But sometimes it’s good to make mistakes, and here are the reasons. First, one good thing about mistakes is that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things. When you are trying new things, you are growing up. If you never try new things, how can you do better? How can you make new things? Looking around, you’ll find everything you see is the result of someone trying new things. Another good thing about mistakes is when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Edison tried 10,000 times before he made the light bulb (灯泡). People asked him how he felt about so many failures (失败). He said that he learned 10,000 materials that didn’t work. Finally, when you make mistakes, you are much closer to success. It doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes with no thinking. In fact, when you try new things, you have to think them over. So you can keep away from some other mistakes. There is an old saying: if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough. So be brave, and make mistakes to grow up, to learn and to succeed. 1．Does the writer think it’s good to make mistakes? 2．What did Edison say about his failures? 3．How many good things about making mistakes does the writer talk about? 4．Are you afraid of making mistakes? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Yes. 2．He said that he learned 10,000 materials that didn’t work. 3．Three/3. 4．Yes. Because I’m afraid people will laugh at me.（答案不唯一） 【导语】本文介绍了犯错误的几个好处，鼓励人们勇于尝试新事物，不怕犯错。 1．根据“But sometimes it’s good to make mistakes, and here are the reasons.”可知，作者认为有时候犯错是件好事，故填Yes. 2．根据“People asked him how he felt about so many failures (失败).

Think about your past. Take a minute to ask yourself: What did I use to do for fun? And what have I done that made me feel proud? It can be something big or small.

Trying new activities can help you discover new talents. You can start by trying something easy, like a one-day pottery (陶艺) class. Last weekend, my friend Tom tried a new sport called Pickleball. He found it interesting to play and he did it better than most children at his age. He has decided it’s something he will keep doing. Take personality tests.

Indeed, it’s a fairy tale about a guy named Sam that wants another guy to eat green eggs and ham. The other guy doesn’t want to try them because he doesn’t like them. The story is all about trying new things. It helps you keep an open mind. I think it’s very important to keep an open mind in life because it helps us to look at the world in a different way. It opens us up to more possibilities in life. I ever did a survey among my students. Many students tell me this is boring, or that is boring. When I ask about studying English, they say it’s boring. When I ask about the Spring Festival, they say it’s boring. If you feel everything is boring, you are not trying new things. You’re not exercising your mind. The mind is like a muscle that must be exercised to grow and develop. Trying new things is a great way to do it. Doing special, personal, different, and interesting things is a good way to exercise the mind and develop new ways of thinking about the world around us.

By involving (使参加) students in these activities, teachers can build an environment that encourages active involvement and deep thinking. Drama and role-playing can be used in different subjects, from English and history to science and maths. Teachers can design activities that allow students to learn in an experiential (试验的) way. By using drama and role-playing, teachers can make students get involved actively in their own learning. Drama and role-playing activities provide safe space for learners to experiment with a new language without the fear of real-world results. This experimentation develops confidence (自信) in speaking and using the language. Learners are encouraged to try new things and make mistakes that are important parts of learning. Through role-playing, students can have a deeper understanding of historical events, literary characters, or social matters by stepping into the shoes of different persons. This experience helps them develop empathy (同感), see the world from different points of view and manage their own emotions (感情). Drama and role-playing activities also add fun and excitement to learning. They create memorable experiences that help students understand and keep information, and leave a lasting influence on students. Drama and role-playing activities require students to work together and have good communication. By taking on different roles, students learn to listen to others, discuss with each other, understand different opinions, solve problems, and work as a team. Students can carry the skills with them beyond the classroom. 1．If a teacher wants to deepen students’ learning experiences, what can he or she do according to the passage? 2．Why do drama and role-playing activities make learners feel safe? 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? 4．Why does the writer write this passage? 5．What would you like to say to your English teacher after reading the passage? 【答案】1．He or she can use drama and role-playing activities (in the classroom). 2．Because learners can experiment with a new language without the fear of real-world results. 3．Students. 4．To tell us the importance/advantages of drama and role-playing./To remind us to use drama and role-playing in our study./To make us know about drama and role-playing.

But sometimes it’s good to make mistakes, and here are the reasons. First, one good thing about mistakes is that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things. When you are trying new things, you are growing up. If you never try new things, how can you do better? How can you make new things? Looking around, you’ll find everything you see is the result of someone trying new things. Another good thing about mistakes is when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Edison tried 10,000 times before he made the light bulb (灯泡). People asked him how he felt about so many failures (失败). He said that he learned 10,000 materials that didn’t work. Finally, when you make mistakes, you are much closer to success. It doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes with no thinking. In fact, when you try new things, you have to think them over. So you can keep away from some other mistakes. There is an old saying: if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough. So be brave, and make mistakes to grow up, to learn and to succeed. 1．Does the writer think it’s good to make mistakes? 2．What did Edison say about his failures? 3．How many good things about making mistakes does the writer talk about? 4．Are you afraid of making mistakes? Why or why not? In a small town, there lived a man named Jack who was known for his love of adventure (冒险) and trying new things. One day, he decided to go hiking in the near mountains. On the way, Jack saw two paths: one familiar (熟悉的) and well-traveled, and the other deserted and overgrown. He chose the unfamiliar path this time, thinking he might discover something new. However, after walking for a while, he began to trip over trees and gradually (逐渐地) lost his way. After several hours of hard work, he finally found that it was a view he had seen countless times before. He was disappointed because he realized that he could have taken the easier path and easily enjoyed the views without going through so much trouble. The next day, Jack met his friend Sarah. She told Jack that this was her first time hiking in that mountain. Sarah said, “But I checked the reviews online and asked some friends for advice, and they all told me not to take that grassy road because it was too difficult.” After listening to this, Jack realized he could actually avoid mistakes by listening to lessons of others. There are two choices in life: one is to learn through hardship, and the other is to learn easily through the lessons of others. ___________________ 1．Why did Jack choose the unfamiliar path? （不超过 10个词） 2．How did Jack feel after getting lost in the mountains? （不超过5个词） 3．What would the writer say at the end of the text? （不超过10个词） 阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 Li Xiaoxia, a 57-year-old retired high school English teacher, has become an unexpected Internet star known as “Sister Xia, the Yantai Apple Lady.” By advertising her hometown apples in fluent (流利的) English through short videos, she has won the hearts of over 150,000 fans.

It is a country in Southeast Asia. I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday. Now we are staying in Bangkok. It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. My mother bought a nice wallet. My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts. Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy (辛辣的) for me.

What are you good at? It’s okay if you find it hard to answer this question. Everyone has a special talent, even if they don’t know it yet. The tips below may help you discover your hidden talents. Think about your past. Take a minute to ask yourself: What did I use to do for fun? And what have I done that made me feel proud? It can be something big or small. Maybe it was an art project or some good advice you gave to a friend. Your past hobbies and successes can give you clues (线索) about your hidden talents. Ask others. The people around you may see your talents more clearly. Ask your friends, family, or teachers what they think you’ re good at. You may be surprised by their answers. Try new things. Trying new activities can help you discover new talents. You can start by trying something easy, like a one-day pottery (陶艺) class. Last weekend, my friend Tom tried a new sport called Pickleball. He found it interesting to play and he did it better than most children at his age. He has decided it’s something he will keep doing. Take personality tests. Personality tests, like the MBTI test, can also help. For example, if you get INFP or mediator (调解者), you may have a hidden talent for understanding others or solving problems in creative ways. 1．What’s the main idea of the text? 2．List two ways to help discover your hidden talents. 3．What sport does Tom like doing now? 4．What are you good at? How have you discovered this special talent? Write 30 words or more. “Don’t be what you used to be.” The sentence is repeated many times in a book called Green Eggs and Ham. When I was little, my mom used to read a book called Green Eggs and Ham to me. At first I thought of it as a book about nice food. Indeed, it’s a fairy tale about a guy named Sam that wants another guy to eat green eggs and ham. The other guy doesn’t want to try them because he doesn’t like them. The story is all about trying new things. It helps you keep an open mind. I think it’s very important to keep an open mind in life because it helps us to look at the world in a different way. It opens us up to more possibilities in life. I ever did a survey among my students. Many students tell me this is boring, or that is boring. When I ask about studying English, they say it’s boring. When I ask about the Spring Festival, they say it’s boring. If you feel everything is boring, you are not trying new things. You’re not exercising your mind. The mind is like a muscle that must be exercised to grow and develop. Trying new things is a great way to do it. Doing special, personal, different, and interesting things is a good way to exercise the mind and develop new ways of thinking about the world around us. So please try something new very often even if it is something small like going to work in a new way, or trying a new kind of food. Let’s make our life exciting! 1．What kind of book is Green Eggs and Ham? 2．Why does the writer think it’s important to keep an open mind in life? 3．What does the writer possibly do? 4．Doing special things is the only way to exercise the mind, isn’t it? 5．What’s the main idea of this passage? Once in a small village with green hills and clear streams (小溪), there was a young boy named Peter. Peter loved to try new things, but often, he failed. Peter decided to climb the highest hill near his village. The people said, “It’s too hard, Peter! No one has ever made it to the top.” But Peter wanted to try. He started climbing early in the morning. The path (道路) was filled with lots of dangerous rocks. Halfway up, Peter fell down and hurt his knee. Sitting there, he thought about going back. Then, he saw a little ant (蚂蚁) trying to carry a big leaf (树叶). The leaf dropped many times, but the ant kept trying. Seeing that, Peter thought, “If that little ant can keep trying, so can I.” Feeling stronger, Peter got up and kept climbing, step by step. After a long time, as the sun was setting, Peter reached the top. He saw his whole village and the beautiful streams below. It was wonderful!

I want to share my travel experiences, which were both fun and educational (有教育意义的), in a way that is easy for everyone to understand. Planning is very important before any trip.

Then, we made a list of things to take with us, like clothes, snacks, and a camera to keep sweet memories for us. When we reached our destination (目的地), I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Every place we visited had its own story and people who lived there, and I learned a lot just by looking around and talking to them. It was exciting for me to see so many new sights. Moreover, I tasted new fruits that grew in the mountains and ate seafood that was caught in the sea that same day. Some foods were strange at first, but I found that it was fun to try new things. Travelling taught me so much. Seeing new places made me curious (好奇的) about the world and want to learn more.

This experimentation develops confidence (自信) in speaking and using the language. Learners are encouraged to try new things and make mistakes that are important parts of learning. Through role-playing, students can have a deeper understanding of historical events, literary characters, or social matters by stepping into the shoes of different persons. This experience helps them develop empathy (同感), see the world from different points of view and manage their own emotions (感情). Drama and role-playing activities also add fun and excitement to learning. They create memorable experiences that help students understand and keep information, and leave a lasting influence on students. Drama and role-playing activities require students to work together and have good communication. By taking on different roles, students learn to listen to others, discuss with each other, understand different opinions, solve problems, and work as a team. Students can carry the skills with them beyond the classroom. 1．If a teacher wants to deepen students’ learning experiences, what can he or she do according to the passage? 2．Why do drama and role-playing activities make learners feel safe? 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? 4．Why does the writer write this passage? 5．What would you like to say to your English teacher after reading the passage? 12 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 13 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
