Only by overcoming fear of failure can we achieve success in life. Here are some tips on how
to remove fear and focus on success.
Understand that at times you make mistakes. ____36____ Before any of us learned how to
walk, we crawled. We got up, fell down and got up again. We continued the process until we could
walk expertly.
____37____ Instead, view it as a stepping stone. Make certain that you learn from failure and
then apply what you've learned to future situations. Refuse to consider failure a character weakness. Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success.
Remember that failure has produced many successes. ____38____ Albert Einstein's teacher
told him to quit school and commented, “Einstein, you will never amount to anything!”Beethoven's music teacher said he was hopeless to become a composer(作曲家). Henry Ford's first two car companies failed.
Appreciate the benefits of failure. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “All life is an experiment. The
more experiments you try, the better you make.”It's hardly possible for someone to
achieve
success for the first time he tries. ____39____
Believe in yourself. Rather than give up when things don't work out, take it as an opportunity to build perseverance(坚持不懈). Remind yourself how many failures became
successful because they wouldn't give up. ____40____
A.Don't take failure personally.
B.Work hard and try to avoid failure.
C.Realize that you are human and humans make mistakes.
D.Believe that you've got what it takes to work through the difficult times.
E.Making the same mistake again can lead to the failure in your future work.
F.Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful.
G.In other words, your chances of getting things right on the first try are slim(渺小的) to none.
36. ______ 37. ______ 38. ______ 39. ______ 40. ______

Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary, see grammar in action and develop your understanding of a language. ____36____
word

For beginners, I would recommend(推荐) starting with something short and simple. Avoid
the classic for now —they often use very old English words and can involve
complex(复杂的)
themes. Children's books are a great place to start. ____37____ Dr Seuss writes his books in
rhyme(押韵) and they are very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely
to finish the book and want to read more.
____38____ The book isn't too long and if you've seen the film it may be easier to follow.
I am David is a good read.If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm's Revolting Rhymes?
If you are not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl's
Mr Men Little
and like one from Roger Hargreaves's ____39____ Or, try a very short book —
Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some
more basic vocabulary.
My final piece of advice would be to read something that interests you. Look at the short
summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you would enjoy.
____40____ This was, you're more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a headache.
A.Dr Seuss's books are guaranteed(保证) to make you laugh.
B.The key to success is choosing the right book for you.
C.Reading can bring you a lot of fun as well as knowledge.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.For more advanced learners, you could try D.
E.Think about the type that you enjoy in your own language and find one of that type in English.
F.How much you can understand a book depends on your vocabulary.

G.This book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in rhyme.

Tips to Get Your Kids Reading
nd is Read Across America Day. ____36____ Here 2are 4 tips to get your family March
excited about reading.
Start a family book club.
Choose a book suitable for your whole family, and set guidelines(指导方针) about how many
chapters a week you'll read. Then, choose a date to have a favorite family meal, and share what
you liked and disliked about the book. ____37____
Pick a family-centered book and read a few chapters aloud each evening.
Make popcorn or hot coca and get comfortable. ____38____ This is another good opportunity to join your kids and make reading magical and exciting —particularly if you have
kids who aren't too fond of reading.
____39____
Surprise your kids one day and dress up yourself like one of their favorite book characters.
Serve a meal based on something relevant(有关的) to this character and make the conversation
about all things literary(文学的) Be sure to bring your kids to the local library that day, too, so that
they can borrow a new book or two.
Read in a new place.

____40____ Go to the park and read in the sun. Head to your local bookstore and let the
kids get comfortable in the children's section. And maybe go to a coffee shop and let them get a
hot cocoa and a donut(甜甜圈) while they are reading. By going to new places to read, kids will
get into the habit of having a good book with them whenever they leave the house. A.Books really come alive when read aloud.
B.Dress up like a favorite book character.
C.But we can make this special day last longer than just one day.
D.Make your kids develop good reading habits.
E.Head out of the house to do some reading often.
F.Many people prefer to read books quietly in the library.
G.This created a good way for parents to connect with their kids through reading.
36. ______ 37. ______ 38. ______ 39. ______ 40. ______

If tests can make students nervous, anxious and even scared(害怕的), shouldn't schools just
get rid of them? ____36____ Teachers and schools give students tests for very important reasons.
____37____ Giving a test is a way for a teacher to see which students are learning the skills
and knowledge they should be learning and which ones are having troubles. Depending on how
kids do on the test, the teacher will know if he or she must go back over some things, or if it's
okay to keep moving forward.
To see how well your school is teaching you. All parents want their kids to finally graduate
word

with the ability to earn a living. ____38____ And one way to do this is to have them take tests.
To Assign(指定) grades. ____39____ Besides your homework, tests are one of the best ways
for you to show the teacher that you've really learned what's being taught, and for the teacher
to figure out what grade you should get. Grades are also a way to show your parents how you're
doing in school.
To keep you motivated(有积极性的). Admit it: you work harder if you know someone is
checking up on your work. For example, if your mom tells you to clean your room but you know
she will never go in and check, then you might not do it, right? ____40____ Because you know
that you'll eventually(最后) have to take a test on the material and you might be more likely to
give it that extra effort and make sure you know everything you're supposed to know.
A.To see if you're learning.
B.To see if you are totally prepared.

So when Mardy McGarry wanted to build a playground for kids with special needs, she knew it wouldn't take long to create interest in the project. But she never expected that a third of the town people would join in it. __1__. “A lot of learning comes through play，”says McGarry, a special education teacher for 28 years. She'd seen the wood chips and sand of traditional playgrounds stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks. When a piece of land became available, the city council agreed to choose a part for a playground. __2__ She asked many kids for their wish list. She also asked experts for help. And she brought on board her friend Sue Mayer, whose eight-year-old son, Sam, has a serious disease. Her Kiwanis Club chapter came through with $7,000, and that's when the grassroots movement really got started. One woman gave $25,000 and had her company donate the same amount. __3__ There were silent auctions (拍卖) and T-shirt sales. The local Pieper Family Foundation offered to donate half of the remaining $170,000 balance if McGarry could raise the rest. The $450,000 covered materials, but the actual construction would cost an additional $900,000. Not a choice. But the community could build it. On September 16, 2008, the first day of construction, they came. Two women heard about the project on the radio on the way to work and took the day off to help. __4__ Ten-year-olds sanded surfaces. Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular destinations in Ozaukee County, There's a giant pirate ship, a sandbox, monkey bars, swings and so on. __5__ It's exactly what McGarry wanted. People used to ask why she wanted to build a playground just for children with disabilities. “They didn't get it. It's only when you build a playground for children with disabilities that you build one for all children.” she said. A．Soon smaller businesses were helping.

Morning must-haves Researchers at Harvard Medical School discovered that people who took daily breakfast were a third less likely to become obese (肥胖的) than those who skipped this meal. To enjoy the most benefits, the researchers recommended eating whole-grain foods for breakfast as they are rich in fiber. __2__. Main meal wisdom If you need to consume meat, choose fish instead of red meat. Studies have linked high consumption of red meat with cancers such as breast and colorectal cancer as well as heart disease mainly because red meat is very high in saturated (饱和的) fats. __3__. Food preparation __4__. As such, cooking methods such as steaming, baking, grilling, boiling or stir-frying are advised. __5__ Some people like to eat a large meal after a hard day's work. However, large meals late at night can cause indigestion that influences sleep. So it is a very good idea to have a low-calorie fiber drink just before leaving the office. It is also not a good idea to regularly have a late-night meal as this could overburden the digestive system. Remember, minor changes in our eating habits can lead to major changes in our health. A．Light nights B．Fewer night snacks C．Fish, in contrast, contains more heart-healthy fats D．Drinking bean milk supplies the body with plant protein E．Experts always suggest preparing food with as little oil as possible F．But most of us fail to obtain adequate nutrients (营养) due to our troubled lifestyles

2017年高考英语阅读专练（七选五） 1. Brain Transplants Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years. 1 If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc. The idea that a human brain could be transplanted may come from Frankenstein. In 1999, an experiment turned a bear into a dolphin. 2 They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They had a series of useful information, which was saved into a button-sized chip (芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain. 3 It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin. Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The experiment had an entire transplant of the memory area. 4 The transplant was performed from a dog named Genius to a dog named Idiot. Genius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory. 5 When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Genius possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But Genius gave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all. A. The experiment was a complete success. B. It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. C. Then it was released by means of electric power. D. Different images have different meanings in the memory area. E. Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced. F. Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain. G. One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer. 2. W. Lloyd Jerome’s Dental Surgery If you walk into W.Lloyd Jerome’s dental surgery in Glasgow,

中考英语阅读七选五试题解题技巧 《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述为“主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。” 七选五其实跟传统题型完形填空有相似之处，完形填空空出的是词，而七选五空出的是句子，但是他们的考察方式都是一样的，只要考生选择的答案能够使行文连贯，符合英文的语法以及习惯表达就行，因此，这两类题型在做题方法上有共通之处。另外，从该题型给出的选项中我们可以发现一些特点：该题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。另外两个多余的干扰项也可以通过这三个特点来排除，例如主旨概括句要么过于宽泛要么以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构，注释性句子与上文脱节等。根据这些，我们总结一些关于七选五的做题方法供大家参考。 1，先看选项。跟完形填空不一样，七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。 2，再看空前空后。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。
3，注意代词或定冠词。在做这类题目的时候，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。 4，注意一些特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。 5，注意一些连词。如一些表示转折的连词，but，however，yet，though，never the less等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如and，also，as well as，neither nor，either or，not only...but also，on one hand....on the other hand等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。
