They would be so  39  that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good  40  for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.

However, for kids, things are different. When they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure. Instead, they treat it as a  41  experience. They try again and again until they  42  .The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". As a they are not discouraged in any way. Besides, they  44  think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make  45  ,so they remain energetic.

The Internet, mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.

We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.

Global positioning system (GPS)(全球定位系统)

It's a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It's made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments on land and receivers.

Space Technology

Russian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless advantages. It's even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.

Underwater Robot

Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipment. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.

The world is changing so quickly that it's hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It's important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.
