    How many times do you have to fail at something in order to succeed? Did you know that Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times while trying to invent the light bulb? He certainly had a “learn and do” attitude! He was able to turn each failed experiment into a successful way to invent the light bulb. So what can we learn from this? You can adopt the “fail forward” strategy too.

    In reality, none of us are failures. It’s true that we will experience times of defeat, problems, and disasters, but remember, each one of us is meant to succeed in life. However, we must choose our fate. Henry David Thoreau said, “Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”

    We can never be forced into having a happy and successful life. Whether or not you experience success or failure is completely controlled by what you think and do. You are the only one who can choose the thoughts that will keep you from achieving the abundant life and joy that you are meant to have. No matter how difficult things may seem, say to yourself, “I choose to be a happy and successful person.”

    Why do some people get what they want and others fail? I believe that getting what you desire in life takes planning, and it doesn’t just happen by luck. So how do we plan for success?

    It has been proven that successful people do things more differently than unsuccessful people. They recognize the patterns of success and follow them; one of those patterns is planning. They plan what they think and do, which sets them apart. They know exactly what they desire, have an intelligent plan for getting it, and then work their plan. They know what success will cost them in terms of time, energy, and results, and they devote the right resources toward making their plans happen.

    1.The writer refers to Thomas Edison to ________.

    A．introduce his invention

    B．put forward the topic of the text

    C．praise the inventor

    D．show the way to success

    2.What Henry David Thoreau said implies that ________.

    A．everyone is able to be a success

    B．most people lack the confidence to succeed

    C．everyone can do nothing but succeed in his life

    D．no one can succeed without difficulty and suffering

    3.The main idea of the last two paragraphs is that ________.

    A．planning plays an important role in success

    B．successful people differ from unsuccessful ones

    C．successful people have many patterns of success

    D．devoting the right resources can help reach one’s goal

    4.Which of the following would match the text?

    A．All roads lead to Rome.        B．Think twice before you act.

    C．No pains, no gains.       D．Failure is the mother of success.

     

    【答案】

     

    1.B

    2.A

    3.A

    4.D

    【解析】

    试题分析：本文主要讲述的是成功与失败的关系。我们要从失败中吸取教训，最后取得成功。作者提出我们要加强工作以及学习的计划性。

    1.B 推理题。根据文章第一段1,2行How many times do you have to fail at something in order to succeed? Did you know that Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times while trying to invent the light bulb?作者用爱迪生的例子主要来告诉我们接下来要讨论的如何从失败中吸取教训，最后走向成功。故B正确。

    2.A 推理题。根据Henry David Thoreau said, “Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”可知每个人生下来都是为了取得成功，而不是失败。也就是说每个人都可能取得成功。故A正确。

    3.A 段落大意题。根据倒数第二段Why do some people get what they want and others fail? I believe that getting what you desire in life takes planning, and it doesn’t just happen by luck.可知作者在这两段中主要讨论的是计划在我们取得成功中的重要作用。故A正确。

    4.D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是成功与失败的关系。我们要从失败中吸取教训，加强工作以及学习的计划性。故D项符合上下文。
