Just because we forget that failure is part of our life. Most parents try hard to prevent their children from knowing that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. When a girl makes a table, her mother would say “great”, though the table isn’t good at all. Another way is to blame (责备) others. If John fails science, his mother will say his teacher is unfair (不公平) or foolish. There is a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. Young children need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time. Failure hurts both children and their parents. But it can be really good to your life when you learn from it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can do better. If someone else can help, don’t be shy to ask them. 39. According to the passage, when students fail, their parents often________. A. blame them and their teachers B. encourage them to stand up again C. try not to tell them the truth D. tell their teachers about it 40.

B. £20. C. £30. D. £40. B Why are many people afraid to fail? Just because we forget that failure is part of our life. Most parents try hard to prevent their children from knowing that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. When a girl makes a table, her mother would say “great”, though the table isn’t good at all. Another way is to blame (责备) others. If John fails science, his mother will say his teacher is unfair (不公平) or foolish. There is a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. Young children need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time. Failure hurts both children and their parents. But it can be really good to your life when you learn from it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can do better. If someone else can help, don’t be shy to ask them. 39. According to the passage, when students fail, their parents often________. A. blame them and their teachers B. encourage them to stand up again C. try not to tell them the truth D. tell their teachers about it 40. When we fail, the writer thinks we should do all the following EXCEPT________. A. find out the reasons for our failure B. think about how to do it better C. ask others for help if possible D. blame ourselves instead of others 41. Which of the following is the best title for this article? A. Learning from Failure B. Ways of Preventing Failure C. Reasons for Failure D. Getting Pleasure from Failure C With the development of science and technology, more and more changes have appeared in our society and lives, such as a smart home. It is controlled by a group of connected devices (设备). These devices work together to control things like security (安全), temperature and entertainment (娱乐). The smart security system makes it easier to see each other and communicate through home cameras from anywhere. Have you ever locked your keys inside your home? Not a problem! The smart security system can lock or unlock the front door without a key. When it’s cold outside, most people want their homes to be warm. A smart temperature controller will remember what time people arrive home every day and make sure it’s nice and warm when they walk in. Smart speakers also make homes smarter. They listen for a special word or phrase and then follow the order that is given to them. A smart speaker might respond to “Please play my favorite music” or “Remind me to finish my homework later”. Living in a smart home sounds cool, doesn’t it? As time goes on, we’re sure to find more ways to make our homes smarter! 42. What is making our world become smarter and smarter? A. The smart home. B. Communication. C. The smart speaker. D. Science and technology. 43. What can the smart security system do? A. It can keep your home warm enough B. It can follow orders given to it. C.
