In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In       way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often       .Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13 ^th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider       a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough        in the rock. He tried six times without success .On the        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       the English . Edison , the inventor of the light bulb, made       models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked         he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have         failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won"t        ”.
So what? First，always think about your failure. What caused       ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go          next time.
Second, is the goal you"re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some         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 shouldn"t be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in        about failure is that it"s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have       ．

解析

试题分析：这篇短文通过蜘蛛跳岩结网不畏失败对十三世纪苏格兰领袖Robert Bruce的启示，和爱迪生发明灯泡经过数百次的失败的故事，教育我们要正确对待失败，要反思失败的原因，要不畏失败，同时要认识到失败是人生的一部分，做到心安理得地面对可能出现的失败。
小题1:考查不定代词及语境的理解。A. other（别的，其他的），B. another（另一个，又一个），C. first（第一个），D. second（第二个）。前句的意思是“一种思考问题的方式是，失败是生活的一部分。”第二句意思是“另一种思考方式是失败是通向成功的一种途径”。One …, another… “一个……，另一个……”的意思。注意与one …the other…的区别。前文和选项的比较，得知选B。
小题2:考查动词的搭配及语境的理解。A. told（告诉，讲（故事））B. said（说……）C. talked（说话，讲话）D. spoken（说话），本句的意思是“蜘蛛的故事经常被人们讲述”。 “讲故事”的动词是tell,其过去分词是told，表示被动，因此选。A
小题3:考查动词及语境的理解。在A. doing，B. taking，C. making和D. playing中表示制作意思的是make，本句的意思是“他看到一只蜘蛛在结网”。 “蜘蛛结网”是make a web，故选C。
小题4:考查名词及语境的理解。A. room（房间，空地方）B. house（房屋）C. place（地方）D. soil（土壤）。本句的意思是蜘蛛想跨越岩石上的崎岖不平的地方结网，与房间、房屋无关。故选C。
小题5:考查序数词及语境的理解。A. tenth（第十）B. sixth（第六）C. eighth（第八）D. seventh（第七）。上句的内容说它跳了六次没有成功，本句的意思是“在第七次时，它成功了，接下去它编织着网”。故选D。
小题6:考查动词及语境的理解。A. save（拯救）B. help（帮助）C. defeat（击败）D. kill（***死）。本句的意思是“据说Bruce受到此事（蜘蛛结网）的鼓励接下来打败了英国人。”根据句意选C。
小题7:考查数词及语境的理解。A. hundred（百）B. hundreds（百，复数形式）C. hundred of（错误搭配）D. hundreds of（几百（个，次）……）。句意是“爱迪生发明电灯泡的时候，在他发现正确的方法制造出一个之前，失败过几百次。”故选D。
小题8:考查宾语从句及语境的理解。A. why（为什么）B. when（何时）C. what（什么）D. who（谁）。本句意思是“有一次有人问他，当他经历了这么多次的失败时，为什么还是坚持不懈地想要制造出一种新型电池。”根据句意得知选A。
小题9:考查否定限定词及语境的理解。A. not（不，无）B. no（不，无）    C. never（绝不，永不）D. nothing（没任何东西）。 No="not" a, not any。本句的意思是“失败？我没有任何失败。”在have 的否定句里，后面的名词前没有其它词时否定词不用not，用no.故选B。
小题10:考查动词及语境的理解。Do，make， took和work这些词中Work表示起效，起作用。本句的意思是“现在我知道了5000种不起作用的方法。”故选D。
小题11:考查代词及语境的理解。本句得到意思是“首先，我们要思考一下失败的情况，是什么导致了它？”。It指的是前文中的failure。故选B。
小题12:考查形容词及语境的理解。A. high（高的）   B. large（大的）C. right（对的）D. bright（明亮的）。Go right/wrong变得正确/错误。本句的意思是“那么，下一次情况会趋向正确。”故选C。
小题13:考查动词词组及语境的理解。Do some thinking, 思考一下；do some shopping, 购物；do some reading,看书； do some cleaning，打扫卫生；根据前文“你要达到的目的是否正确?” 本句的意思是“尽量思考一下你真正的目的可能会是什么”。得知选A。
小题14:考查动词短语及语境的理解。本句的意思是“关于失败要牢记心中的第三件事情是，它是人生的一部分。”A. heart（心，心脏）    B. eyes（眼睛）C. ears（耳朵）D. mind（头脑）。Keep in mind的意思是“牢记”，heart(心，心脏)，mind指的是与头脑、智力、思维有关的内容。故选D。

举一反三

What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
　　Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
　　Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

"Before I came to Australia, I"d never seen a sandwich," said Joseline Ntunzusenimanima, a 33-year-old mother of seven from Burundi in East Africa.
