Failure is what often happens. It is everywhere in our life. Students may fail in exams, scientists may fail in their research work, and players may fail in competitions. Although failure happens to everyone, different people’s attitudes(态度) towards failure are different.
Some people don’t think that their failure is an important thing at all. So they pay no attention to it. As a result, they will have the same failure later. Some people think they themselves are fools and lose their hearts in everything after they get a failure. Then they(A) (花费)their time and energy on useless things. At last, they may really be fools as they have thought.
(B)Other people are quite different from these two kinds of people mentioned above(上面提到的). Instead of being hopeless and lost, they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced. They will be successful after hard work in the end. So we should draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery Hour. Today we’ll show you two British stories. We hope you’ll enjoy them.
About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England. Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language. They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them. The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there. And her skin color turned back to normal day by day. Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can turn green.
Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland. It’s a very deep and cold lake. For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster(怪物) called Nessie which lives in the lake. About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake. They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water. Since then many people say they have seen the monster. Their descriptions are always the same. It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head. It has a big bump(肿块)on its back. People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear. Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not. Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish.

Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?
If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail, insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.There were _______ blind man who were trying to tell what an elephant was like in the story.
A.two | B.four | C.five | D.six |
The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.
A.heavy | B.thin | C.tall | D.strong |
The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to ___.
A.your left hand | B.your right hand | C.the water | D.the bowl |
What makes people think about simple facts differently?
A.People’s wrong ideas. |
B.People’s different experience. |
C.Simple facts are different sometimes. |
D.People often disagree with each other. |
It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.
A.learn from the blind men |
B.not agree about simple facts |
C.never think about simple facts |
D.never decide anything with one side |
