　　I like looking at my old photo album (影集), and the photos in it were taken when I worked as an actress. That’s the most beautiful memory in my life.

Suddenly the actor playing my father in the play kicked me hard in the leg. He hurt my feelings as well as my leg. I cried loudly. When the director said “Action!”, I kept crying.
During a break, my “father” came to me, but I didn’t forgive (原谅) him until he said my acting in the play was a success.

What can help us when we fail
Failure has been a part of life since our earliest moment of life. We often think of failure as something bad.　41　, which is neither bad nor good. However, what can help us when we fail
●Don’t be afraid of failure.
　42　. If we never fail in anything, we probably haven’t learned all that life has to teach us. So face failure bravely.
●Never stop trying.
Trying or learning something new is often half the battle(战斗). Don’t give up trying. You may get disappointed because of failure.　43　.
● 　44　.
Nobody can be our safety net all the time in our life. Only we can act as our own safety nets. Become your own best friend;do everything that you can possibly do for yourself.
●Don’t look back.
We spend too much of our life looking back. There is nothing back there to see.　45　 and I'm sure that you will find yourself in a better position.
A.Failure is how we learn
B.Learn to depend on ourselves
C.But failure is a normal and natural part of life
D.But if you give up, your progress will come to an end
E.Spend just 10 percent of your time looking forward to what life holds for you in the future

【人与社会·文化自信】
　　根据短文上下文和首字母提示写出所缺的单词,使短文内容完整连贯。
　　Chinese people started to build gardens more than 2,000 years ago. Chinese gardens are a special form of t　46　 Chinese culture and art.
At the entrance to a Chinese garden, there is usually a huge stone or wall to block(挡住)your view. This is to give you a pressed-in feeling, in order to later produce unexpected joy w　47　 you turn around the hall to see the amazing rockeries(假山)and a big lake. The best e　48　 is the Summer Palace.
Rockeries play an i　49　 role in the design of a Chinese-style garden. Without them, a garden could not be considered a Chinese-style garden. They are as important to a Chinese-style garden as sculptures are to a European-style garden. Geyuan Garden in Yangzhou is famous for
i　50　 rockeries of four seasons.
G　51　 in the south are mostly small in size. Chinese garden designers have used the method of “borrowing scenery with a mirror(镜子)” to create a sense of s　52　. A mirror is hung opposite a window to take in the outside scenery. A fine example of this is Pian Shi Shan Fang, a rock garden in He Garden, Yangzhou. A big mirror is built into the wall of its west corridor. The whole garden will be s　53　 in the mirror wherever the visitors are. A pool or a lake in a garden a　54　 serves this purpose. A pool runs from south to north through the garden of Pian Shi Shan Fang. In the east of the garden, a man-made moon is reflected(倒映)in the p　55　.
Whatever methods are used, every effort is made to achieve the purpose of giving visitors a sense of space in the garden.

Ⅶ.One possible version:
The colorful activities during the 30-minute break help make teenagers healthier and stronger.
In our school, we usually do running during the 30-minute break. When the bell rings, students walk out of the classroom to the playground. Then we are lined up and run together. I think it is quite boring. In my opinion, we need different kinds of activities at break, such as shuttlecock exercises, rope skipping and so on. Through these activities, we can really relax ourselves and experience the joy of sports. Also, we will be more energetic in class.
Different kinds of activities at break time will surely benefit us a lot. I really hope our school can organize more of them to ensure the overall development of us students.
