| Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise,we accept these failures as a 1 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers,we don't 2 our children to have this same right. When I see a child 3 from this kind of pressure,I think of Donnie. Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 4 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 5 answered questions-he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his 6 . But nothing changed until midterm,when Mary Anne,a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty,and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included,all 7 her very much. One morning,we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had copied the problems with pains taking tidiness and filled answers in the first row. 8 with his progress, I 9 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned,Donnie was in 10 . He'd missed the third problem. My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 11 . From the desk we shared,she got a container filled with pencils. "Look,Donnie," she said,kneeling beside him and gently 12 the tear-stained (弄脏的) face from his arms."I've got something to 13 you. " She removed the pencils,one at a time, and placed them on his desk. "See these 14 , Donnie," she continued. "They belong to Mrs Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers(橡皮) are 15 ? That's because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That's what you 16 learn to do,too. " She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said. "I'll leave one of these pencils on 17 desk so you'll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 18 teachers. " Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile. The 19 became Donnie's prized possession. That,together with Mary Anne's frequent encouragement,gradually 20 him that it's all right to make mistakes as long as you erase them and try again. | ||||

| Millions of aircraft take off around the world every year. The skies they fly in seem limitless-miles of empty space. But,with the number of flights increasing each year,this emptiness no longer exists. Researchers in the world of aviation(航空) are worried about the increasing pressure on pilots and ground controllers. And increasing collisions ,occurring at or near an airport,have called attention to the need for more aids(辅助设备) to aviation control. People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety. A great deal of money is spent on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the vast increase in passengers travelling by air. Only a small percentage of this money is spent on navigation(导航) and other aids. Actually,suitable electronic equipment has long existed,and many companies market safety aids designed to make it safer for aircraft to take off,fly any distance,and land,whatever the weather. Yet,there are two problems to be solved. The first is to get govemments,airlines and airport officials to agree to basic levels of safety aids. The second problem is to find a way of meeting these basic requirements. But no matter how well the equipment works,operators of the equipment still play an important role. Communications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety. It is worth pointing out that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English and the use of another language,in an intemational conversation,has led to two recent aircraft accidents. A new type of instrument(仪器) called FLIGHTWATCH would help pilots prevent airport collisions. It would be particularly helpful near airports. |
| 1. The increasing number of flights leads to the fact that______. |
| A. flying is no longer limited in the sky B. there is no empty space for aids to aviation control C. piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficult D. the pressure on the ground becomes greater |
| 2. There is uncertainty about air safety because _____. |
| A. planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengers B. money spent on electronic equipment is far from enough C. suitable electronic equipment hasn't been invented yet D. it is dangerous for planes to take off or land |
| 3. The underlined word "collisions" probably means _________. |
| A. accidents in which two planes hit each other B. misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllers C. quarrels among passengers D. breakdowns of new types of instrument |

| An " apple polisher" is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂) ,buc is close to it. All sorts of people are apple-polishers,including politicians and people in high offices-just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell,the great English leader,offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party,but failed. There are other phrases meaning the same thing as " apple-polishing" ," soft-soaping" or "buttering-up". A gift is just one way to " soft-soap" somebody,or to "butter him up". Another that is just as effective is flattery(讨好,奉承) , giving someone high praise-telling him how good he looks,how well he speaks,or how talented and wise he is. Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist (抵 抗) the thrill (兴奋) of being told how wonderful he is. In truth,flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it. We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It can not hurt unless we get carried away by it. But if we just take in its good value and nourishment(营养) ,then we can still remain true to ourselves. Sometimes,however,flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣) .They overpraised him to the skies,as a man of limitless power. He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide(潮水 ) was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery was. |
| 1. Which of the following activities has nothing to do with" apple-polishing" ? |
| A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks. B. An employee tells his boss how good he is at management. C. A king is said to be of limitless power by his followers. D. A teacher praises his students for their talent and wisdom. |
| 2. Which of the following statements about flattery is TRUE according to the writer ? |
| A. Too much flattery can carry us away. B. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people. C. Flattery can get you nothing but excessive pride. D. Flattery is too empty to do people any good. |
