The idiom “No pains, no gains” has been misused by some people to brush aside failures.
A mainland factory spent $200,000 to buy advanced equipment from Hong Kong, but later found part of it was produced by an inland factory and another part outdated.
This brought about $12,000 in losses, but the manager put it away, saying, “No pains, no gains.”
With the idiom as an excuse, many people take no precautions(预防措施)against failures before achieving(获得) success.
It is true that failure and setback(挫折) are not always avoidable(避免), and those who can draw lessons from defeat can usually succeed at last.
But it is certainly wrong to take the idiom “No pains, no gains” as an umbrella to excuse oneself.
China is making an effort to develop its economy. We have no time and money to waste, so steps must be taken to avoid avoidable failures.
27. According to this article, .
one can succeed only after he has suffered losses.
failure is not avoidable on one’s way to success.
one can succeed at last if he can draw lessons from defeat.
it is normal(正常的) to suffer failures before achieving success.
28. The manager .
was very sorry for the losses
thought no one should answer for(对…负责) the losses
said he would do his best to make up for the losses
was a serious man
29. Using the idiom as an excuse can .
cause many new losses
avoid new losses
make people more carefully in failure
make people completely realize the cause of losses
30. In this article, the writer tells us .
we should do our best to avoid failures though all the failures are not avoidable
it doesn’t matter much in any case if we suffer(承受) losses
we should pardon all the people who cause some losses
those who have taken precautions still should be punished if they fail in the end
