In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.The “spider story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web（网）. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(电灯泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?Second, is the goal you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be. Think about this question: If I am successful in this, where will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldnt be doing anyway.The third thing to remember about failure is that its a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself!” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You cant live with them all.”（1）Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that _.A . people who failed are not lonelyB . animals can help people sometimesC . nature will help if we are hardworkingD . confidence is important for one to be successful（2）Edisons example shows us that _.A . he liked to do other kinds of workB . he invented many kinds of light bulbsC . failure may be a way towards successD . he was a man of many important inventions（3）If you are not sure about what success will get you, youd better _.A . change your goalB . go on with your goalC . not care for thatD . work even harder on your goal（4）It can be learned from the passage that _.A . one should try not to failB . ones failure is anothers successC . one should take failures seriouslyD . one should learn lessons from failures（5）This passage is mainly about _.A . two great menB . two sides of failureC . ways to keep away from failureD . the right attitude (态度) towards failure13. （10分） That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.“Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said, “Hello, Karmen. Im Henrietta.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered Henrietta to be one of my best friends.One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she still didn t turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will, which said all that she had would be given to me.

However, have you ever wondered whether this is the correct way of cooking them?In order to make the noodles joined together nicely side by side it needs some form of wax coating (石蜡涂层) in order to show an attractive instant noodles in front of us.However, researches have shown that the layer (层) of wax coating on the noodles is quite harmful to our body and we should not eat it too frequently. We should have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles as our body needs about 3 days to clear that layer of wax coating away from our body system. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating stored in our stomach? It will lead to CANCER if it is stored in our body system for a long period of time.There are 2 key points to take note while preparing instant noodles:1) Wash the instant noodles with warm water first, stir(搅和) it and pour away the water containing the wax coating.2) Repeat Step 1 and try to stir the noodles again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking it in a new pot of water.If you have eaten other types of noodles, you will notice that the store seller will wash the noodles in warm water first to keep the noodles from sticking together and for the case of instant noodles, the wax coating on the noodles is keeping the noodles from sticking together. It is very important to wash away the wax coating while preparing a meal as we dont want our body to be in danger.Hope this article will let more people have self-awareness of the hidden danger of instant noodles and thus eat safely and stay healthy.（1）What do the underlined words “ too frequently” mean? A . Too much.B . very soon.C . Too often.D . Too little.（2）The purpose of the writer is to tell us _.A . how the instant noodles are madeB . how to cook instant noodlesC . something about the layer of wax coating on the noodlesD . how to eat instant noodles safely and healthily（3）It is true according to the passage that _.A . the instant noodles are joined together in a mess as a piece.B . it is common to see the noodles nicely joined together.C . you can eat instant noodles as often as you like.D . too much wax coating does no harm to our health.（4）Many people dont care about too much of the wax coating on the instant noodles because _.A . they enjoy the taste of the wax coatingB . they take the wax coating for grantedC . they dont know the hidden danger at allD . their body clear it faster than other people（5）The function of the wax coating in the instant noodles is to _.A . make the noodles more delicious and tastyB . make it easier to cook for the consumersC . make the instant noodles healthier and more attractive to the consumersD . make the noodles joined in a piece and avoid them sticking (粘) together四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共15分)16. （5分）选择下列词汇完成下面的对话，并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。（共5小题，每小题1分）A. named B. relax C. enjoyable D. worst E. start F. bestLisa: Lily, its Saturday today.
