The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother,run as fast as he could,again, still with a smile on his face,as if nothing had happened. At that moment, I thought to myself,"Why aren't most adults this way?" Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrssed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure（失败）. However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure; instead, they treat it as a learning experience.They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected"falling down" with the word"failure".What's more, they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that i's not wrong to do so.In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic. I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence（坚持不懈）and the manner in which he did. 26. What did the little boy do when he fell down? A. He cried and lay on the grass. B. He asked his mother for help. C. He got up and went on running. D.He got up and stood there crying. 27.In the wrier's opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as? A.A failure. B.A joke. C.An interesting game. D. A learning experience. 28.In the writer's opinion, why can't many adults succeed? A. Because they are afraid of being embarrssed. B.Because they can't find a good excuse. C. Because once they fail, they won't attempt again. D. Because they don't allow themselves to make mistakes. 29.The underlined word "attempt" in Paragraph 2 means ___. A. 尝试 B.放弃 C.面对 D.怀疑 30. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Failure is the mother of success. C. All roads lead to Rome. D.Each coin has two sides. B At my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there.I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so.I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost anyone elsein my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to sixth grade, everyone would be surprised by me. But actually, they weren't. When I arrived at my new class,I couldn't wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there was always someone else who could do better. My grades began to suffer. More talented girls often sang solo（独唱）.I believed I wasn't smart.I believed I wasn't talented. I believed I was a failure. Over the next two years,I had to work very hard.Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and efforts.Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything. I haven't realized until recently that I really don't have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me. No one is perfect.There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are about seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that's really okay. 31. What does the underlined phrase "a prodigy" probably mean? A. A smart kid. B.A crazy fan. C.A common child.D.A lazy girl. 32. When the writer was at the new class,_______ A. she lost her interest in music B. she had difficulty in learning C. she surprised everyone in solos D.she got on badly with her classmates 33.What happened to the writer during the next two years? A. She won many prizes without any efforts. B. She found the best way to become perfect. C. She gave up trying because of the low scores. D. She failed to be perfect though she worked hard. 34.What has the writer realized recently? A.There is no success without effort. B.Being talented is the key to success. C.Don't expect too much of yourself. D.It's not necessary to care about the result. 35.Which would be the best title of this passage? A. No one is perfect B. My past life as a young girl C.Hard work doesn't work D.What to do when you're not perfect C. I got into the teaching job by chance.When I was in 9th grade,my math teacher asked me to teach a class for a few students who were having difficulties with math.And believe me, I really enjoyed teaching that class and I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my "students",and was happy to answer the creative questions they asked. After my graduation， I worked as a software（软件）developer for a few years.But I realized that no job could provide me with the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching. I felt nervous on my first day of teaching. But now I can say that giving lessons was one of the best experiences of my life∶ I was a Computer Science major（专业），but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my field. Every morning I would feel energetic and excited thinking about the class and the bright faces that would be there to greet me,"Good morning, Madam." To me, each day was a new beginning, with new feelings and new experiences.I loved to open their young minds and read their curious（好奇的）faces while they tried to deal with difficult topics.It was very wonderful to motivate（激励）them to take part in the class， think critically （批判地），question and also respect others' views. Although the students didn't always feel like it was easy,it was very exciting to prove to them that they could really learn anything. That is why Iloved to teach. 36.

B.Some of the students showed no interest in difficult points. C.Every student was cared, understood and respected in the writer's classes. 40.What can be the best title of the passage? A.
