第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Yesterday night,over a dinner with my elder brother’s family,a topic of happiness came up.My wife,Marla,a psychologist,was sharing Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of “flow” with us.Marla explained that according to the research on flow,people are happiest when they are absorbed in a task that is just challenging enough for them to experience a sense of mastery(熟练掌握).
A few moments later my brother,Yuri,offered the following opinions:“The first and only,necessary and sufficient factor for happiness is to stop associating happiness with pleasure.The two—happiness and pleasure—have nothing to do with each other.”
This morning,with my cup of coffee,I searched through a pile of books on my bedside table and at the bottom found a book by Bertrand Russell,I started reading but didn’t finish.In it,I found the following thought:
“The human animal,like others,is adapted to a certain amount of struggle for life,and when he is satisfied with his whims (突发奇想) without effort,the mere absence of effort from his life removes an essential ingredient of happiness.”
The conversation came full circle:people are happiest when they are in a state of flow (Csikszentmihalyi’s language)...which is the effortful devotion in a moment...which has nothing to do with pleasure.
Indeed,as Yuri insisted:happiness-as-pleasure is a myth;the association between happiness and pleasure is nothing but a semantic (语义的) habit;psychologically,the two—happiness and pleasure—are arguably different;and breaking up this association between pleasure and happiness might,in fact,be a powerfully first step in pursuit of happiness.
As I look back on the exchange,I recall that there was an effort,a struggle to find a common understanding about this seemingly difficult idea—a struggle that made me happy.
21.What is the purpose of writing this passage
A.To tell readers how to be happiest.
B.To advise readers to read Bertrand Russell.
C.To look back on the happy night.
D.To show different opinions on family gathering.
22.According to Marla,people feel happiest when they .
A.get what they want without effort
B.involve themselves in a challenging task
C.master the happiest around them
D.experience things that can bring pleasure
23.What writing style is used by the author to explain happiness
A.Giving examples.
B.Offering arguments.
C.Making comparisons.
D.Using quotes.
B
All parents have sky-high hopes for their children.We want them to be confident and content.What can parents do to help their kids grow up to lead happy lives Experts advise:
1.Helping them find their talents.In order to succeed,children need to feel they’re good at something.So expose your children to as many interests as possible;then let them choose those they like best.
2.Applauding their achievements.A study found that students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn’t show such support.So celebrate your kids’ achievements,no matter how small they are.
3.Praising their efforts.Kids won’t always come out on top.Still,they deserve kudos (赞誉) for trying their best.Ten-year-old April Cutler,for example,has had trouble with math since the second grade.“She usually gets C’s on her report card,but last year she was determined to get A’s and worked hard at it,” says her mom.“When the first grading period ended,April was disappointed when she got a B minus in math,” Lueille continues.“But my husband and I told her we were very proud that she’d improved.That inspired her to try even harder.She got a B plus for the next period!”
4.Letting them make decisions and mistakes.Making his/her own decisions increases a child’s sense of control and builds his/her self-esteem (自尊).And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won’t harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.
5.Encouraging them to solve their own problems.As they grow,children need practice in communicating,standing up for themselves and compromising.One of the best places to learn these skills is at home.So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is blaming her,step back and let them work it out.
24.What is the purpose of the passage
A.To encourage parents to admire their kids.
B.To show how to praise kids.
C.To help kids study harder.
D.To give advice on how to help kids become mature.
25.What can we learn from the example of April Cutler
A.Praising kids’ efforts can help them make greater progress.
B.Setting a high goal makes kids feel discouraged.
C.Solving problems by themselves helps kids feel confident.
D.Interest is the best teacher.
26.Why should parents allow kids to make mistakes
A.Making mistakes is a normal thing for a kid.
B.Adults also make mistakes now and then.
C.Kids can learn something valuable from their mistakes.
D.Making mistakes won’t harm kids.
C
You may not have heard of Ashoka,but for the past 27 years,this association,founded by Bill Drayton,has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness,promoted education and encouraged small businesses.To support these worthy causes,Ashoka provides money for the world’s most promising “changemakers” seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change.The important thing is to simply give yourself permission.If you see a problem that you care about,you can help solve it.The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy,healthy,contributing adult.In fact,it is many young people’s ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka,which handled the rubbish problem facing the city,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets,attracting tats and disease,they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste.So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆肥)this waste.They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years.At first,they were refused,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made,the project took off.In 2009 sales were $14,000.
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.
27.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage
A.Changemakers
B.Businessmen
C.Social Conditions
D.Rubbish Problem
28.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to
A.The local farmers.
B.Masqsood and Iftekhar.
C.Drayton and his team.
D.The poor people in Dhaka.
29.It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he .
A.considers Drayton’s concept
B.gets permission from Ashoka
C.tries to improve social conditions
D.is a young,happy and healthy adult
30.The author’s attitude towards Ashoka’s programme can be described as .
A.changing B.forgiving
C.cautious D.positive

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Distance runners often worry about “hitting the wall” during training or races,when negative thoughts become so overpowering that they make it difficult to continue. 31 At that time,the body’s glycogen (糖原) supplies become exhausted.As a result,many runners feel exhausted and discouraged,slow their pace,have trouble focusing and want to quit or walk. 32 Here are a few sports psychologist-approved techniques to try,which could have major benefits for an athlete’s performance and well-being.
·Make a motivational song list.Distracting yourself with some great tunes can help you make it to the finish line faster. 33
·Try the partner system.A running partner can keep you motivated and on-track,and might even improve your performance,research shows.
· 34 A study on weight-lifters found that mental practices can be as effective as physical practice,resulting in actual muscle increases.Visualising your if-then plan,for instance,could improve your chance of success.
·Try “attention narrowing”. 35 Last year,an NYU study found that focusing on an object on the horizon makes the distance feel shorter,and leads runners to go faster and perform better than those who let their minds wander.
With these helpful strategies,your next personal record might be just around the corner.
A.Plan what to do.
B.Visualise achieving your goal.
C.Finding ways to move past those kinds of experiences is very vital.
D.“Hitting the wall” typically happens around 20 miles in a marathon.
E.Runners who focus their eyes on an object in the distance get there faster.
F.There is evidence that saying motivational things to oneself benefits a lot.
G.Studies show athletes run,bike and swim farther and faster when listening to music.

The mental aspect of athletics is underrated.The common expression,“athletics is 90 percent 36 and 10 percent physical,” is often used by coaches,and stresses that mindsets make a huge 37 in competitions.
“The physical aspect of the sport can only take you 38 ,” said Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Shannon Miller during an interview with the Dana Foundation.“The mental aspect has to 39 ,especially when you’re talking about the best of the best.In the Olympic Games,everyone is talented.Everyone 40 hard.Everyone does the work.What 41 the gold medalists from the silver medalists is simply the mental game.”
Many athletes have used the technique of mental imagery,or 42 ,to perform at their best.Research on the brain patterns of 43 found that the patterns activated when a weightlifter lifted heavy weights were activated 44 when they simply imagined lifting and some studies have suggested that mental 45 can be almost as effective as physical training.One study,published in the JournalofSport&ExercisePsychology in 1996,found that 46 weight lifting caused 47 changes in muscle activity.
“Mental imagery 48 on many cognitive (认知的) processes in the brain:motor control,attention,perception,planning,and memory,” researcher Angie LeVan wrote in PsychologyToday.“Sothe 49 is getting trained for actual performance during visualisation.It’s been found that mental practices can enhance motivation,increase confidence,improve motor performance and 50 your brain for success.”
51 visualising is more than just thinking about an upcoming event. 52 athletes use visualisation,they truly feel the event taking place in their mind’s eye.
“During visualisation,she incorporates (整合) all of her 53 into the experience,” sports psychologist Dr JoAnn Dahlkoetter wrote in a blog post on The Huffington Post 54 a speed skater she works with.“She feels her forefoot pushing off the track,she hears her skating splits,and she sees herself racing ahead of the competitors.She experiences all of the elements of her race 55 before executing (完成) her performance.”

C.mental D.strategic

Boys like to be considered to be brave,but what kind of things can be considered to be brave It is not a question that can be answered by words,but by the actual deed.A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example.Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class.They always played together and went home together.One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school,they saw some people fighting in the street corner.Ronny said excitedly,“Some people are fighting!Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused,“It’s none of our business.We’d better go home and don’t get close to them.Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward,and afraid to go,” said Ronny,and off he ran to the spot with some other boys.Henry had to go home alone and didn’t think about it anymore.
But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that.They laughed at him a great deal.From then on,they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behaviour,because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved,and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus,he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well.However,Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore.Instead,he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school,they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun.

M:Good afternoon,everyone.I’m Mr John Francis,a representative from the Red Cross.I’m going to talk to you about the work of the organisation and about some basic aspects of First Aid.
Well,the Red Cross Movement was started by a businessman called Jean Henri Dunant.His interest in the innocent people caught up in war began in 1859 when he witnessed the effects of a very fierce battle in Italy.At the time,he organised all the villagers to help the wounded soldiers and make sure they had food and basic medical attention.In 1864,the same gentleman,together with four Swiss colleagues from his hometown,organised a conference which laid the foundations for the now famous organisation.In order to always be recognised,the Red Cross workers created their own symbol.They chose a red cross on a white background.It is protected by the law.Sometimes we find that the red cross has been used as a decorative symbol or to represent first aid stations but this is actually wrong because using the red cross for anything other than the international organisation is actually against the law.Even though we often associate a red cross with hospitals and medical treatment,in Australia,as in many countries,the recognised symbol for first aid and medical centres,in fact,is a white cross on a green background.

Chen Ruolin,who took up diving at the age of four and had been training hard and overcoming all kinds of difficulty,won two gold medals at the 2012 London Olympic Games.It is her great determination that led her to success.
As far as I am concerned,determination is very important in our lives.It not only encourages us to move forward,but also enables us to face difficulty bravely.Thus we can stick to our goals and succeed.It is not easy to cultivate determination.Above all,we must hold a strong belief that everyone has the potential to achieve success.We shouldn’t be discouraged when faced with setbacks.
Actually,failure can teach us a lot.What’s more,there are quite a few people with this spirit around us.We can learn a lot from them.

Paragraph1:
A few days later,something terrible happened to Ronny.That afternoon after school,Ronny was bathing with some of his new friends in the river happily.Suddenly,he was stuck in the mud and couldn’t get out.He struggled hard but he was still trapped.He screamed for help,but all in vain.The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could.They were so scared and did not even try to help him.
Paragraph2:
At that moment,Henry happened to pass by.He heard the screams and ran to the river as soon as possible.Seeing Ronny was almost drowned,Henry took off his clothes immediately and jumped into the water without any hesitation.He reached Ronny just as he was sinking the last time.With great effort,and with much danger to himself,he brought Ronny to the shore in time.Henry was happy to help his friend,though he was extremely tired.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Yesterday night,over a dinner with my elder brother’s family,a topic of happiness came up.My wife,Marla,a psychologist,was sharing Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of “flow” with us.Marla explained that according to the research on flow,people are happiest when they are absorbed in a task that is just challenging enough for them to experience a sense of mastery(熟练掌握).
A few moments later my brother,Yuri,offered the following opinions:“The first and only,necessary and sufficient factor for happiness is to stop associating happiness with pleasure.The two—happiness and pleasure—have nothing to do with each other.”
This morning,with my cup of coffee,I searched through a pile of books on my bedside table and at the bottom found a book by Bertrand Russell,I started reading but didn’t finish.In it,I found the following thought:
“The human animal,like others,is adapted to a certain amount of struggle for life,and when he is satisfied with his whims (突发奇想) without effort,the mere absence of effort from his life removes an essential ingredient of happiness.”
The conversation came full circle:people are happiest when they are in a state of flow (Csikszentmihalyi’s language)...which is the effortful devotion in a moment...which has nothing to do with pleasure.
Indeed,as Yuri insisted:happiness-as-pleasure is a myth;the association between happiness and pleasure is nothing but a semantic (语义的) habit;psychologically,the two—happiness and pleasure—are arguably different;and breaking up this association between pleasure and happiness might,in fact,be a powerfully first step in pursuit of happiness.
As I look back on the exchange,I recall that there was an effort,a struggle to find a common understanding about this seemingly difficult idea—a struggle that made me happy.
21.What is the purpose of writing this passage
A.To tell readers how to be happiest.
B.To advise readers to read Bertrand Russell.
C.To look back on the happy night.
D.To show different opinions on family gathering.
22.According to Marla,people feel happiest when they .
A.get what they want without effort
B.involve themselves in a challenging task
C.master the happiest around them
D.experience things that can bring pleasure
23.What writing style is used by the author to explain happiness
A.Giving examples.
B.Offering arguments.
C.Making comparisons.
D.Using quotes.
B
All parents have sky-high hopes for their children.We want them to be confident and content.What can parents do to help their kids grow up to lead happy lives Experts advise:
1.Helping them find their talents.In order to succeed,children need to feel they’re good at something.So expose your children to as many interests as possible;then let them choose those they like best.
2.Applauding their achievements.A study found that students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn’t show such support.So celebrate your kids’ achievements,no matter how small they are.
3.Praising their efforts.Kids won’t always come out on top.Still,they deserve kudos (赞誉) for trying their best.Ten-year-old April Cutler,for example,has had trouble with math since the second grade.“She usually gets C’s on her report card,but last year she was determined to get A’s and worked hard at it,” says her mom.“When the first grading period ended,April was disappointed when she got a B minus in math,” Lueille continues.“But my husband and I told her we were very proud that she’d improved.That inspired her to try even harder.She got a B plus for the next period!”
4.Letting them make decisions and mistakes.Making his/her own decisions increases a child’s sense of control and builds his/her self-esteem (自尊).And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won’t harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.
5.Encouraging them to solve their own problems.As they grow,children need practice in communicating,standing up for themselves and compromising.One of the best places to learn these skills is at home.So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is blaming her,step back and let them work it out.
24.What is the purpose of the passage
A.To encourage parents to admire their kids.
B.To show how to praise kids.
C.To help kids study harder.
D.To give advice on how to help kids become mature.
25.What can we learn from the example of April Cutler
A.Praising kids’ efforts can help them make greater progress.
B.Setting a high goal makes kids feel discouraged.
C.Solving problems by themselves helps kids feel confident.
D.Interest is the best teacher.
26.Why should parents allow kids to make mistakes
A.Making mistakes is a normal thing for a kid.
B.Adults also make mistakes now and then.
C.Kids can learn something valuable from their mistakes.
D.Making mistakes won’t harm kids.
C
You may not have heard of Ashoka,but for the past 27 years,this association,founded by Bill Drayton,has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness,promoted education and encouraged small businesses.To support these worthy causes,Ashoka provides money for the world’s most promising “changemakers” seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change.The important thing is to simply give yourself permission.If you see a problem that you care about,you can help solve it.The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy,healthy,contributing adult.In fact,it is many young people’s ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka,which handled the rubbish problem facing the city,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets,attracting tats and disease,they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste.So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆肥)this waste.They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years.At first,they were refused,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made,the project took off.In 2009 sales were $14,000.
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.
27.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage
A.Changemakers
B.Businessmen
C.Social Conditions
D.Rubbish Problem
28.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to
A.The local farmers.
B.Masqsood and Iftekhar.
C.Drayton and his team.
D.The poor people in Dhaka.
29.It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he .
A.considers Drayton’s concept
B.gets permission from Ashoka
C.tries to improve social conditions
D.is a young,happy and healthy adult
30.The author’s attitude towards Ashoka’s programme can be described as .
A.changing B.forgiving
C.cautious D.positive

Distance runners often worry about “hitting the wall” during training or races,when negative thoughts become so overpowering that they make it difficult to continue. 31 At that time,the body’s glycogen (糖原) supplies become exhausted.As a result,many runners feel exhausted and discouraged,slow their pace,have trouble focusing and want to quit or walk. 32 Here are a few sports psychologist-approved techniques to try,which could have major benefits for an athlete’s performance and well-being.
·Make a motivational song list.Distracting yourself with some great tunes can help you make it to the finish line faster. 33
·Try the partner system.A running partner can keep you motivated and on-track,and might even improve your performance,research shows.
· 34 A study on weight-lifters found that mental practices can be as effective as physical practice,resulting in actual muscle increases.Visualising your if-then plan,for instance,could improve your chance of success.
·Try “attention narrowing”. 35 Last year,an NYU study found that focusing on an object on the horizon makes the distance feel shorter,and leads runners to go faster and perform better than those who let their minds wander.
With these helpful strategies,your next personal record might be just around the corner.
A.Plan what to do.
B.Visualise achieving your goal.
C.Finding ways to move past those kinds of experiences is very vital.
D.“Hitting the wall” typically happens around 20 miles in a marathon.
E.Runners who focus their eyes on an object in the distance get there faster.
F.There is evidence that saying motivational things to oneself benefits a lot.
G.Studies show athletes run,bike and swim farther and faster when listening to music.

The mental aspect of athletics is underrated.The common expression,“athletics is 90 percent 36 and 10 percent physical,” is often used by coaches,and stresses that mindsets make a huge 37 in competitions.
“The physical aspect of the sport can only take you 38 ,” said Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Shannon Miller during an interview with the Dana Foundation.“The mental aspect has to 39 ,especially when you’re talking about the best of the best.In the Olympic Games,everyone is talented.Everyone 40 hard.Everyone does the work.What 41 the gold medalists from the silver medalists is simply the mental game.”
Many athletes have used the technique of mental imagery,or 42 ,to perform at their best.Research on the brain patterns of 43 found that the patterns activated when a weightlifter lifted heavy weights were activated 44 when they simply imagined lifting and some studies have suggested that mental 45 can be almost as effective as physical training.One study,published in the JournalofSport&ExercisePsychology in 1996,found that 46 weight lifting caused 47 changes in muscle activity.
“Mental imagery 48 on many cognitive (认知的) processes in the brain:motor control,attention,perception,planning,and memory,” researcher Angie LeVan wrote in PsychologyToday.“Sothe 49 is getting trained for actual performance during visualisation.It’s been found that mental practices can enhance motivation,increase confidence,improve motor performance and 50 your brain for success.”
51 visualising is more than just thinking about an upcoming event. 52 athletes use visualisation,they truly feel the event taking place in their mind’s eye.
“During visualisation,she incorporates (整合) all of her 53 into the experience,” sports psychologist Dr JoAnn Dahlkoetter wrote in a blog post on The Huffington Post 54 a speed skater she works with.“She feels her forefoot pushing off the track,she hears her skating splits,and she sees herself racing ahead of the competitors.She experiences all of the elements of her race 55 before executing (完成) her performance.”

Boys like to be considered to be brave,but what kind of things can be considered to be brave It is not a question that can be answered by words,but by the actual deed.A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example.Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class.They always played together and went home together.One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school,they saw some people fighting in the street corner.Ronny said excitedly,“Some people are fighting!Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused,“It’s none of our business.We’d better go home and don’t get close to them.Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward,and afraid to go,” said Ronny,and off he ran to the spot with some other boys.Henry had to go home alone and didn’t think about it anymore.
But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that.They laughed at him a great deal.From then on,they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behaviour,because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved,and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus,he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well.However,Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore.Instead,he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school,they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun.

M:Good afternoon,everyone.I’m Mr John Francis,a representative from the Red Cross.I’m going to talk to you about the work of the organisation and about some basic aspects of First Aid.
Well,the Red Cross Movement was started by a businessman called Jean Henri Dunant.His interest in the innocent people caught up in war began in 1859 when he witnessed the effects of a very fierce battle in Italy.At the time,he organised all the villagers to help the wounded soldiers and make sure they had food and basic medical attention.In 1864,the same gentleman,together with four Swiss colleagues from his hometown,organised a conference which laid the foundations for the now famous organisation.In order to always be recognised,the Red Cross workers created their own symbol.They chose a red cross on a white background.It is protected by the law.Sometimes we find that the red cross has been used as a decorative symbol or to represent first aid stations but this is actually wrong because using the red cross for anything other than the international organisation is actually against the law.Even though we often associate a red cross with hospitals and medical treatment,in Australia,as in many countries,the recognised symbol for first aid and medical centres,in fact,is a white cross on a green background.

Chen Ruolin,who took up diving at the age of four and had been training hard and overcoming all kinds of difficulty,won two gold medals at the 2012 London Olympic Games.It is her great determination that led her to success.
As far as I am concerned,determination is very important in our lives.It not only encourages us to move forward,but also enables us to face difficulty bravely.Thus we can stick to our goals and succeed.It is not easy to cultivate determination.Above all,we must hold a strong belief that everyone has the potential to achieve success.We shouldn’t be discouraged when faced with setbacks.
Actually,failure can teach us a lot.What’s more,there are quite a few people with this spirit around us.We can learn a lot from them.

Paragraph1:
A few days later,something terrible happened to Ronny.That afternoon after school,Ronny was bathing with some of his new friends in the river happily.Suddenly,he was stuck in the mud and couldn’t get out.He struggled hard but he was still trapped.He screamed for help,but all in vain.The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could.They were so scared and did not even try to help him.
Paragraph2:
At that moment,Henry happened to pass by.He heard the screams and ran to the river as soon as possible.Seeing Ronny was almost drowned,Henry took off his clothes immediately and jumped into the water without any hesitation.He reached Ronny just as he was sinking the last time.With great effort,and with much danger to himself,he brought Ronny to the shore in time.Henry was happy to help his friend,though he was extremely tired.
