Failing Successfully
Two years ago I took part in a speech competition and I got the worst. Though losing the competition, I really wanted 1 (compete)again. I realized that finding the right topic was the most important part. It needs to be motivational and inspirational to the audience. So I reworked my speech for the 2 (follow)year, picking a different topic and spending countless hours polishing(润色) the speech, word 3 word.
The next year I participated in 4 competition again. My speech went well and I hoped to do that a bit better this year. 5 (sad), my wish didn't come true. The competition was so fierce that again I didn't make 6 .
The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow. I couldn't accept the fact 7 I had failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on. However, one of the 8 (judge)said to me that my speech was quite good, but it needed to be 9 (good) if I wanted to go any further. He advised me to struggle to overcome something like some of the empty gestures. He said that I would surely succeed some day.
Hearing such instructive and 10 (inspire) words, I knew I failed successfully. Losing is normal and part of life. This experience was not a fall but a slip.

When Allen invited me to a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined us in a cosy cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa and soft beds. But my happy imagination became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags and water bottles. We were going on survival training!
The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.
At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.
After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned(呻吟) but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming in. A storm is on its way.”
I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tent when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.
Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. “Don't worry. Summer storms pass quickly,” said Leo, trying to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.
And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible—I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.
I won't lie—I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.

A.Allen had arrived earlier than arranged.
B.He saw that Allen was not well prepared.

2.Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top
A.It was almost night time.
B.The weather was changing.
C.They were tired and needed to rest.
D.They needed protection from animals.
3.What can we guess about Leo
A.He was an experienced and capable hiker.
B.He was inconsiderate of others' feelings.
C.He had known the writer for a long time.
D.He had not been to this mountain before.
4.How did the author feel at the end of the story
A.Bitter.
B.Optimistic.
C.Scared.
D.Satisfied.

At the age of eight, Glenn Cunningham was severely injured in a fire. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital.
From his bed, the semi-conscious(半昏迷的)little boy heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that he would surely die—which was for the best, really—for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body.
But somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. The mother was told that her son was bound to spend his lifetime in a wheelchair.
But this brave little boy was determined that he would walk and even run. But unfortunately, from the waist down, Glenn had no motor ability. His thin, scarred legs just hung there, all but lifeless. Yet his courage that he would walk was as strong as ever.
One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air. This day, instead of sitting there, he threw himself from the chair. Glenn worked his way to the fence, dragging(缓慢移动) his legs behind him. Then, step by step, he began dragging himself along the fence, determined that he would walk. He started to do this every day until eventually he did develop the ability first to stand up, then to walk with help, then to walk by himself—and then amazingly—to run. Glenn began to run to school. He ran everywhere as fast as he could. Later in college, Glenn joined the track team where he received the nickname(绰号)“the Kansas Flyer”.
1938 witnessed this young man's another amazing achievement. This young man, who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, and who could never hope to run, ran a mile in 4 minutes and 4.4 seconds, the world's fastest indoor mile! His perseverance paid off.
1.What did the doctor think of Glenn's injury
A.It would take a long time for him to fully recover.
B.It would cost lots of money to cure him.
C.He would be semi-conscious.
D.He had little chance of surviving.
2.Why did Glenn receive the nickname “the Kansas Flyer”
A.Because he looked like “the Kansas Flyer”.
B.Because he once acted as “the Kansas Flyer”.
C.Because he could run very fast.
D.Because he joined the track team.
3.What achievement did Glenn make in 1938
A.He survived.
B.He developed the ability to walk.
C.He began to run to school.
D.He set a world record.
4.What is the best title for the passage

Justin and his younger sister, Lily, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day,Justin took Lily's shoes to a shoe repairman to have them fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Lily agreed and the two decided to share Justin's running shoes. Lily's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Justin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Justin often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Justin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of the race arrived. Justin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted, he thought only of Lily and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Justin from behind and Justin crashed to the ground.
Paragraph 1:
Justin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead.

Paragraph 1:
Justin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this crucial point, Justin clenched his teeth, jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. Finally, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Justin couldn t help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down. But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Justin won the third prize. Justin felt overjoyed and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the shoes close to his chest.
Paragraph 2:
Filled with pleasure, Justin walked home in no time. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Justin found Lily was walking about outside nervously and anxiously. “Lily, see what I have got for you,” Justin said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Lily saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Justin. “Thank you! Justin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.Unit 4Adversity And Courage同步巩固练-part 1

Born blind is tough in any case. But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth's parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the star.
Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-four-year-old man is the founder CEO of Bollant Industries.
Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didn't quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.
Concerned this would hold back Srikanth's development, his family decided to send him to a special school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached 10th grade, because it was thought too “dangerous” for a blind student. Not wanting to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.
Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees,70% of whom are physically challenged.
Being disabled doesn't mean being unable. “If the world looks at me and says, ‘Srikanth, you can do nothing,' I will look back at the world and say I can do anything,” says the young man.
1.Why was Srikanth sent to a special school
A.His parents became richer than before.
B.He could be treated equally there.
C.This school was free for disabled students.
D.He was sent away by the regular school.
2.What can we know about Srikanth from the text
A.He was born in a poor village.
B.He cared about disabled people.
C.His parents were strict with him in his study.
D.He was loved by the villagers when he was young.
3.What words can best describe Srikanth
A.Intelligent and determined.
B.Active and honest.
C.Patient and careful.
D.Kind but stubborn.
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.Chances Are Everywhere
B.No Challenges, No Success
C.Big Dream Makes a Difference
D.Disability Doesn't Mean Being Unable

Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.
Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After stripping off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does this mean ” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
The strong and hard potatoes became soft and weak in the boiling water. The eggs were fragile, with thin outer shell protecting their liquid until they were put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the eggs became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like ” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond ”
In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.
5.Why did the girl complain to her father
A.Because of her hard life.
B.Because of her tiring job.
C.Because of her father's busy work.
