"Really?Why are you saying that?Who are you?"asked the boy.

This is self-protection,according to a professor at the Norwegian School of Economics.Most of us want to think of ourselves as excellent,so failure may be bad for our self-confidence. Luckily,there are students to suggest that there are some methods of helping us deal with the bad feelings around failure. 28 Instead of asking "Why did I fail?"we could ask "Why did Sam fail?",for example. Many studies show that using a third-person perspective helps to reduce our bad feelings.It allows us to look at failure more positively. The second method is to offer advice to others who may be in the same situation.29 Both adults and children were asked to give advice based on their own failures.Professors found that helping others could help people understand their experience and what they had leamed. _30But it now seems that we should be saying,"Fail again.Fail more wisely."Failure can't be avoided in life.However,we may find the road to success easily by learning. A.But is this actually true? B.A famous writer once said,"Fail again.Fail better." C.Why is it so important for us to learn from mistakes? D.One of them is to use a third-person perspective. E.This method led to better levels of success in the test groups. F.It doesn't feel good,so we respond to failure in emotional ways. 第三节信息匹配 以下材料分别介绍了深圳本地的六项青少年实践活动。请根据以下5位同学的个人需求与兴趣，为 他们匹配合适的实践活动。（共5小题，每小题1.5分】 A.Shenzhen Bay Clean-Up Pick up trash at mangrove wetlands every Sunday(9-11 AM).Get a 2-hour service certificate cach time.
