If You Make a Mistake, Don't Worry! Yeah, you may want to forget about them, but mistakes can be useful. Making a mistake doesn't mean it's the end of the world. In your real life you have to grow and mature, and you will experience some growing pains. You know you should have studied hard but you went out with some friends instead. You know you should have put the money into the bank for a rainy day instead of spending it on all kinds of things you didn't need. Most people experience growing pains and make mistakes when they are growing up. If you make mistakes, face them and learn from them. All of the famous people you wish to copy have made mistakes. They'll continue to make mistakes for all their successes. One of the major differences between people like them and the majority of others is that they don't let their mistakes stop them. Instead, they use their mistakes as learning tools. At the very least, when you make a mistake, you'll know what not to do. And you can help others by warning them of the mistakes you've made. Don't let mistakes stop you from doing anything. Learn from them, and don't hide. Face up to your mistakes now and later you will mature. What mistakes are you making now？ Take a look at anything you might be doing wrong. Take a step back and evaluate （评估) your situation, and then correct your mistakes. Then move forward. Always remember your mistakes to remind yourself of what not to do for the future.
Why does the writer say mistakes can be useful？[ ]
A. Because you can get to the end of the world. B. Because famous people also make mistakes. C. Because you can mature by facing and learning from mistakes. D. Because you spend money on something you don't need.
When you make mistakes next time, what should you do？[ ]
A. Try to face the mistakes. B. Let mistakes stop you from doing anything. C. Forget the mistakes you make. D. Expect others to make the same mistakes.
What can you learn from the passage？[ ]
A. Before you make any mistake, you had better hide in your room. B. Remember your mistake and don't make the same mistake again. C. Don't go out with some of your friends any more. D. Forget your mistakes.

Every day, life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experience some of the most important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren't just important to us; they make the world what it is. Scientists say that gravitational （重力的) force makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go round. Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, even complete strangers. Even of you can't see it, you know it's there. Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity？ Whether after a national disaster, or a school fund-raiser, one thing is certain-it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is found everywhere and whether it's a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all, being generous is not something you need any qualifications for, but no matter what you do, it can make a difference. Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance. Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing an essay, these are all finished with perseverance. Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists to discover cures for diseases, and athletes to become champions. You may fail, but every time you make a mistake, that's one less to make the next time. There is an infinite （无穷的) number of things we value, but without love, generosity and perseverance, we just don't think that our life or the world would be the way it is.
The underlined word"it" in the second paragraph refers to "_____".[ ]
A. the world B. gravitational force. C. value D. experience
To be generous, the author thinks _____.[ ]
A. you needn't make efforts B. you should be qualified C. you should give all you have D. you will find it good to give
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？[ ]
A. Peseverance is the only thing that can help us to achieve success B. People don't understand the life they are experiencing at all C. We can find love in complete strangers sometimes D. What the world is like depends on gravity and love.
What would be the best title for the passage？[ ]
A. Success and Failure B. Three Values C. Endless Love D. Life Full of Hope
We find the passage conveys a（n) ___ attitude to us when we read between the lines.[ ]
A. negative B. positive C. indifferent D. worried

任务型阅读，每空一词。
Is there a "success personality"-some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably （必然 地) to achievement？ If so, exactly what is that secret success formula （公式), and can anyone develop it？ At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random （任意地) from Who's Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense. Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. 79 percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success. To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way:"The key ability for success is simplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important." Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it？ The oil man's answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He owes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their-and your own-mistakes. Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self- reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you'll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who's Who someday.

Beauty has always been regarded as something admirable. Almost everyone thinks that attractive people are happier and healthier; they have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal consultants （顾问) give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive persons. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive thing for a man's rise, it is harmful to a woman's. Handsome male executives （主管) were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to be the reasons for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able？ An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine （女性的) and an attractive man more masculine （男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required. This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the woman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.
In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _____.[ ]
A. strengthens the feminine qualities required B. makes women look more honest and capable C. is of great importance to women D. often enables women to succeed quickly
Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.[ ]
A. turns out to be an obstacle to men B. affects men and women alike C. has as little effect on men as on women D. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women
It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often _____.[ ]
A. practical B. old-fashioned C. prejudiced D. serious
The author writes this passage to _____.[ ]
A. discuss the negative aspects of being attractive B. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive C. demand equal rights for women D. emphasize the importance of appearance
