Failure，they say, is the best teacher. We learn and have more confidence in what we know through trial and error, which onetime or another has 36 failure. You don’t have to 37 your failure if what you really want to achieve is 38 .

For every 39 achievement, there have been one or more failures. But those who we call successful are those who 40 to accept failure and believe success is the other side of failure. The incandescent light (白炽灯) was 41 after 1,000 failures. If Thomas Edison had 42 after he tried 100 times without the desired result, what would have been the 43 of such effort?

Any time you see products and new inventions, think in terms of failures that are not accepted. 44 everything in a microform (微缩过程) today is a result of failure not accepted.

Any time your effort is not bringing a(n) 45 result, you don’t have to call it a failure. Call it a challenge. What is the 46 between the two? One is negative, the other is 47 ; one demotivates , the other motivates.

What you need is positive thinking and motivation to 48 success. Failure is an end thing; 49 is an open thing. Failure means there is no way out, no alternative, but a challenge is a question mark 50 another way out of the situation, an alternative 51 to the problem.

Keep dreaming, keep moving; that is the solution to success.

A wise man once said if you cannot fly, run. If you cannot 52 ,walk. If you cannot walk, crawl; just keep moving. If you fall down, you have to 53 and start moving. If not, other people will step on you towards their 54 . What you call failure and 55 is what someone will step into with just a little additional effort to reach achievement.

第三部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节(共15小题:每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、 B、 C和D中。选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

My horse，Treasure，is my hero because she helped me discover how to relate to her．In the process，she “ fixed ” my relationship with my husband and my children．? When I got her，she was 2 years old, with no handling. She was not going to accept any kind of instructions from me. In the interest of not getting myself killed，I started to read and educate myself on ways to manage a high-spirited horse．?　　I discovered natural horsemanship（马术）,a method of training that focuses on communication．In order to communicate with another person，you must be understood．The very definition（定义）of understanding is two or more persons share the same idea. This simple definition had a big influence on me．I realized that communication is a two-way street!?　　When I started to adopt horsemanship in my life，I noticed a change in the way other people related to me．My husband，when I stopped ordering him around，became happier and more helpful．My children，when I practiced being fair，firm and most of all，considerate，were motivated（激发）to act sooner，at a polite request instead of the orders from me．? I think the most valuable life skill I learned from my horse is that pressure motivates. As soon as I applied these basic skills to my daily activities, I started to notice positive changes. My children were more considerate of each other．and started to ask first，without telling．I became aware of my position as a role model．?　　Today，five years later，I have the perfect horse．I also have very polite kids and a very happy husband．There’s nothing in the world that can compare to being loved by ones you love most---even if it all started with the attitude of a very special horse．?56．What does the underlined phrase “with no handling” in Paragraph2 mean?

If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.

Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.

“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.

According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.

Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.

According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.

The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle.” Bell said.

60. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Thin people may be fat inside.

B. Internal fat is of no importance.

C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.

D. Thin people don’t
