In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider-story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider making a web(网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times. On the seventh time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this 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. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have no failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it wont work.” So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time? Second, is the goal youre 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 shouldnt be doing anyway. The third thing to keep in mind about failure is that its a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed.56. This passage deals with _. A. failure and success B. two sides of failure C. the “spider-story” D. the invention of light bulb57. In the first paragraph the writer tells mainly about _. A. the value of failure B. how people fail C. famous failures D. how not to fail58. The thing the writer does not tell you to do to deal with failure is _. A. check out your goals to see if they are right for you B. think about failure as part of your life C. think about failure to find out what went wrong D. keep away from things that are beyond you59. Even if we have failed we should _. A. learn to forget it B. learn to remember it C. learn to enjoy it D. learn to accept itBLife on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since they, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution（进化）took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots（根）,and some had got tree -like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.60The main idea of the first paragraph is _.A. life on land probably began 430 years agoB. the first animal on land came from oceansC. there wouldn't be animals without plantsD. plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy61Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.

It was the 27th consecutive（连续的 ）and successful launch of China - made rockets since October 1996. This launch has made it more realistic for China to send a person into space on its own following Russia and the USA.Qi Faren，leading designer of the spacecraft system, said all the functions （功能） designed for manned flights have withstood （经受住）the test of three previous, successful launches and return landings of the “Shenzhou” spaceships.China launched the “Shenzhou ”, “Shenzhou ”and “Shenzhou ”spacecrafts in 1999,2001 and 2002 respectively.“Shouzhou ” was to make it a more comfortable place in which astronauts can live and work. All parts of the application system for manned flight are aboard the “Shenzhou ”craft in all test flights.Chinas manned flight programme began in 1992. A number of unmanned test flights will be launched before Chinese astronauts are sent into space.Leading scientists in charge of Chinas manned space programme said the successful launch of the “Shenzhou ” laid a solid foundation for the countrys future task of sending Chinese astronauts to outer space.The spacecraft returned to the earth on January 5, after completing seven experiments in space.Officials at the centre said that“ Shenzhou ”, a manned spacecraft, is expected to be launched later this year.64How many countries can send a person into space on its own by now？A. 2.B. 3.
