     Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply, because no one tells us how to
fail so that  failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part
of the human condition and that every person had the right to fail.
     Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge
that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child"s hastily made
table as "perfect" even though it doesn"t stand still. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails
science,  his teacher is unfair or stupid.
     The trouble with failure-prevention devices is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the
real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything. No one can win all the
time  and that it"s possible to enjoy a game even when you don"t win. A child who"s not invited to a
birthday party, who doesn"t make the honor list on the baseball team, feels terrible,
of course, but   parents should not offer a quick consolation prize(安慰奖) or say, "It
doesn"t matter." Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment and
be helped to master it.
     Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a
positive  contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask "why did I fail?"
Don"t blame  someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If
someone else can help,  don"t be shy about inquiring.
     Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as
failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a second one, from an ill-chosen first house
what to   look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can prompt(激起) fresh thinking,
a change  of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet a friend of mine auditioned(面试) for a
professional company. She was turned down. "would further training help?" she asked. The ballet
master shook his head. "You will never be a dancer," he said, "you haven"t the body for it."
     In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock(鉴定) bravely and ask, "What have I
left?  What else can I do?"My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center,
a field   where she"s both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there"s less to lose.
Often  there is recovery of energy-a way to find new possibilities.

1. The first paragraph tells us _______.

A. the reason why so many people are afraid of failure
B. the reason why we don"t know how to fail
C. failure is very natural for every person
D. one should be ready to face failure at any time

2. The second paragraph tells us___________.A. how a mother praised her children
B. two ways of failure prevention most parents use when their children fail
C. how to shift blame
D. parents should blame their children at the proper time3. According to the author, what should a child know in the real world?A. Ways to avoid failure.
B. No one can be best all the time at everything.
C. No parents should offer quick consolation.
D. He can get pleasure from failure as well as success.4. What can make a positive contribution to one"s life once he learns to use it?A. Success
B. Disappointment
C. Failure
D. Value.

     Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little
environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness,
it is becoming more and more important  to  camp  unobtrusively(不引人注目地) and  leave no mark.
     Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you
are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their
policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland,
but in England you must ask the landowner"s permission, except in national parks.
     Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do
without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite（野营地)seems to go against this, so
seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still,
find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
     Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night"s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing
dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting
insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downivind
of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging
plants. A good campsite is found, not made-changing it should be unnecessary.1. You needn"t ask for permission when camping___________.       A. national parks in England
B. most parts of Scotland
C. crowded lowland Britain
D. most parts of England 2. The author thinks that a good campsite is one_________.     A. with easy access
B. used previously
C. with modern conveniences
D. far away from beaches 3. The last paragraph mainly deals with__________.    A. protecting animals
B. building a campfire
C. camping in woodland
D. finding a campsite with privacy 4. The passage is mainly about___________.    A. the protection of campsites
B. the importance of wild camping
C. the human influence on campsites
D. the dos and don"ts of wild camping
