课后提升练(九) Section Ⅳ WRITING
[对应学生用书P167]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resume(简历)or CV.Like social media,there,we usually only see our friends’ “highlight part”.When we look at others’ resumes,we get scared and think how ours doesn’t measure up.But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them—we just don’t see it.
Stefan felt this deeply as a scientist,so she wrote a different CV which of course boasted(夸耀) about her good grades,PhD,and published papers.But the way she deals with her failure CV is a model of what we could all do.
“My CV does not reflect my great academic efforts—it does not mention the exams I failed,my unsuccessful PhD or scholarship applications,or the papers never accepted for publication.During the interviews,I talk about the one project that worked,not about the many that failed,”writes Stefan in a column for Nature.com.
Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log,casually but regularly,every unsuccessful application,refused grant proposal and rejected paper.
And that’s the point:not to consider what we got wrong,but to use that information to both look at failure and realize it’s really okay,and also to use our failures for another purpose:as learning tools.
The point is to be real—with ourselves and about how the world works.Being real means taking an honest,critical,but also kind look at what we didn’t get right,and then doing our best to change what we can.Instead of focusing on how that failure makes you feel,take the time to step back and analyze the practical,operational reasons that you failed.
So,practice being okay with failure,and turning your failures into lessons learned.And yes,sometimes we have to learn those lessons more than once,letting go of what you can’t change.And keep moving forward to success.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。即使是最有成就的人背后也会经历很多失败——我们只是没有看到它。那么我们应如何看待失败呢?作者从失败的简历开始,告诉读者不只是考虑我们做错了什么,而且要正确看待失败,把我们的失败当作学习工具,分析失败的原因,保持积极的态度,把失败变成经验教训,继续前进,走向成功。
