Sometimes life trips you up，but knowing how to approach failure can be the first step to success. When author J. K. Bowling addressed the graduating class at Harvard last June，she didn't focus on success. Instead，she spoke about failure. She related a story about a young woman who gave up her dream of writing novels to study something more practical. However，she ended up as an unemployed single mom. But during this hard time，she realized she still had a wonderful daughter，an old typewriter，and an idea that would become the foundation for rebuilding her life.“Perhaps you've heard of Harry Pottery You might never fail on the scale I did，” Bowling told the audience.“But it is impossible to live without failing at something，unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all. You will never truly know yourself , or the strength of your relationships，until both have been tested by hardships. Such knowledge is a true gift， for it is painfully won，and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.”
Lots of Americans are tasting failure for the first time now and immediately trying to spit it out. Whether it's unemployment, or the evaporation(消失)of hard-earned savings, the have-it- all generation suddenly lose everything they own. But in the bitterness that accompanies hardships are lessons worth savoring-and，if you look hard enough，sweet opportunity.
Next，you'll learn how the brain responds to failure and how it can be reprogrammed for success using some simple tricks. You'll also find advice from a successful entrepreneur(企业家)who claims that times like these are actually among the best for launching dreams. But most valuable，you'll meet some ordinary people who were in some tough situations. A few cheered up; others got depressed. But even though their stories are quite different，the outcomes are the same. They all bounced back. And you can too.
As Bowling herself would admit, it doesn't take a wizard(奇才)to do it.

Secret codes（密码）keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years.1.Code breaking never lags（落后）far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography.2.For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 3.You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “135520135.”A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book.4.For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”5.However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. |
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. |
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. |
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. |
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. |
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. |
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. |

It seems that no one can live a happy life without friendship. While a great number of people expect others to be their friends, they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always depend on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better.

Last Sunday morning, when I was having a walk in the park near my home, I came across a crew made a new film with one of my favorite actor. I didn’t have my camera with me at that time, but I rushed back home to get. Unfortunately, by the time I got back, they have finished the scene and the actor couldn’t be seen everywhere. I was really disappointing and about to leave when he walked out a building. He was right there in the front of me! I couldn’t believe my luck-not only did I had my photo taken with him, but he signed his name on my shirt!
