"I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year,pushing,pushing,pushing myself as hard as I knew.It doesn't matter how far you might rise.At some point you are bound to fall if you're constantly doing what we do,raising the bar.If you're constantly pushing yourself higher,higher the law of averages,you will at some point fall.And when you do,I want you to know this,remember this:there is no such thing as failure.Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction"as Oprah addressed graduates at Harvard on May 30,2013.

9.Ernest Hemingway was not only a commanding figure in 20th-century literature,but was also a pack rat.He saved even his old passports and used bullfight tickets,leaving behind one of the longest paper trails of any author.
"Ernest Hemingway:Between Two Wars,"which opens on Friday at the Morgan Library & Museum,is the first major museum exhibition devoted to Hemingway and his work.The largest and most interesting section focuses on the'20s,Hemingway's Paris years,and reveals a writer we might have been in danger of forgetting:Hemingway before he became Hemingway.
The exhibition does not fail to include pictures of the bearded,manly,Hem.He's shown posing with some kudu he has just shot in Africa and on the bridge of his beloved fishing boat,the Pilar,with Carlos Gutiérrez,the fisherman who became the model for"The Old Man and the Sea."But the first photo the viewer sees is a big blowup of a handsome,clean-shaven,19-year-old standing on crutches.This is from the summer of 1918,when Hemingway was recovering from wounds at the Red Cross hospital in Milan and trying to turn his wartime experiences into fiction.
The evidence at this exhibition suggests that,in the early days,he often wrote in pencil,mostly in cheap notebooks but sometimes on whatever paper came to hand.The first draft of the short story"Soldier's Home"was written on sheets he appeared to have snatched from a telegraph office.The impression you get is of a young writer seized by inspiration and sometimes barreling ahead without an entirely clear sense of where he is going.
F.Scott Fitzgerald (some of whose letters with Hemingway is also on view) famously urged him to cut the first two chapters of"The Sun Also Rises,"complaining about the"elephantine facetiousness"of the beginning,and Hemingway obliged,getting rid of a clunky opening that now seems almost"meta".In 1929,in a nine-page penciled critique,F(xiàn)itzgerald also suggested numerous revisions for"A Farewell to Arms."Hemingway took some of these,but less graciously,and soon afterward his friendship with Fitzgerald came to an end.
The papers at the Morgan show a Hemingway who is not always sure of himself.There are running lists of stories he kept fiddling with,and there are lists and lists of possible titles,including the 45 he considered for"Farewell"and 47 different endings for the novel.
In display case after display case,you see Hemingway during his Paris years inventing and reinventing himself,discovering as he goes along just what kind of writer he wants to be.In a moving 1925 letter to his parents,who refused to read"In Our Time,"his second story collection,he writes:"You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not just to describe life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive.So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing.You cant do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful."
By the time the Second World War broke out,Hemingway had solidified  into the iconic figure we now remember:Papa.Even J.D.Salinger calls him this.And a blustery,cranky Hemingway appears in 1949 when aboard the Pilar he grabs an old fishing diary and begins scrawling an angry letter to Harold Ross,the editor of The New Yorker,complaining about Alfred Kazin's review of"Across the River and Into the Trees,"not,in truth,a very good book.But,Hemingway,often drinking and depressed,didn't know it,his best work was behind him by then.
66.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined words"a pack rat"(para.1)?D
A.a(chǎn) person who doesn't waste anything             
B.a(chǎn) person who cannot be relied on
C.a(chǎn) person who likes to collect rubbish            
D.a(chǎn) person who enjoys collecting things
67.How many of Hemingway's works are mentioned in this passage?C
A.4             B.5                    C.6                 D.7
68.We can conclude from the Morgan show that sometimes Hemingway was a person.A  
A.unconfident but full of inspirations         
B.stubborn but full of enthusiasm about love
C.casual but full of heroism               
D.bad-tempered but full of strange habits
69.What does the writer truly mean by saying"Hemingway before he became Hemingway"?D
A.Hemingway wrote many masterpieces before he killed himself.
B.Hemingway was once a war correspondent before he became a famous writer.
C.Hemingway devoted all his strengths to writing before he won the Nobel Prize.
D.Hemingway kept exploring the world and adjusting himself before he became a
commanding figure in literature.
70.According to the Morgan show,readers are likely to seeAin Hemingway's works.
①tough men who can't be defeated          
②anti-war fighters
③the dark side of the world as well as its beauty
④love affairs between a man and a woman    
⑤the story of a family business
A.①③B.②④C.①⑤D.③⑤
