Quite simply, because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of t
23、he human condition and that every person had the right to fail. Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her childs hastily made table as “perfect” even though it doesnt stand
24、 still. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. The trouble with failure-prevention devices is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything. No one can win all the time-and
25、that its possible to enjoy a game even when you dont win. A child whos not invited to a birthday party, who doesnt make the honor list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course, but parents should not offer a quick consolation prize(安慰奖) or say, “It doesnt matter.” Because it does. The young s
26、hould be allowed to experience disappointment-and be helped to master it. Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “why did I fail?” Dont blame someone else. Ask yourself wha
27、t you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, dont be shy about inquiring. Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a second one, from an illchosen first house what to look for in a
28、second. Even a failure that seems definitive can prompt(激起) fresh thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet a friend of mine auditioned(面试) for a professional company. She was turned down. “would further training help?” she asked. The ballet master shook his head. “You will
29、never be a dancer,” he said, “you havent the body for it.” In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock(鉴定) bravely and ask, “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where shes both able and useful. Failure frees on
30、e to take risks because theres less to lose. Often there is recovery of energya way to find new possibilities. 46. The first paragraph tells us _. A. the reason why so many people are afraid of failure B. the reason why we dont know how to fail C. failure is very natural for every person D. one shou

Ewart jumped out of bed on the second floor of his home. Downstairs he heard loud popping noises, glass bulb
34、s, furniture, appliances exploding as fire consumed them. Three hundred and fifty people, including friends and family members, had attended Ewarts annual Christmas party at his home in Valencia, California. David was a giver. They all enjoyed themselves. After the party, he and his 77-year-old moth
35、er, Esther, put out the candlesall but one, missed and left burning on a holiday paper tablecloth. Now, as Ewart started down the hall to alert his parents and three children, he said a silent prayer: God, if it is your will, save us. The heat was hellish(地狱般的). But then he felt a hand on his should
36、erand something that was not quite a voice guiding him, giving him the direction: the bedroom window. He kicked out the window screen and told Heather to jump onto the patio(院子) cover, crawl to the edge and drop to the ground, the feet below. Next he headed for his two sons, Jonathan, 13, and Michae
37、l, 15, who were screaming with pain. David led Jonathan to the window. He returned for Michael, who was now helping his grandparents, trapped in their room behind a jammed door. Michael threw himself against it and finally burst through. David guided his mother, then Michael, to safety. Only his fat
38、her remained. The 81-year-olds face was badly burned. He lost his footing and fell. David took his hand and helped him to the window. Too weak to hold on, his father rolled off the patio cover to the ground. Finally,David escaped. Second later, the second floor exploded, yet all the while, he felt h

C Room for Revolution: George Washington and His Philadelphia Friends March 16,2007 August 30,2007 Charles Wilson
43、 Peales George Washington at Princeton is on view(展览) at the museum which was lent from a private collection. This visually striking and finely made life-size portrait(肖null)records Washingtons 6-foot-2-inch figure in a pose highlighting strength, composure(沉着), and elegance(高雅). It is put up in a r
44、oom neighboring to the Powel House parlor(客厅), a period room from one of Philadelphias greatest eighteenth-century private homes, where Washington was frequently entertained by his friends, Samuel and Elizabeth Powel. Both spaces contain important examples of furniture by Philadelphias finest crafts
45、men, such as Thomas Affleck and Aitken. Among these is a side chair specially ordered by the Washingtons when living in Philadelphia. Painted in Philadelphia in 1779, Peals painting was immediately sent to Europe to promote Washingtons reputation as a leader and the cause of the American Revolution, then in progress. Later , during Europes Napoleonic Wars, a Spanish duke(公爵) with strong sympathies with American Revolution owned the picture. At that time he added the complicated carved caption(标题) to it, which describes Washington as “ a liberator of his country who abandoned absolute p
