4.Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child’s hastily making table as ―Perfect! even though it couldn’t stand on uneven legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time —and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honor roll or the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort prize or say, ―It doesn’t matter because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment —and be helped to master it.Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you can learn to use it. Step one is to ask ―Why did I fail? Control the natural impulse to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. Second, is the goal you’re to reach the right one? Think about this question. ―If you dosucceed in this, where will it get me? This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyhow. The third thing to keep in mind about failure is that it’s part of life. Learn to ―live with yourself even though you may have failed. Remember, ―You can’t win themall.(1) The main idea of this passage is ().A、why people are afraid of failureB、the trouble with failure prevention methodsC、how to deal with failureD、both A and C(2) According to the passage, which of the following is not true?A、Most parents think failure may hurt their children.B、Most parents do not want their children know they have failed.C、A mother describes her child’s work ―perfect because she didn’t want to hurt him.D、If a child fails a subject, he should blame his teacher.(3) According to the writer, ().A、parents should tell their children to think nothing of not being chosen into a baseball teamB、children should be encouraged to get rid of disappointment all by themselvesC、parents should judge what their children have done as it isD、children should learn to enjoy a game that they won’t win(4) The last paragraph tells us ().A、there are three methods to deal with failureB、there are some methods to deal with failureC、failure is not enjoyableD、failure is part of life(5) ―Live with yourself in the last line may mean ().A、to tolerate yourself when you failB、to face failures all by yourselfC、to live in a house aloneD、to support yourself when you fail

  • 第2题:

    A new scheme for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities in part of Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.
    Until now the Country Council has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, provided the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
    The new scheme is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.
    Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a council official has said the cost of parents should be less than $6.50 a tenn.
    They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new scheme.
    Taking part in the Council's trial schemes are children who__________.

    A.living in Milton and go to Impington school
    B.living in Impington and go to Milton school
    C.living in Milton and go to Milton school

    Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
    In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
    In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
    But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
    In a residential area, you can see ____________.

    A.rows of houses, schools and shops
    B.many offices and factories
    C.a lot of factories and farms
    D.many houses with offices and factories

  • 第6题:

    We first think of the traditional or nuclear family.This is a two-generation family,the father and the mother and their own children.Most couples wanted to have four children,two boys,two girls.
    Some nuclear families,however,may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them,that is three generations.This kind of family with grandparents,parents,and grandchildren is called an extended family.This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century,but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter.This is more possible now that American homes have become larger.What is interesting,however,is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families,this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family,with just two generations again living together,a grandparent and parents,with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits.
    Now,the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family.In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children.As I said,this can be the result of the husband's death,of an unmarried mother,of a separation or divorce.There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children,for any of the same reasons.A motherless family may also be fatherless,but still a family with one adult.This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.
    One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common.A single parent with one or more children will marry again.Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent.Together they will start what is called a blended family,which blends together or combines the children from two other families.

    Who usually looks after the children in a both motherless and fatherless family in America?

    A.The children's aun
    B.The children's nursery or schoo
    C.The children's grandmothe
    D.The children's neighbou

    答案:C
    解析:
    第二自然段后半部分写到:“A motherless family may also be fatherless,but still a family with one adult.This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter’s children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.”由此可见,本题选C。

  • 第7题:

    Advertising to Children (1) Not only are they easily swayed by advertising, they are also persuasive in encouraging their parents to buy a product. If a child wants something in their kid's locker, they will prod and annoy their parents until they get what they want.(2)All it takes is a little suggestion from a single advertisement to send them on their way. (3) In a campaign entitled "Kids are the Star", its employees were encouraged to pay special attention to children and to make sure they had a positive experience while eating at its restaurants. The reason for this, naturally, was not that the McDonald's corporation cared deeply about the well-being of children everywhere, but that the pester-power that children have is extraordinarily effective at bringing their parents back for more visits. The way that advertisers target children is simple big, bright lights, happy people and animated characters are all that is needed to encourage children to think a certain product is something they want. (4)They do not realize that Ronald McDonald is just a guy in a Costum and make-up, and that behind the counter of every McDonald's is a bunch of kids working in uncomfortable conditions for low pay. This poses a real moral dilemma for those who make the advertising decisions, or at least it should. (5)How do you say no to an opportunity to reach such a wide audience of children, who act as advertisers themselves when they encourage other children and their parents to buy a particular product? 1.()

    • A、While manipulating children into believing lies, especially encouraging them to eat unhealthy foods, is obviously bad, the purpose of business is to make money
    • B、The superficial reactions children get from eating McDonald's last about as long as they are at the place
    • C、McDonald's at one stage advised employees to specifically target children
    • D、Children are a prime target for advertisers and salesmen across the world
    • E、Anyone who has seen a child pester its parents knows the lengths children can go to
    • F、This is because children are naive; they genuinely believe what an advertiser tells them

    A: concern
    B: area
    C: theme
    D: celebration

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题的考点是固定搭配。此处表达的意思是“与环境相关的”,related to为固定搭配,意为“与……有关”。


    从文章第一句可以看出,文章的重点,即世界卫生组织今年“世界卫生日”的主题,是创建健康的环境。


    家庭、学校和社区应该是最安全的“地方”,可是,对儿童健康的最大威胁就存在于这些本该是最安全的地方。应选“地方”,而不是“机会”、“时间”或“岗位”。此句中的 “lurk”一词为不及物动词,意为“潜藏,潜在”。


    本题的考点是与up搭配的词组的区分。此句的意思应该是“每个孩子都具有在健康家庭、学校和社区成长的权利”。grow up意为“成长,长大”,stay up意为“醒着不睡”,pick up意为“好转,改善;重新开始”,get up意为“站起;起床”。


    此句谈及的是“我们的孩子们”,即“他们”。他们的未来取决于他们现在是否能享有良好的健康。


    短语to have something in one's hand表示“掌握某事”。此句的意思是“他们的未来掌握在我们手中”。


    本题的考点是名词risk的固定搭配。此句中“更加有效地工作”的目的应当是“减少我们的孩子们所面临的来自环境的危险”,“减少”用reduce。 run the risk ( of doing something)意为“冒自身危险做某事”;take a risk/risks意为“冒险做可能失败、有危险等的事”;二者都为固定词组。regard意为“注视;将某人(某事物)视为;留意”。


    从上一句可以看出,此处应填“面临”一词。face做动词,可以有“面对,面向、对付,应付、面临”等意思。


    从前后文可以看出,此处应填“水”这个词。drinking water意为“饮用水”。


    根据空白处前面的逗号可以看,此处应填一个能引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词来代替events一词。


    本题的考点是动词take的固定搭配。take place是固定搭配,意思是“发生”。take shape意为“成形;变得更有条理”,take orders from sb.意为“受命于某人,按某人之命做”。


    从下一句可以看到,此处应选“burden”一词。短语disease burden的意思是“病症负担”。bear the burden是常用搭配。另外,后一句中的the total burden of disease也是一个值得注意的提示。


    文章谈的是环境因素所造成的危害,所以此处应选“factors”一词。


    从本句的时态——现在完成时可以推断全句的意思,即“自从1950年以来,每年的 4月7日都庆祝世界卫生日”。


    前一句提到,“世界卫生组织每年都选择一个主题……”,此空白后面的短语首字母大写,显然代表主题,故应选“theme”。

    问答题
    练习1  Parents in China are always trying to help their children, even to make the most important decision for them, regardless of what the children really want, because parents believe it’s all for the benefit of their children. This has led to the result that the children’s growth and education tend to give way to their parents’ wishes. Once the parents decide to sign up an after school class for their children in order to increase their chance of being admitted to a good school, they will stick on their decision, even their children have no interest in it at all. In America, however, parents tend to respect their children, especially when making decisions. Perhaps it is commendable that Chinese parents lay much importance on education, but Chinese parents still need to keep the balance between the parents and children in the perspective of education as the American parents do.

    正确答案: 在中国,父母总是试图帮助他们的孩子,甚至为他们做重要的决定,而不管孩子想要什么,因为父母相信这样做是为了孩子好。结果,孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的愿望。一旦父母决定为他们的孩子报名参加一个课外班,以增加他们被好学校录取的机会,他们会坚持自己的决定,即使他们的孩子根本不感兴趣。然而在美国,父母往往尊重孩子的意见,尤其是在做决定的时候。也许中国父母非常重视教育是值得称赞的。但是,他们应该向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与孩子之间的关系。
    解析:
    本题考查的翻译要点有:①regardless of,即不管某种情况;②for the benefit of sb意为“为了某人好”;③give way to表示“屈从于”;④lay much importance on意为“非常重视”;⑤keep the balance between…and…意为“保持……与……之间的平衡”;⑥in the perspective of表示“在……方面,涉及……”。
