　　In one way of thinking, failure is 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. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times to span the gap. 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 form 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 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 anyway.

　　The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “l(fā)ive with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You cannot win them all.”

　　1. This passage deals with two sides of failure. In section 1 the author talks mainly about ______.( )

　　A. the value of failure B. how people fail

　　C. famous failure D. how not to fail

　　2. Robert Bruce is mentioned in this passage to show that ______.( )

　　A.failure must come before success

　　B.failure is not all bad

　　C.nature will help us if we let it

　　D.people who fail have plenty of company

　　3. Which of the following does the writer not tell us to do to cope with failure?( )

　　A.Check out our goals to see if they are right for us.

　　B.Think about failure as part of life

　　C.Think about a failure to find out what went wrong.

　　D.Avoid things that are beyond us.

　　4. The phrase “in top form” in paragraph 2 most probably means ______.( )

　　A.in a high position

　　B.in a best condition of skill

　　C.in a right shape

　　D.in a healthy state

　　5. We can conclude from the last paragraph of this passage that ______.( )

　　A.failure is the third important thing in one’s life

　　B.it is impossible to win a race without going through failure first

　　C.it is important to take heart when meeting with failure

　　D.we should live alone to experience failure

　　Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize?winners altogether.

　　Neil Hunt, one of the prize?winners, was called ‘Sunshine Superman’ by one newspaper writing about his design. It’s important, when people study the weather, to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power. With his prize of ￡100, Neil plans to carry on inventing.

　　You can do so much with animation(動畫片). Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!

　　The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of ‘pupil power’!

　　1. ______ was carried out recently in Britain.( )

　　A. A competition among schoolchildren

　　B. A competition in industry

　　3. What is Neil Hunt?( )

　　A. A schoolboy. B. A teacher.

　　C. A schoolgirl. D. A designer.

　　4. Neil Hunt was called ‘Sunshine Superman’ because ______.( )

　　A. he suggested the ways of using solar power

　　B. he designed a more accurate sunshine recorder

　　C. he was able to record direct sunshine accurately

　　D. he invented the way of using solar energy

　　5. Who invented animated road signs?( )

　　A. Neil Hunt. B. Simon West.

　　C. A driver. D. A schoolchild.
