　　s a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

　　Maybe it was the strange

　　36

　　things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that

　　37

　　me so much. There was never total

　　38

　　, but a streetlight or passing car lights

　　39

　　clothes hung over a chair take on the

　　40

　　of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my

　　41

　　, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no

　　42

　　. A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My

　　43

　　would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would

　　44

　　very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

　　Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost,

　　45

　　on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home―that was no

　　46

　　. After school,

　　47

　　, when all the buses were

　　48

　　up along the street, I was afraid that I’d get on the wrong one and be taken to some

　　49

　　neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t

　　50

　　the leaders out of my sight.

　　Perhaps one of the worst fears

　　51

　　all I had as a child was that of not being liked or

　　52

　　by others. Being popular was so important to me

　　53

　　, and the fear of not being liked was a

　　54

　　one.

　　One of the processes (过程) of growing up is being able to

　　55

　　and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

　　A

　　When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like it’s the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is.

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

　　And that’s only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that 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 light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.

　　Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, 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 right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes 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 at 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 was 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.

　　6. 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.

　　D. Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.

　　7. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?

　　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.

　　8. 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

　　9. 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

　　D. we read about something and know how to do it right away

　　Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.

　　“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You don’t have any luggage, right?”

　　“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”

　　“That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”

　　“Thanks.”

　　Is Brian a criminal（犯罪）? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.

　　Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone, But if you have very little money, can be flexible（灵活的）about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!

　　52 Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?

　　A. Because they were the uniform for air couriers,

　　B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.

　　C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.

　　D. because he did not have any luggage with him.

　　53 An air courier is a person who

　　A. manages a business company in foreign countries

　　B. organizes international flights for tourists

　　C. travels around the world with cheap tickets

　　D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries

　　54 Businesses choose the air-courier service because

　　A. it costs less

　　B. it is flexible

　　C. it saves time

　　D. it grows fast

　　55 One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he

　　A. cannot decide when and where to travel

　　B. cannot take any luggage with him

　　C. has to wear two pairs of jeans

　　D. saves little money from the travel

　　56 The author of the text mainly

　　A. describes the activities of a law-breaker

　　B. suggests an ideal way to travel

　　C. argues against the air-courier travel

　　D. tells us about a developing business
