　　【2017·湛江市普通高考测试一When you make a mistake，big or small，cherish it as it’s the most precious thing in the world.

　　Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes，beat ourselves up about it，feel like failures，and get mad at ourselves.

　　And that’s only natural：Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad，and we should try to avoid mistakes.We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home，school and work.Maybe not always，but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.

　　Yet without mistakes，we could not learn or grow.If you think about it that way，mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the

　　world：They

　　make

　　learning

　　possible；they make growth

　　and improvement possible.

　　By trial and error—trying things，making mistakes，and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric lights，to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel，and to fly.

　　Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler，make speech possible，and make works of genius possible.

　　Think about how we learn：We don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it.You don’t just read about painting，or writing，or computer programming，or baking，or playing the piano，and know how to do them fight away.Instead，you get information about something，from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation...and repeat，making mistakes，learning from those mistakes，until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something.

　　That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers，and how we learn as adults.Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed in something，it’s probably something you already knew how to do.You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey，not the whole journey.Most of the journey is made up of mistakes，if it’s a good journey.

　　So if you value learning，if you value growing and improving，then you should value mistakes.They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.

　　．Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?

　　A．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.

　　B．Because it’s a natural part in our life.

　　C．Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.

　　A．We should try to avoid making mistakes.

　　B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.

　　C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.

　　D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.

　　3．The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means________.

　　A．a small child learning to walk

　　B．a kindergarten child learning to draw

　　C．a primary pupil learning to read

　　D．a school teenager learning to write

　　．We can learn from the passage that________.

　　A．most of us can really grow from success

　　B．growing and improving are based on mistakes

　　C．we learn to make mistakes by trial and error

　　The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried.Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones.In England，there has been a serious debate about this issue.Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas.They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

　　答案：　B阅读理解2017·赣州市高三年级适应性考试I grew up with a fat dad—450 pounds at his heaviest.Every week he would try a new diet，and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment.

　　After my third­grade year，my dad landed a life­changing job in Manhattan.My mom，my little sister and I had to move away from our hometown，Chicago，and leave my grandmother and her beautiful food behind.

　　Leaving my grandmother was far more frightening than the move to New York City.There would be no more special weekends at my grandmother’s house，the only place I can remember feeling happy，safe and nourished (有营养的)．It was what I desired.In this new city，I felt extremely alone and lost，and I missed my grandmother terribly.

　　My grandmother knew just how I felt—And she knew the cure.Every week，she would send me a card with a $20 bill，a recipe and a list of what to buy at the market.It kept us bonded，and her recipes filled my body and soul.

　　Over the years，I have grown to better understand my father’s struggles with weight and the toll (代价) it took on him and those who love him.I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自负) or selfishness as much as by a deep pain.And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment (or perhaps because of it)，as an adult I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.

　　Today，my father weighs 220 pounds and is a vegan (素食者)．How he got there is a story I hope to share in the coming weeks.More importantly，food is no longer a barrier that keeps us apart，but a bridge that keep us connected.There is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weight­loss victories.And now I am the one regularly sending recipe cards to my father’s house，just as my grandmother did for me.

　　D．He forced his family to eat what he liked.

　　2．The author desired to go to his grandmother’s________.

　　A．to see his father B．for tasty food

　　C．for pocket money

　　D．to avoid his family

　　3．The underlined word “cure” in Paragraph 4 is the nearest in meaning to “________”．

　　A．solution B．concern

　　C．operation D．situation

　　4．The author became a nutrition consultant mainly because________.

　　A．his father often talked with him about dietary theories

　　B．he was determined to change his own daily habits

　　C．he wanted to study the recipes his grandmother had given him

　　D．his childhood experiences gave him too deep an impression

　　D．He often sends recipe cards to his grandmother in return
