| In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. Unit 5 Great People The "spider story" is told. Robert Bruce ,leader of the Scots in the 13th century ,was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web .The spider tried to reach across a rough place on the rock.lt tried six times without success. For the seventh time it made it and went on to spin its web.

Think about this question ,"lf I do succeed in this ,where will it get me?"This may prevent you from doing things you shouldn"t do.

| I"ve loved my mother"s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she"d said again, "is for Elizabeth. " I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too "emotional (另动感情的) ". But she lived "on the surface". As years passed, I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive (原谅) me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest, finally, peace. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn"t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not. Now the present of her desk told me, as she"d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times. Give me the answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words. | |||

| I"m confused (困惑) these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence (暴力) is the least civilized (文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right? When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees (难民) exist, too. A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really "make peace" by killing so many people? I don"t think bombs (炸弹) can reach people"s hearts and change them. Bombs can"t create love and caring, and that"s what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can"t they use their wisdom (智慧) and talk it over? Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don"t they act as what they say? —A page from a 12-year-old boy, Joshua"s diary. | |||
