Question

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why．

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things． It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing． If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”． Look around you． With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．

Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning． Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb． When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．

Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success． Why?

Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded． Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer．

But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake． Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again．

We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem． Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate （分配） these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again． Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career．

There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”

So go forth and make mistakes． And learn． And grow． And prosper（成功）．

試題分析：本文講述了在學(xué)習(xí)過程中犯錯的意義和價值，錯誤意味著我們嘗試了新鮮事物，意味著我們排除了另外一種影響我們成功的因素。但是同時我們也要考慮犯錯的后果。

1.D 推理題。根據(jù)第二段前4行First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things． It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing． If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”說明嘗試的重要性，只有嘗試了新鮮的事物，我們才有成功的希望。故D正確。

2.B 推理題。根據(jù)本句Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded． Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer．可知影響我們成功有很多的因素，你每失敗一次，就排除掉了其中的一個，那么你就離成功更近一步。故該詞是指去除，移除。故B正確。

3.C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake．說明我們也要考慮所犯錯誤的后果。故C項正確。

4.C 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”可知不犯錯誤，說明我們沒有努力嘗試。犯了錯誤，我們才真正學(xué)到知識。故C項正確。

考點：考查人生哲理類短文閱讀

點評：本文講述了在學(xué)習(xí)過程中犯錯的意義和價值。本文要求考生讀懂文章中的每個句子的意思還要推理它們之間的關(guān)系，結(jié)合自己的生活常識和經(jīng)驗，再通過邏輯推理和判斷，理解文章的言外之意，從而揭示文章的深層涵義。任何一篇文章都有其特定的寫作目的，讀者應(yīng)當(dāng)知道如何去做或按照某種方式傳遞思考問題。推理判斷題的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理時我們務(wù)必要忠于原文，在文章中尋找并確定可推論的依據(jù)，即：已知部分－推論的前提，從中推測出未知部分－推理的結(jié)論，切忌妄加評論，把自己的觀點當(dāng)成作者的觀點。
