When you make a mis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )take, big or small, cherish it like it’s the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is.
Most of us feel b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.
And that’s only na ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet without mistake ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.
By trial and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.
Mistakes make wal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )king possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.
Think about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )how we learn: we don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey.
So if you value l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )earning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.
60. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes
A. Because mi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stakes make us suffer a lot. B. Because it’s a natural part in our life.
C. Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.
D. Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.
61. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes
A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.
D. We should m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ake feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
62. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means .
A. a small ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to draw
C. a primary ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write
63. We can learn from the passage that .
A. most of us can really grow from success
B. growing and improving are based on mistakes
C. we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D. we read about something and know how to do it right away
C
How do people traditio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nally manufacture (制造) things They usually start with a sheet of metal, wood or other material and cut, drill (钻) and shave it to create a desired shape. Sometimes, they use a mold (模具) made of metal or sand, pour liquid plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a solid part.
Now, a completely different method is gaining popularity.
On Oct. 9, 2013, London Science Museum kicked off its new exhibition, 3-D: Printing the Future, with over 600 3-D printed objects on display, including space probes (探测器), toy dolls and even human organs – basically any product you can think of, reported Live Science.
You might find it hard to believe that an object can actually be “printed out” like a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it works. Just as a traditional printer sprays (喷洒) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.
Instead of ink, the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (树脂) and certain metals. The thinner each layer is – from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair – the smoother and finer the object will be. And objects always come out in one piece, sparing you the trouble of putting different parts together afterward.
For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost ￡20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now it costs only about ￡1,000, according to the BBC. In fact, 3-D printers have been around for some time, but until recently they hadn’t been very popular since few people could afford them. Last year, though, saw a big decrease in the price of 3-D printers.
However, as 3-D printing technology becomes more commonplace, it may trigger certain problems. One of them is piracy (盗版). “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-D printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again ” an expert on 3-D printing told Forbes News.
Even more frightening, the world’s first 3-D printed gun was successfully fired in the US in May of this year, which means that 3-D printing could potentially give more people access to weapons.
64. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he article, in the future, 3-D printing technology will probably ______.
A. change the way people make products
B. be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers
C. forbid ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny countries to make purchases of weapons
D. take the place of normal printers and save lots of energy
65. What was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the big event that happened in the 3-D printing industry last year
A. Over 600 3-D printed objects were on display in an exhibition.
B. 3-D printing technology came to be used in various fields.
C. The world’s first 3-D printed gun was successfully made.
D. The 3-D printer became more affordable for consumers.
66. What is the au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thor’s attitude toward 3-D printing technology
A. Amused. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
D
World travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travelers to plan their trips online. Virtual tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new, has seen some tourism websites grow to host over one-million users.
Typically, this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question.Tips and information are not provided by a single source, such as the website host, but rather from travelers themselves-often in the thousands. This has proven to be exceptionally beneficial for would-be travelers who are seeking infomtation on questions such as where to find the best museum or beach; whether it is better to tour Brussels with a bicycle or on foot; and which exchange rate bureaus are available in Italy. Questions about food and restaurants; tourist spots; safety; accommodation; and others are all answered. In addition, posted tips promote better preparation, such as what to pack when heading for Sicily(西西里岛).
Apart from the useful tips, visual images and virtual tours have also been made available. If you'd like to visit the Eiffel Tower, it's a good idea to view the surrounding areas; to pick a safer train route; or to know that it's very close to the Seine River and that a walk along it would enhance the experience.
Virtual tours have sprung up globally. In South Africa, John Gore established the Virtual Tour Guide in November last year. On his blog, Gore was quoted a saying, "The world is panoramic(全景的). "'We are able to tum our heads and look in all directions and get a feel for where we are, but the typical photograph cannot show or describe that experience completely. " However, there is an answer-technology makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360 degree panoramic way, which really makes the viewer feel as though he or she is really there.
67. Why is virtual t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ourism more and more popular
A. Online games are more and more attractive. B. Many new websites appear and develop fast.
C. More and more people want to travel abroad. D. It helps travelers save as much money as possible.
68. From the second ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) paragraph we know
A. we can solve any problem on websites B. websites offer all the tips and information
C. we can get all our questions answered online D. we can get many tips about tourism on websites
69. What does the unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined word "sprung up" most probably mean
A. Appeared. B. Moved. C. Competed. D. Reduced.
70. What makes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )us see the world in a panoramic way
A. Information. B. Photograph. C. Technology. D. Virtual images.

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。
Laughter makes you feel good. And the good feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you even after the laughter disappears. Humor helps you keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments, and loss.
More than just a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pause from sadness and pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult of times, a laugh –-- or even simply a smile–can go a long way toward making you feel better. And laughter really is contagious (有传染的)—just hearing laughter primes your brain and readies you to smile and join in the fun.
Laughter stren ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gthens our relationships by bringing positive feelings and building emotional connections. When we laugh with one another, a positive bond is created. This bond fights stress, disagreements, and disappointment.
Shared laughter is one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the most effective tools for keeping relationships fresh and exciting. All emotional sharing builds strong and lasting relationship bonds. Laughter unites people during difficult times.
Having more humor and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) play into your daily interactions can improve the quality of your love relationships— as well as your connections with co-workers, family members, and friends.
Laughter is your birth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )right, a natural part of life that is inborn. Little babies begin smiling during the first weeks of life and laugh out loud within months of being born. Even if you did not grow up in a family where laughter was a common sound, you can learn to laugh at any stage of life.
One essential c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )haracteristic that helps us laugh is not taking ourselves too seriously. We’ve all known someone who takes everything with deathly seriousness and never laughs at anything. No fun there!
The ability to laugh, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )play, and have fun with others not only makes life more enjoyable but also helps you solve problems, connect with others, and be more creative. People who include humor and play into their daily lives find that it renews them and all of their relationships.
Life brings c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hallenges that can either get the best of you or become playthings for your imagination. When you “become the problem” and take yourself too seriously, it can be hard to think outside the box and find new solutions. But when you play with the problem, you can often transform it into an opportunity for creative learning.
Title: Laughter is good for you
