People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, a mistake is a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things, you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is: “you can’t” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. For example, Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes. We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly, because our time and money are limited(有限的)
There is an old saying, “if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn, and grow, and succeed.
小题1:If you are making a mistake, that means__________.| A．you’re careful | B．you’re kind | | C．you’re growing | D．you know nothing |
小题2:If you never try new things, you can’t___________.| A．improve | B．create | C． spend | D．A and B |
小题3: After Edison failed 10,000 times, he__________.| A．gave up | B．invented the light bulb | | C．invented the computer | D．invented 10,000 new things |
小题4:When you make a mistake, you are closer to___________.| A．time | B．money | C．success | D．new things |
小题5: What’s the main idea of the passage?| A．Never make mistakes | | B．You can make mistakes without thinking | | C．Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes | | D．Making mistakes is terrible |

If you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.
There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal (信号) by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.
Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (枪声). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house---cover up to the holes with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.
What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.

小题3:When you hear two shouts, or whistles, or gunshots, __________.| A．you should shout more loudly | | B．you can whistle three times | | C．it is an answer to your call for help | | D．you should try to run to them |

This past month saw one of the most devastating storms in history brings death and destruction on the Philippines. The number of lives lost is still being calculated, but it is already sitting above five thousand. In the flurryof news about the storm and its after－math, the cries of “I told you so” from environmentalists rang out loud and clear.
These scientists were especially vocal during the United Nations Climate Change Conference, which just wrapped up in Warsaw, Poland. The timing of the conference and Typhoon Haiyan was an eerie coincidence, but perhaps the concurrence offered a wakeup call for all.
Christiana Figures, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) said, “We are witnessing ever more frequent extreme weather events, and the poor and vulnerable are already paying the price.”
Scientists claim that storms like Typhoon Haiyan are an inevitable result of the effect greenhouse gases are having on our environment. Environmental analysts claim that rising temperatures around the globe and changing weather patterns are all part of the same problem.
This isn’t breaking news. We’ve heard the warnings for years. The UN has been hosting the Climate Change Conference since1995.But the changes that need to be made are huge. Added to this, the developed nations and developing countries have competing interests that are difficult to settle. The issue of who takes responsibility becomes difficult to resolve.
We may feel far away from Poland and resolving conflicts between countries, but we mustn’t feel far away from the issue. When we watch neighboring countries suffer in severe weather, when we hear reports of increasing global temperatures, when we walk outside and find it difficult to breathe the Shanghai air, we know we have a very real problem. So what are we going to do about it? Are we making every-day choices that can have a positive impact? Are we reducing our carbon footprint? Are we choosing to walk, ride a bicycle or take public transportation instead of a car? Are we recycling? Are we turning off the lights and electronics whenever possible?
The problem is complex, but saving our earth starts with each of us taking simple steps.
小题1:What is the most terrible typhoon in 2013? It is _________.| A．Haiyan | B．Bebinca | C．Danas | D．Cimaron |
小题2:Warsaw isn’t in Poland，is it?| A．Yes, it is | B．No, it isn’t | C．Yes, it isn’t | D．No, it is |
小题3:How many years have we heard the warnings? For nearly ______years.小题4:Which of the following is NOT FALSE?| A．The environment is worse and worse and we have no ideas about it. | | B．The environment is worse and we needn’t do anything about it. | | C．Saving our environment is not so complex. | | D．The environment is a big problem and we must take simple steps |

He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family"s cabin on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch（鲈鱼）with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure（鱼饵）and practiced casting. The lure struck the water and caused colored ripples in the sunset, then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.
When his pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. Finally, he very gingerly lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a perch . The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish. Then the father lit a match(火柴) and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.--- two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
"You"ll have to put it back, son," he said.
"Dad!" cried the boy.
"There will be other fish," said his father.
"Not as big as this one," cried the boy.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could know everything by his father"s clear voice that the decision could not be changed. He slowly worked the hook(钩) out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.
The creature swished its powerful body and disappeared. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. His father"s cabin is still there on the island in the middle of the lake. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
He was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish---again and again---every time he comes up against a question of ethics（道德规范）.
小题1:When did the story happen?| A．Early morning | B．Late afternoon | C．Late night | D．In the bass season |
小题2: Why did the father ask his son to put the perch back?| A．Because the father disliked the perch. | | B．Because the father was afraid of being fined. | | C．Because the ethics must be observed. | | D．Because the son was more experience in fishing than his father. |
小题3:When does the architect (the father’s son) think of that perch put back?| A．When he takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock. | | B．When he builds many famous buildings. | | C．When he pays a visit to his old father. | | D．When he faces some problems about ethics. |
小题4:Which word can not be used to describe the boy’s father?| A．honest | B．unselfish | C．serious | D．generous |
小题5:From the passage, we can learn _________.| A．how we can get the handsome fish | | B．how we master some skills of going fishing | | C．how we understand our parents’ words is very important | | D．how we do things in good and right ways. |
