It's good to make mistakes，and here is why.
First of all，mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things.It's always good to try new things because when we are trying new things，we are growing.If we never try anything new，how can we improve？How can we expand？The simple answer is "We can't".Around us，everything in our physical world is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this：When we are making mistakes，we are learning.Consider this-Edison failed 10，000 times before he perfected the light bulb.When asked how it felt to fail that many times，he said that he had learned 10，000 things that didn't work.
Finally，when we make a mistake，we are much closer to success.Why？Because when all is said and done，we will have tried some number of things before we succeeded.Every time we make a mistake，we eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.
But all this doesn't mean that we should go through life without considering the result of a mistake.Quite the contrary，when we try something new，we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits.We shouldn't do anything blindly.Because we all have limited resources—in the form of time and money，so we must realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and arrange these resources appropriately so we can learn，make corrections，and try it again.Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.
There is an old saying that goes， "If you're not making mistakes，you're not trying hard enough." So go forth and make mistakes.And learn.And grow.
21.From the second paragraph，we can conclude that ______ .
A. mistakes are unnecessary for development
B. mistakes let us see our own limits
C. it's common for people to make mistakes
D. making mistakes is better than not trying
22.According to the passage，if we try new things，we can ______ .
A. move forward B. never fail
C. obtain nothing D. be closer to mistakes
23.The underlined word "eliminate" means ______ .
A. make up for B. get rid of C. choose D. solve
24.According to the passage，one thing we should pay attention to about making mistakes is ______ .
A. avoiding making the same mistakes
B. accepting the outcome willingly
C. making proper arrangements for our next try
D. hiding the results after each mistake
25.The article is mainly about ______ .
A. how to deal with mistakes
B. what benefits making mistakes brings
C. how to achieve success
D. how to make use of our mistakes

42.I always do voluntary work in the hospital.As a patient visitor，my primary goal is to deliver quality services to patients and families.By providing companionship for patients in a sometimes lonely environment，I try my best to serve and help to diminish the loneliness and frustration patients may feel after staying in a hospital for weeks or even months.
Every Saturday afternoon for three to four hours，with a list of patients who have requested a patient visitor service，I head up to the 5th，6th or 7th floor to first visit my priority patients.At the nurse's station，I kindly ask the nurses or the medical staff about the condition of the patients on that unit and confirm that the patients would like a visitor.After receiving an update from the nurse，I gently knock on the door of the patients and enter with a friendly "Hello".Then，I introduce myself and again politely ask if they would like a patient visitor.I usually try to prepare a few starting conversation topics such as the current news，sports scores and fun facts.However，the patients usually engage me first in an interesting conversation.
When volunteering as a patient visitor，I spent a lot of time communicating one-on-one with patients.Individual patients had individual needs and possessed extraordinary personal stories.Therefore，I found every visit fascinating.By talking，not only did I learn about the hospital settings and system，but I learned about the diverse life of others.
Many of the patients I have visited were truly inspiring and I always admire them for their strength.Although difficult，they were often willing to share their stories of pain，suffering，hopes and optimism.I realize that I am truly grateful and honored that they would share their personal stories with just a volunteer like me.
