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.

| People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another 1 , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his 2 ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to 3 aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In 4 these and other research findings, two themes are 5 : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think 6 assistance. In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. 7 , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be 8 , but had apparently been "lost". The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very 9 person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to 10 the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive. The degree of 11 between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) 12 T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words. Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone. 13 to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for 14 than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be 15 rather than drunk. | ||||

Today I am known for my voice. Perhaps the greatest honor came when I was asked to read a book on tape.

4 , when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to our school. He was a retired college professor. English was his 5 subject; poetry was his deepest love. He held a book of poems 6 it were a diamond necklace, turning pages as if uncovering treasures. When he heard our school was teaching Shakespeare and other classics, he could no longer 7 not being a part of our school.
When he 8 that I not only loved poetry but was 9 it, we became closer. There was, however, one 10 between us－Professor Crouch could not stand the 11 that I refused to read my poems to the class.
“Jim, poetry is 12 to be read aloud,” he said. “You should be able to speak those beautiful words.” I shook my head and 13 .
Then he tricked me. After handing in a poem, I waited for his 14 . It didn’t come. Instead, one day as the students gathered together, he challenged me.” Jim, I don’t think you wrote this.”
I 15 him in disbelief. “Why,” I started, anger flooding me. “of course I 16 !” “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it 17 memory.”
By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up. For a moment I stood 18 . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way through!
Afterwards, Professor Crouch congratulated me and 19 me to read other writers’ poetry before public.
Before long I discovered I did have a(n) 20 and found my fellow students actually looked forward to hearing me recite.
