40、Passage 1 Failure: We all avoid it, and most of us fear it. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. Indeed, the word success comes from the Latin succedere, meaning"to come after." And what does success usually come after? Failure. It seems that one cannot exist without the other. Every failure-even the worst ones-helps us learn to do things differently in the future. "I leamed how not to climb the first four times I tried to summit Everest," says mountaineer Pete Athans, who has now reached the world's highest peak seven times. "Failure gives you a chance to refine your approach. You're taking risks more and more intelligently. "In Athans' case, his setback taught him that it was important to choose a less challenging route for hi first climb up Everest. Learning from past mistakes and making changes helped him to reach the top successfully. Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong-sometimes with disastrous results. Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to summit all 14 of the world's 8.000-meter peaks without extra oxygen. In 2007, while climbing in Nepal, she was in an avalanche. Luckily, she survived, but two Spanish climbers died. The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter bow prepared a person is, bad things can still happen. The events of that day troubled her deeply, but in time, Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from the experience and move on. "I realized that I couldn't make the tragedy unhappen,"she says, "and I couldn't stop climbing-this is my life." Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often reluctant to admit failure because our professional reputations depend on success. However, things are slowly changing notably in the fields of business and science. In the past decade, for instance, some scientific journals--mostly in medicine and conservation-have published reports of failed experiments. The belief is that the science community can also learn from "negative "results and that this can eventually lead to positive outcomes. In many ways, the business world already understands the value of negative results. To encourage entrepreneurship, the Netherlands-based ABN AMRO bank started an Institute of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn't in banking. Similarly. Eli Lilly, the pharmaceutical corporation, has"R&D outcome celebrations"-failure parties-to study data about drugs that don't work. (Almost 90 percent of all drug trials fail, and the drugs cannot be sold.) In fact, one of the business world's most famous failures eventually became one of its biggest successes. In the early 1990s, Apple Corporation created a handheld device called the Apple Newton. The product, though unique at the time, was expensive and heavy, moreover, some of its most important features didn't work properly. Consequently, it became one of Apple's biggest failures, and in 1998, the company stopped selling it. However, Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, believed the product had potential and he began to explore ways of improving it In time, this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company's most successful products. The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. Not only should we try to learn from it; if we want to succeed, we must also be persistent. Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998, the first iPhone wasn't available until 2007. It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone, but in the end,the effort paid off. Ultimately, there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. One truly cannot exist without the other. In my youth the lonely inventor who could not obtain a hearing was still the stock figure of the imagination. 单选题 1分

However, Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, believed the product had potential and he began to explore ways of improving it In time, this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company's most successful products. The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. Not only should we try to learn from it; if we want to succeed, we must also be persistent. Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998, the first iPhone wasn't available until 2007. It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone, but in the end,the effort paid off. Ultimately, there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. One truly cannot exist without the other. What does Pete Athans learn from his mountain climbing experiences? 单选题 2分

42、Passage 1 Failure: We all avoid it, and most of us fear it. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. Indeed, the word success comes from the Latin succedere, meaning"to come after." And what does success usually come after? Failure. It seems that one cannot exist without the other. Every failure-even the worst ones-helps us learn to do things differently in the future. "I leamed how not to climb the first four times I tried to summit Everest," says mountaineer Pete Athans, who has now reached the world's highest peak seven times. "Failure gives you a chance to refine your approach. You're taking risks more and more intelligently. "In Athans' case, his setback taught him that it was important to choose a less challenging route for hi first climb up Everest. Learning from past mistakes and making changes helped him to reach the top successfully. Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong-sometimes with disastrous results. Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to summit all 14 of the world's 8.000-meter peaks without extra oxygen. In 2007, while climbing in Nepal, she was in an avalanche. Luckily, she survived, but two Spanish climbers died. The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter bow prepared a person is, bad things can still happen. The events of that day troubled her deeply, but in time, Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from the experience and move on. "I realized that I couldn't make the tragedy unhappen,"she says, "and I couldn't stop climbing-this is my life." Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often reluctant to admit failure because our professional reputations depend on success. However, things are slowly changing notably in the fields of business and science. In the past decade, for instance, some scientific journals--mostly in medicine and conservation-have published reports of failed experiments. The belief is that the science community can also learn from "negative "results and that this can eventually lead to positive outcomes. In many ways, the business world already understands the value of negative results. To encourage entrepreneurship, the Netherlands-based ABN AMRO bank started an Institute of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn't in banking. Similarly. Eli Lilly, the pharmaceutical corporation, has"R&D outcome celebrations"-failure parties-to study data about drugs that don't work. (Almost 90 percent of all drug trials fail, and the drugs cannot be sold.) In fact, one of the business world's most famous failures eventually became one of its biggest successes.

46、Passage 2 It was one of those days, an ordinary October day. I woke up weary and all of the routines of life were chores, the people in it irritants. I wasn't feeling any sense of gratitude for my comfortable home or lovely family. I dropped my two older children at school with a sense of relief and reluctantly headed to the supermarket to buy groceries with my youngest. I was feeling resentful at having to go in the first place (why do they have to eat?) and my son, just four years old at the time and responding to my mood, was being difficult. I raced around with the trolley. thoughtlessly tossing items in with no regard to cost, while trying to control my naughty child whose behavior had now become completely unacceptable. Yet, I was that mother, shouting, threatening, and despairing at a small child. The kind of behavior you see in others before you have children and think, I will never be one of those people We eventually made it to the checkout, and stood in the queue waiting our tum. After a short time, I noticed that someone had joined the line behind us. I turned around and saw an old man. He was stooped驼背 over and wore dirty overcoat, tied around the middle with rope. His shoes were split and his trousers flapped around sockless ankles on this cold, wet day. In his hands he carried a small carton of long-life milk. As I had trolley full of groceries, I asked him if he'd like to go ahead of me. It wasn't a act of kindness on my part, rather an automatic reaction, deeply rooted in me since childhood from the times I went shopping with my mother. Perhaps I just did it out of a sense of obligation or guilt. Perhaps I just wanted him gone. After all, his presence made me uncomfortable, in the same way I feel uncomfortable and turn away my eyes when passing a homeless person. He looked shocked and uncertain. "No, I couldn't possibly, are you sure? How kind of you," stuttered. Reluctantly he went ahead, paid for his milk, and took his change. Then, to my amazement, he turned to my little boy and gently pressed the change into his hand. I protested that it wasn't necessary but he was insistent. And my son, who had up to this minute been a thorn my side, smiled his most beautiful smile, looked at this stranger frankly. and without judgment or hesitation, bear-hugged him around his dirty legs. The man gave a sheepish, gummy smile, then walked off, turning again to say thank you and wave. I wondered at his life and at his reaction. Was he so rarely shown any humanity? Did he feel be needed to pay for being acknowledged? I felt shame at my earlier self-pity. This humble kind stranger had made me resolve to be more thankful-and made my little angel skip out of the supermarket with joy. I never saw the man again but I think about him often.
