In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The Spider Story is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century , was hiding in a cave (洞穴)from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web (织网). The spider tried to get across a rough place in the rock. It tried six times and it failed. On the seventh time it succeeded and went on to spin its web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he failed so often. He replied, “Failure I have no failure. Now I know 50,000 ways that won’t work.”
So first, always think about your failure. What caused it Were conditions right Were you in top form yourself What can you change so that things will go right next time
Second is the right goal you’re going to reach. Try to think about what your real goal may be and to think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me ” This may help you prevent failure that you can’t avoid.
The third thing is that failure is part of life. Learn to “live it with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember “You can’t win them all” .
( ) 1. This passage deals with .
A. ways to succeed B. failure and success
C. the spider story D. the invention of the light bulb
( ) 2. In the first paragraph, the writer talks mainly about .
A. the value of failure B. how success is achieved
C. famous failure D. Robert Bruce and Edison
( ) 3. The Spider Story shows that .
A. failure must come before success B. failure isn’t always as a bad thing
C. nature will help us if we let it D. people who fail are going to succeed
( ) 4. Even though we have failed, we should .
A. not think about it any more B. take it easy
C. give up D. learn to accept it
( ) 5. What can you learn from the passage above
A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. Live it with yourself.
C. The Spider Story is true. D. You can’t win them all.

People say that time is money, but I think time is more important than money. Time is just like one’s life. When it’s gone, it’ll never come back, so we should work hard in our teens.

A
Three years ago I walked out of school and the sky was black. It looked like it was going
to rain. “I must get home quickly,” I said to myself. I began to ride my bike faster.
When I turned the corner, I saw a motorbike coming towards me. I wanted to stop but it was too late. “Ouch!” I felt a pain in my legs. Thank goodness, it wasn’t too bad. But it still hurt.
I looked around for someone to help. There was a girl not far away. She saw me and stopped.
“Don’t cry. Things are not so bad. I can help you. My home isn’t e and take some medicine.”
She helped me stand up. Now I could have a good look at her. She was tall and strong, with long straight hair and big eyes. I guessed we were at the same school. But I was in pain and forgot to ask her name.

It’s turn to say something about myself. I went to No. 1 Middle School in 1981. I stayed there for five years and left in 1986. I studied Chinese, Math, history, English and P.E. I got A for Math and history, and yes, grade C for the others. After graduation, I went to study nursing course. It was a three-year course. When I completed my nursing course, my first job was at Heart Home, taking care of the old people—it’s an old people’s home. It wasn’t really what I wanted to do, so I left after two years, in 1992 when I got a job at No. 3 People’s Hospital. I’ve been at the hospital since then.
After work I enjoy all kinds of music—and I play the violin. I love animals, so I read a lot of magazines about animals. It’s really fun! And I’m also taking classes in photography. If I go to Africa one day, I’d like to spend some time taking photographs of animals and birds—in my free time, of course.

My parents are very strict with me, and they have made some basic rules which I must obey. Firstly, I must finish my homework in time. Secondly, I cannot play computer games, even in my free time or on weekends. Thirdly, I have to do some chores, such as making the bed and tidying my bedroom and so on. If I break one of them, I will be punished. But thanks to these rules, I can live a healthy and regular life.
I think the second rule is unfair to me. I hope sometimes I could be allowed to play computer games for a while, it will make me relaxed.

Jimmy liked watches and clocks very much. When he was eighteen years old, he joined the army and after a year he began to teach himself to repair watches. A lot of his friends brought him broken watches and he repaired them for them.
One day, his captain brought him a watch，too，and said，“My watch has stopped. Can you repair it for me，please ” Jimmy said, ”Yes，sir, I can.’’ A few days later, he brought the watch back to the captain. ‘‘How much should I pay you ’’ the captain asked.
“One pound, sir” Jimmy answered. Then he took a small box out of his pocket and gave it to the captain. He said，“Here are three wheels from your watch. I couldn’t find a place for them when I put everything back.”

Robert and Peter study in the same university. They do everything together and help each other. But they often play jokes on each other.
The school year was over last month and they decided to travel through the country in America. They drove a car and could stop wherever they wanted. Of course they enjoyed themselves. It was very hot one day and they were both hungry and thirsty. They stopped in front of a restaurant by the road.They came in, sat down at a table and ordered some dishes. Robert looked around and found there was a small bowl on the table. He thought there was some ice cream in it and took a spoonful of it and put it into his mouth. Immediately he knew it was mustard(芥末) ,but it was too late. Tears ran down his face, but he pretended nothing had happened. The other young man, seeing his friend crying, asked. “What are you crying about, Robert ”
“I’m thinking of my father who was hanged twenty years ago,” was a reply.
After a while Peter made the same mistake. Tears ran down his cheeks(脸颊),too. And his friend asked him why.

Lawrence Henderson was walking slowly in the school garden, deeply lost in thought.
Several weeks earlier a company laboratory in town had asked him to work for them at almost twice the money he was getting as a teacher. He didn’t know whether to accept it or not, because he liked teaching, but he wanted to get more money for his family.
That evening, one of his students, Bob, paid a visit to him. Lawrence asked whether Bob was working as a salesman. Bob answered that he wasn’t and said he wanted to thank Lawrence for helping him decide what he should do. Lawrence was surprised. Bob explained, “I spent six months in your class and everything changed. You made chemistry so interesting that I gave up the idea of becoming a salesman and decided to continue studying science. I’m now preparing to become a doctor. Thank you, Mr. Henderson, for not letting me make a mistake.” Lawrence said, “You’ve helped me more than you know.”
After Bob left, Lawrence said to his wife, “it isn’t money that made me want to give up teaching. I don’t know if I was successful as a teacher. Bob is only one student, but that’s enough. If I helped one student, I guess I also helped the others and I feel much better about everything.”

It’s well known that Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time and he was also a really great person. Here are some interesting things about him.
When Einstein started to work in America, someone asked him what he needed. He said he needed a desk, some paper and a pencil. He also asked for a big waste-paper basket to hold all of his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can only learn by making mistakes.
Einstein regarded time as very important. He never wore socks and he thought putting on socks was a waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought it was a waste of time remembering things that could quickly be found in a book. That’s why he never remembered his own phone number, which was in the phone book. He knew what was worth remembering. It’s true that if we’re going to do great things in our lives, we cannot waste our time.
Einstein liked to joke, too. Once in an exam a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year’s. Einstein replied that the questions were the same but the answers were different!

English dictionaries are very useful to students. You may think that English dictionaries have
been 1 for many, many centuries. In 2 , an English dictionary you use today wasn’t made until the Qing dynasty. At that time men did most of the important early work on dictionaries. They spent nearly all their 3 trying to collect words for their dictionaries. For them, it was a wonderful journey. The largest dictionary in the world is Oxford English Dictionary. The idea of this dictionary came 4 an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years 5 , Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.
Murray had 6 been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and began to teach himself 7 working in a bank. Before long he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small 8 built in his garden, in which he could do the work.
