Question

【題目】C

So many of us expect everything we do to be successful. We look forward to success to show us our value or to be the top of the group wherever we are. How many times in our schooling did we hope for a high mark? We want it and then feel like a failure when we don’t achieve what we want. Even when we succeed we still pass that and go onto the next success and then the next. We are not often taught how to face failures.

For me, failure taught me more than success did. Success is of the moment and temporary(暫時的) but failure means we have ever done. It makes me stop and think. It opened my eyes and brain to different possibilities. Failure is just a choice in redoing not in giving up. Experiencing failure，I looked deeper and further.

I have a grandson who plays hockey(曲棍球) and as all players do, he went through a slump. So I saw he was unhappy with himself. Then I said to him, ＂Why don’t you think of it differently rather than being unhappy?＂ And I asked, ＂Scoring is your goal, right?＂ He answered, ＂Of course.＂ ＂Why aren’t you scoring now? Do you need a readjustment(重新調(diào)整)?＂All of a sudden he calmed down — he was thinking of what I had just said. So in the next game I saw him trying different things to do better. Later he started scoring. Now when something is wrong, he takes the time to think it over rather than just keeping the ＂failure＂ mode(方式).

Look at failure differently. Failure is what gives us power to try a different way of doing things.

It teaches us to rethink, redo, and then success will come about. Don’t give up but learn to use a different way.

【解析】

【文章大意】每個人都希望自己成功，成功可以展示自己的價值所在。即使成功了，也會向著下一個更高的目標(biāo)邁進(jìn)。作者認(rèn)為經(jīng)歷失敗，要以不同的方式去反思，重新開始，而不是放棄，自暴自棄。作者從失敗中學(xué)到了更多的東西。作者建議我們要以不同的方式去看待失敗，失敗是成功之母，在失敗中去不斷地反思，吸取教訓(xùn)，只有這樣才能獲取更大的成功。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子＂Even when we succeed we still pass that and go onto the next success and then the next.＂可知，即使我們成功了，也會向著下一個更高的目標(biāo)邁進(jìn)，答案為C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子＂For me, failure taught me more than success did.＂對我來說，失敗比成功教給我更多的東西，也就是作者從失敗中學(xué)到了更多的東西。答案為C。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文中的句子＂he went through a slump. So I saw he was unhappy with himself.＂通過我看到他對自己感到不滿可以看出，他經(jīng)歷了一個低迷期。＂因此答案為D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)文中的句子＂Why don’t you think of it differently rather than being unhappy?＂ Do you need a readjustment(重新調(diào)整)?＂All of a sudden he calmed down — he was thinking of what I had just said. So in the next game I saw him trying different things to do better.可知，作者的孫子在不斷地反思自己的錯誤，調(diào)整自己，而不是一味地不開心，在以后的比賽中表現(xiàn)得很出色。故答案為B。

【5】標(biāo)題歸納題。結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要講述了要正確面對失敗，要從失敗中吸取教訓(xùn)，獲得經(jīng)驗(yàn)，從而取得成功，故B選項作為文章的標(biāo)題最合適。
