2.猜测词义题。根据上文可知六次了那只蜘蛛都没有成功，而在第七次尝试中，他终于做到了。可知A正确。

    3.推理题。根据第一段第五行Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English

    可知蜘蛛给他的教训很深刻，他从中学到了很多，鼓励着他打败敌人。

    4.细节题。根据文章最后一段可知，失败是我们生活的一部分。所以D的说法是错误的。

    5.细节题。根据第一段内容可知从蜘蛛的故事中学的教训的是Bruce而不是Edison

    Some people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the spirit of sport: the pursuit (追求) of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The sportsman representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation’s hopes and dreams.
    A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps eh greatest of international sporting success. Mention “ Argentina ” to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “ put Argentina on the map ”.
    Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won the World Cup. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
    So am I arguing that international competitions kill the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is better than all others? Not really. But it’s nice to know that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best.
    【小题1】What is mainly discussed in this passage is _________.

    A．why international sport is necessary
    B．what international sport is like
    C．how international sport goes on
    D．what disadvantages international sport has
    【小题2】Those who are against international competitions think that ________.
    A．sport should not be so popularB．sport should not be competitive
    C．sport should be for personal purposeD．sport should be made easier
    【小题3】We can infer from the passage that the underlined word “ irrational ” means_________.
    A．against reasonable behaviorB．having much knowledge
    C．unable to understandD．eager to know
    【小题4】What does the writer mean by saying that winning the World Cup “ put Argentina on the map”_____
    A．Argentina has the best football player
    B．Argentina has become world-famous for football
    C．Football is very popular in Argentina
    D．Argentina has begun to pay much attention to football

    How to Release Creativity

    According to most dictionaries. creativity is the ability to create. However, creativity is more than what is defined by the dictionary. It is an idea, a process, a thought。or a state of mind. One cannot learn to be creative because creativity is natural and unique to each individual. People should know that creativity doesn’t equal success. It equals the act of expressing. So. if at first the goal that is aimed for is not achieved, there is no need for worry or frustration.

    Creativity can, however, be released by discovery. Some people need encouragement to help

    release their creativity. There are quite a few ways to release it.

    One way to release creativity would be to look for what can inspire you. Looking at the world and admiring the differences in people and places help. Creativity can be drawn from their beauty. A person can touch, taste, smell, hear, and see hundreds of different objects. Aromas from foods, textures of blankets, and sight of unusual objects can all give inspiration.

    Many people are too concerned with how things should look. The focus should be on how it actually looks in the raw, to the human eye. Colors and shapes can be distorted(扭曲)by the mere fact that people want others to see it for what it is. It’s more difficult for someone to let go of all that and just let their creativity flow, unblocked.

    Another way to get the creativity flowing is to research what other artists have done or are currently doing. Their cultures and biographies alone can be an inspiration. Examining their works can help some appreciate artistic expression. New techniques can even be drawn from their works.

    Some people are even inspired by everyday events, like reading the newspaper or watching the news. Some can take other people’s situations and describe how it makes them feel. That is a way to release creativity. Controversial issues, such as War or abortion, can inspire writings like poems. They can be used to express death, loss, or tragedy. General topics such as religion or politics can branch off into many directions, sending creativity into overdrive.

    Creativity is not about reaching a goal or being a perfectionist. It’s about being, feeling, and taking all that is inside and letting it out in one way or another. Creativity is not always expressed by paintings, drawings, or writings. One’s action is the main form to express creativity. Romance, for example, is a form of creativity. Love and emotion are inspired by one person for another. Taking something inside and then putting it back out into the world as another thing is the key of creativity. Knowing and loving someone so much that there is a need to express it is a very natural form of creativity.

    Another form of expressing creativity is talking. Some people are more blessed in this area than in more obvious ones。such as painting or drawing. They Paint a “word picture”. Speeches can be centered around new ideas and thoughts. It can contain an of one’s being and transform it into either simple or complicated words.

    Inspiration is vital to creativity. Even if it’s only a slight feeling or thought that inspires. Creativity can be released each time attempts are made to use the body as all outlet. Remember that creativity is not an art form, but that it forms art.
