【題目】 Most of us fear failure. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. In fact, the word success comes from the Latin succedere, meaning “to come after.” And what does success usually come after? Failure. It seems that one cannot exist without the other.

Every failure – even the worst ones – helps us learn to do things differently in the future. “Learning from the past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully,” says mountaineer Pete Athans, who has now reached the world’s highest peak (山峰) seven times. Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong – sometimes with terrible results.

Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks without extra oxygen (氧氣). In 2007, while climbing in Nepal, she was in an avalanche ( ). She survived, but two nearby Spanish climbers died. The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is, bad things can still happen. But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.

Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures because our good name depends on success. However, things are slowly changing. In the past ten years, some scientific magazines – mostly in medicine – have published reports of failed experiments. The belief is that the science community can also learn from “negative” results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.

The business world already understands the value of negative results. Eli Lilly and Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn’t work. In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures became one of its biggest successes. In the early 1990s, Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton. It was one of Apple’s biggest failures. However, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, believed the product had potential (潛力) and he began to improve it. In time, this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company’s most successful products.

The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. There is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. One truly cannot exist without the other.

1The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to .

A.show how bad things can become important lessons

B.tell us that it’s possible for anyone to be successful

C.prove how bad things can happen in any situation

D.teach us what not to do when climbing mountains

2The underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.

A.unableB.unsureC.unwillingD.uninterested

3What is the passage mainly about?

A.An attitude towards failure.

B.The experience of success.

C.A difficult way to success.

D.The rewards of failure.

【題目】閱讀短文,按要求回答何題。

You must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right? You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything? Well, it's not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First your eyes check out what's going on, then tell your brain, `and your brain decides how quickly you need to react, and then your muscles go into action. This is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!

The brain weighs just 3 pounds; but is controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ (器官),There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells(細(xì)胞)in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!

Your brain stops growing when you're -18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You' won't be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleep,the brain works for long-term memory establishment(建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human live.

So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.

1Is super computer much more powerful than the brain?

2What can check out what's going on when the glass is about to fall off the table?

3How much does the brain weigh?

4What does the underlined word "That" refer to in Paragraph 2?

5When will your brain stop growing?
