    　　In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The "spider story" once taught Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, who was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went onto spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, 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 conditions right? Were you in top form of yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?

    　　Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. "If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.

    　　The third thing is to bear in mind that failure is a part of life. Learn to "live with yourself" even though you may have failed. Remember, "You can't win them all."

    (1) This passage deals with two sides of failure. In Paragraph 1, the author talks mainly about ________.

    [　　]

    A．the value of failure
    B．how people would fail
    C．famous failures
    D．the cause of failure

    (2) The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems ________.

    [　　]

    A．productive
    B．colorful
    C．sad
    D．deep

    (3) The author doesn't tell us to ________.

    [　　]

    A．think about the cause of your failure

    B．check out whether your goals are right for you

    C．consider failure as a part of life

    D．bear in mind that you will never fail in your life

    (4) We can not conclude from the passage that ________.

    [　　]

    A．Bruce and Edison were successful examples

    B．failure may be regarded as a way towards success

    C．Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce

    D．one may often raise a question whether his goals are worth trying

    答案：A;D;D;C

    Nelson Mandela

    　　Nelson Mandela is one of the great political leaders of our time．His lifelong efforts to the fight against racial(种族)oppression(压迫)in his country won him the admiration(钦慕)of millions worldwide, as well as the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize．As the leader of South Africa’s anti-partheid(反种族隔离)movement, Mandela was a key player in helping to move his country toward multiracial government(多民族政府)and majority rule．

    　　Mandela’s long, hard struggle is a victory of dignity(尊严)and hope．He’s a man of true courage．If determination and patience were considered talents, Mandela would win hands down in any sort of competition．

    　　accomplishments(成就)& fame(名誉)

    　　Nelson Mandela’s greatest accomplishments were his role in ending apartheid, and becoming South Africa’s first elected black president．He has been the recipient(收件人)of dozens upon dozens of awards, prizes and honors from countless associations and organizations, but perhaps none more prestigious(声望很高)than the Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with former South African President Frederik W．de Klerk, in 1993．

    　　He has been awarded several other major peace prizes, such as the UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)Peace Prize in 1991(also shared with F．W．de Klerk); the Africa Peace Award in 1995 and the International Gandhi Peace Prize in 2002．

    　　Mr．Mandela also received dozens of honorary degrees(名誉学位)from universities the world over, including the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Glasgow, London, Nottingham, and Oxford, as well as an Honorary Doctorate from the Sorbonne University in Paris(all in July 1996), and Harvard Business School’s Statesman of the Year Award in 1995－to name but a few．He has also been presented(赠送)with the key to cities such as Rome, Rio de Janeiro, London, Dublin, and Sydney, Australia(where he became the first person ever to receive the Freedom of that city)．In July of 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States highest civilian(公民)award．

    　　Model

    　　There’s something admirable about having been a leader fighting for a people’s freedom and equality in an unjust society．Mandela has become a worldwide symbol(楷模)of the struggle of the oppressed(被压迫者)over the oppressor．He has been celebrated in song by artists the world over, in many different languages．One entitled “Nelson Mandela”was recorded by British 2-Tone group The Special A．K．A(formerly The Specials); making the top 10 in the UK and a few other European nations in 1984．

    　　Personal style

    　　As a president, Mandela sported the typical garb(服饰)of high-ranking government officials： expensive, well-tailored(缝制精致的)suits．Now retired(退役)from public life, Mandela the elder statesman dresses in an ordinary way．

    　　He attends many activities, often where he is the guest of honor, in bright, colorfully patterned(典型的)traditional African robes(长袍)or shirts all the better for getting down when the music begins．

    (1)

    Mandel was not only admired(钦慕)for his long fight against ________but also for ________．

    (2)

    How many peaceful prize has Mandela got?He has got________ in 1991, ________in 1995 and ________ in 2002．

    (3)

    Mandela is a man full of ________and his greatest success was to play a part in getting rid of ________ and to be elected ________．

    　　Tony Blair, 49, is seen by some as George Bush’s foreign minister, or even his pet dog．He has little in 　　15　　 with Bush．While Bush is 　　16　　 for his mispronunciation and verbal slips(口误), Blair is regarded as one of the better international speakers of the 　　17　　．He ‘d never talk about his personal life as 　　18　　 as Bush does．He’s leading one of the great old working class parties of Europe, the Labour Party, whose 　　19　　 are very different from Bush’s．But now his political career depends on whether the war can be won 　　20　　 and with few casualties(伤亡)on both sides－and that depends largely on the US president．

    　 We all know that certain oils are healthier than others. but your oil health goes beyond just the type．The health of your oil can be related to how you use it too．

    　 Each type of oil has what is called a“smoke point. ”The smoke point is the specific temperature at which the oil starts to break down, or in more technical terms, its molecular structure begins to change. These molecular changes result in； changes in flavor, as well as W ww.k s 5u.com changes in nutritional value，specifically，the nutritional value of the oil starts to reduce；changing what once may have been considered an especially healthy oil，like Olive，into one that is unhealthy．

    　　 The higher an oil’s smoke point is，the higher the temperature of the oil can be．As a result, each type of oil should be used for the cooking method that is most appropriate to its individual smoke point and heat tolerance. Here is a quick guide for the next time you reach for your favorite oil．]
