In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In 26 way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often 27 Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider28 a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough 29 in the rock. He tried six times. On the 30 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to 31 the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made 32 models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked33 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have 34 failures. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't35”.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused36 ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go37 next times.
Second, is the goal（目标 ） you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some 38 about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in 39 about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have 40 ．

“Mum, I want to make you a bet,” I said. “If I go a whole year without TV, will you give me a hundred dollars?”
“Well, if you can 1 do it, …”
“Of course I can,” I replied, trying to convince 2 .
In fact, all this started from my 3 of a picture in the newspaper. I couldn’t bear to look at that boy. He said that he had 4 one year without TV for a hundred dollars, 5 me with mocking eyes. It seemed he was saying, “I did it, 6 you can’t!”. I glared at the boy’s face.
That year I did a lot of things. For example, my father taught me to 7 , which became my favorite sport. 8 winter afternoons snowball wars with my neighborsoffered daily drama. I went on bike trips with my friends and swam as much asa fish.
It was unbelievable how much 9 I had without TV. I learned so many new games. I guess the 10 thing I learnt, though, was self-motivation(上进心).
I started to do myhomework. I went from a D student to an A student within a couple of 11 .
Iused to 12 reading if there were no 13 , but now I began to read and enjoy it. I couldarrange off all the pictures just the way I wanted them—my own littleTV, right 14 my head!

Shyness(害羞) means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some children were 1shy. Some become very shy later because of their life experience. 2, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just how much they feel shy.
Most people have red faces and talk in 3sentences when they are shy. But some become 4shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to 5and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting 6people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be 7for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a big 8. Some experts(专家) say shy people are good at working because they think more and 9less. But remember not to let good opportunities(机会) pass you just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or give some performances in front of others, just do it.
