A group of swans （天鹅）flew down to a beach where a crow（乌鸦）was jumping around. The crow watched t     with disdain（鄙视）.
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “ All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s      (超出) you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles,        (表演) other flying tricks, and then came down and looked at the swan        (自豪地).
Now it was the swan’s       . He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments（评价）about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was        but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling       the water.
The swan pretended（假装）not to notice, and said, “Why do you  k     touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No, ” said the crow. He knew he had       the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! I   you don’t help me , I’ll lose my life……”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.

In one way, it may be thought that failure is a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.

The “spider story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web（网）. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(电灯泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.

So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?

Second, is the goal you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be. Think about this question: If I am successful in this, where will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.

The third thing to remember about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself!” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t live with them all.”

1.Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that ___________.
