The death of Steve Jobs provides a chance to take some lessons from his amazing life. Steve Jobs had a passion(激情) for education. He may be gone, but we still have a chance to learn from his courage and innovation(革新).
Making Mistakes
I think that the main reason why we can't find proper ways to improve the education system that no longer serves us well is simply fear. Fear of failure. Fear of getting it wrong. Teachers fear that innovation could endanger their jobs. Steve had the attitude we need in education right now. "Sometimes when you create something, you make mistakes. It is best to admit(承认) them and get on with improving your other innovations." That's the kind of spirit that we need to have.
Motivation(动机) Matters
We've concentrated(专注于) so much on results that we don't always reward good motivations. But these things are very important. In our schools, we've cared so much about test results that we've lost creativity. We don't reward students for their hard work, and we punish failure. As a result, we lost imagination and found no motivation to try something that has a chance of ending in failure.
What Defines(定义) Failure
The company that Steve Jobs started in 1985 after being forced out of Apple shows us how technology could influence educational innovation. In 1985 he started NeXT. The company was providing computers for educational purposes. NeXT wasn't really financially(经济上) successful. But it may have been ahead of its time. Today, we see what the technology brings into the classroom.
Changing Our Model
The company sold around 50,000 computers. But that would be missing the point. It was a NeXT cube workstation that encouraged the first web server. It helped in the development of early Internet technology. Truly, Steve Jobs has taught us that results are not the most important things in life.
34.The article tells us making mistakes _.
A. is always something very bad B. will help us become better people
C. is a part of making something new D. will keep us from reaching our dreams
35.We may lose our creativity and imagination if we _.
A. make a lot of mistakes B. fail to have a right model
C. can't be financially successful D. concentrate too much on results
36.Steve Jobs might agree that _.
A. a good motivation can lead to a successful result
B. we shouldn't be afraid of failure and it can lead to success
C. making money is the only way to judge success
D. having a passion is the most important thing for success
37.According to the article, which word can best describe Steve Jobs' spirit
A. Passion. B. Motivation. C. Innovation. D. Creativity.
C
Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge. If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.
● Always notice the environment around you. You shouldn’t walk alone outside .Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them easily.
● Your bag should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting it on your back. When a bus is full of people, it is easy enough for a thief to take away the things in the bag on your back.
● If you are followed by someone you don’t know, cross the street and go to the other way, letting the person understand that you know he or she is after you. Next, don’t go home at once. You are safer in the street than you are alone in your home or in a lift.
● If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes earlier before the bus leaves. This stops other people from studying you. On the bus, don’t sit alone. Sit behind the driver or with other people. Don’t sleep.

Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon Perhaps you’ll discover earth II someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
