Questions you should ask yourself when you fail
Let's face it.We all fail.The more new things we try the more failures we are likely to have.Experiencing failure can be a learning experience and an opportunity for a fresh start.__12__ A good way to begin this process is by asking yourself some tough questions.
1．What can I learn from this?
Take responsibility for what went wrong.OK, so it was not all your fault—but some of it was.Successful people don't make excuses or blame others.__13__ Be critical but constructive.Try to look at the experience objectively.Make a list of the key things that happened.Analyze the list step－by－step and look for the learning points.
2．Do I need to acquire or improve some skills?
Did the problem reveal some lack of skill on your part? How could you learn or improve those skills? Perhaps there are books or courses or people you could turn to.__14__
3．Who can I learn from?
Is there someone whom you can turn to for advice? Did a boss, colleague or a friend see what happened? __15__ Most people do not ask for help because they believe it to be a sign of weakness rather than strength.It's not.It shows that you are ready to learn and change.Any good friend will be happy to help.
4．What will I do next?
__16__ Will you try something similar or something different? Revisit your goals and objectives.This reversal has been a setback on your journey but think of it as a diversion rather than a halt.You can now reset your sights on your destination and plan a new course.
A．Now draw up an action plan.
B．Make them stepping stones to future success.
C．They take responsibility of the failure.
D．In fact the only way to avoid failure is to do nothing new.
E．The important thing is how we deal with failure.
F．Make a self－development plan to acquire the skills and experiences you need.
G．If they are constructive and supportive then ask them for some feedback and guidance.
答案
12．E [空格后面的一句A good way to...正是如何处理失败的最好方法之一，由此推断，空格处应该是“重要的是如何处理失败”。故选E。]
13．C [上面一句说成功人士不会找借口或责备别人，那么他们如何做呢？选项C意为“他们承担失败的责任”，符合语境。故选C。]
14．F [本段标题为“我需要获得或提升一些技能吗？”根据选项F中的关键词to acquire the skills and experiences可知本空应F。]
15．G [本段标题为“我向谁学习？”选项G中的关键词ask them for some feedback and guidance提升了应该向谁征求指导、向谁学习的问题。故选G。]
16．A [本段标题为“接下来我该做什么？”而选项A意为“现在拟定一份行动计划”，这份计划里面的内容正是接下来你需要做的事情。故选A。]

Life－long learning
Sun wen－28years old
“It's never too late to learn.” That was the advice that I got it and now I'm about to graduate in a Bachelor's Degree by distance learning. Because of my new qualification, I'm getting promoted at work.
In the past, if someone failed to get into university, he would have had no chance of get a degree. I gave me a second chance by studying for a degree in the evenings and on weekends while keeping a secure full－time job. The last four years have been hard work, and it's been worth it!
Ms Tang－45 years old
Three months ago, my manager laid me off because the company was not doing that well, but I felt as if I had done something wrongly. At first, I enjoy being a full－time housewife , but soon I got boring and decided to do a business course. I've always dreamed starting my own company.
I have nearly finished the course and prepared a business plan for setting up my own export company.

Eight years ago, I was a busy housewife.My life always revolved (旋转) around my children and husband.I felt my brain was stuck.One day my friend Judy called and told me that she was going to join an oil painting class on Friday evenings.She asked me to join the class together with her.I was hesitant to join her because I had never painted before.Judy encouraged me to join for fun.I finally accepted her invitation.
The first day in the class, we met our teacher, Mr.Chiou, who just came back from France.He showed us a lot of pictures of paintings of famous artists all around the world and told us some stories about art history.He said everyone is an artist.Everyone can draw or paint.Art is a silent language which can express human feelings.
We started to paint the things we liked or hated.We also painted the most beautiful and ugly thing in our minds.When I'm painting, I forget everything that I worry about.Sometimes I even forget the time.
Mr.Chiou not only opened the door of art for me but also gave me a way to broaden my life.I started to borrow art books from the library and visit museums in my free time.I'm not really good at painting, but I certainly enjoy it.
Every painting represents the artist's personality and feeling.For example, when I imitated(模仿) Vincent Van Gogh's painting, I can sense the passion and the energy from his painting.I think this is why, after I started to paint, I felt like my dried－out brain began receiving a new source of refreshing water.
【语篇解读】 作者通过自己8年前开始学习画画的感受说明了一个问题：发展自己的一项兴趣和爱好能使自己的精神得到恢复，也能使自己学到很多这种兴趣和爱好以外的有价值的东西。

I was invited to take part in a study abroad program in Japan in college one summer.I left for the study abroad in Japan soon after the spring semester(学期) of college let out at school.The entire time I was gone was six weeks.I had never spoken a word of Japanese and, though I tried to read up on the people and culture of Japan, I was taking a pretty big risk spending my summer on a study abroad program in Japan－a country I knew very little about.Some of my college friends even commented on how brave I was to take the risk.
As part of the college study abroad program, I had to live in a small village, where the other girl on the study abroad program and I were the only Americans in the whole village.
My job during the study abroad in Japan was to practice teaching children English.Even though I'm not an English major in college, I think I did a good job.I worked in a classroom with a native Japanese teacher, so I was never really asked to do much.On that one exception, the teacher did not come to work that day because she was sick or something, so I was in class in front of a group of 40 6－7－year－old Japanese children who didn't speak any English—and I didn't speak any Japanese, so it was pretty amusing.I did a lot of gesturing.
My favorite trip during my whole study abroad experience in Japan was to Taiwan, where there were actually elephants walking on the sidewalks next to me.At first I didn't even believe my eyes.I did have the chance to ride one, which was very cool.I was so surprised by how rough their skin was—it really does feel like sand paper.

A．Excited.
B．Calm.
C．Disappointed.
D．Worried.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，作者不会讲日语，也对日语不了解，由此推断作者参加这个国外学习项目时的心情是“担心”的。]
27．From the passage we can know that ________．
A．all the American college students who studied in Japan lived in villages
B．the author's work in Japan was to teach Japanese college students English

As is known to us all，almost all Chinese parents give their children pocket money or some of them don't direct their children how spend the money.In my opinion，it is acceptable whether children ask their parents for pocket money since they are not old enough to be independent.But there are some problems worth think about.
For one thing，some children don't spend their pocket money proper.They just buy whenever they like.For another thing，too much pocket money can make harm to the growth of children.
So parents should give our children just the right amount of pocket money.In addition，parents should be aware of the way the money are spent.
