One possible version:

Success will be gained after times of failure so long as we are good at drawing lessons from failures or mistakes and stick to what we are doing.That is the message carried in the proverb “Failure is the mother of success”.

For example,when I began to learn English,I was slow and clumsy that I read the words wrong from time to time.My poor pronunciation made myself laughed at by my classmates.But I didn't give up and kept practising reading aloud English every day.And my teacher gave me a helping hand,getting me right whenever I made an error.

In a word,as long as we don't lose heart and keep on trying,we are sure to go through failure and achieve our aims.

One-hundred-and seventh birthdays aren’t usually celebrated for authors who aren’t alive anymore. But Theodor Seuss Geisel---better known as the children’s books author Dr. Seuss ---who came into the world on 2 March, 1904, was an unusual man.

Like generations of children I was raised on his wonderful stories. But when I now read them to my children it’s not just the childhood memories I enjoy. His writing is brilliant and imaginative and flows with a self-confidence as sure as the words of a Shakespeare poem. Readers ride his characteristic rhythm (韵律) with an effortless joy that cannot be matched by any other modern writer:

You have brains in your head

You have feet in your shoes

You can steer yourself any direction you choose

And will you succeed?

Yes indeed, yes indeed!

Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.

Seuss’s brilliant cartoons and clever words make his books a delight for adults but they attract mostly children of course. His stories teach kids moral lessons but in indirect and entertaining ways.

The first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax, written just as the 60s were becoming the 70s. Seuss was ahead of his time, and in this book the dawn of concern for environmental problems are shown as the Lorax “who speaks for the trees” battles against an evil businessman who wants to destroy the forest and make goods “which everyone needs”.

It’s not only a warning of the heavy price of environmental destruction, written well before most people had thought to worry, but it’s also a smart analysis of consumer societies: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” This is of course a moral message, but not of the kind designed to persuade the youngsters into behavior that adults want.

I could go on, but hey, it’s a birthday, and I’m sure you folks have some good toasts to raise for the party…

D. To explain how relevant Seuss’s stories remain today.

3. Why do adults also enjoy Seuss’s books?

C. He writes about adult topics in a way that is understandable to children.

4.When was the book The Lorax written?

Indeed, many failures are experienced in our lives and the effect could be extremely unpleasant. I do have a share of my experience and you might have yours too. As the sayings goes, “Experience is the best teacher.” Many people believe it’s the other way around. Experience, in fact, can be the worst teacher since it takes the first before you learn the lesson.

Often, when people around us try to comfort us that we shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves, we say “sure”, yet we are doing otherwise. We are becoming too hard on ourselves because failure is something that wouldn’t leave your mind quickly. Failure is something that can make you regret spending money, time, and effort but all go down the drain. But it is common everywhere and it usually leads us to success.

“There were once two prison men sitting behind the bars. One saw mud while the other saw stars.” In this story, those two prison men were paying the costs of their actions. However, as they faced their situation, one prisoner was completely defeated by his depression. But the other prisoner held his head up with his hopes and dreams. As you may well notice, failure happens, but people deal with it quite differently.

However, true failure comes in when you react negatively to the situation. True failure is about giving up completely. It is about being unable to recognize that if you look at the midnight skies, the stars are still shinning. See, no matter how disheartening and discouraging your fall was true failure is about not getting up and not moving on. You must accept failure as a great opportunity for you to learn. You will also be able to learn from the failures of other people. But it’s your own failure that will help you meaningfully.

1.The saying “Experience is the best teacher.” in Paragraph 1 means_____.

A. experience is really good at teaching

B. the best teacher usually experiences a lot

C. something valuable can be learned from failure

D. the worst teacher can teach you how to be successful

2.The writer tells us people’s attitudes toward failure by_____.

A. listing some true facts

B. mentioning a story

C. showing some figures

D. blaming the two prison men

3.Which of the following is TRUE about the failure according to the text?

A. We can’t live without failure

B. It is easy to get rid of failure

C. People should try to avoid failure

D. People should treat failure properly

4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. Failure opens the door to learning

B. Experience is interesting and pleasant

C. Success is not easy for us to achieve

D. Everything comes from failure

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

Many people believe that classical music is not relevant to young people today . However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.

Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.

Others say it is more popular than we first imagine . Many young people listen to classical music without realising .It is often used in films and advertisements. For example.a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup . Not many people could have given its name , but millions enjoyed it .

Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.

However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.

A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.

So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments , but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!
