Because in some ways, it is.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And thats only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. Weve been scolded when we make mistakesat home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and errortrying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakeswe have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we dont just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You dont just read about painting, or writing, or puter programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until youve pretty much learned how to do something. Thats how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something newbecause if you succeed at something, its probably something you already knew how to do. You havent really grown much from that successat most its the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if its a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.60. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes? A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot. B. Because its a natural part in our life. C. Because weve been taught so from a young age. D. Because mistakes have ruined many peoples careers.61. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes? A. We should try to avoid making mistakes. B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes. C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn. D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.62. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means . A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to draw C. a primary pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write63. We can learn from the passage that . A. most of us can really grow from success B. growing and improving are based on mistakes C. we learn to make mistakes by trial and error D. we read about something and know how to do it right away CHow do people traditionally manufacture (制造) things? They usually start with a sheet of metal, wood or other material and cut, drill (钻) and shave it to create a desired shape. Sometimes, they use a mold (模具) made of metal or sand, pour liquid plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a solid part. Now, a pletely different method is gaining popularity. On Oct. 9, xx, London Science Museum kicked off its new exhibition, 3-D: Printing the Future, with over 600 3-D printed objects on display, including space probes (探测器), toy dolls and even human organs basically any product you can think of, reported Live Science. You might find it hard to believe that an object can actually be “printed out” like a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it works. Just as a traditional printer sprays (喷洒) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape. Instead of ink, the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (树脂) and certain metals. The thinner each layer is from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair the smoother and finer the object will be. And objects always e out in one piece, sparing you the trouble of putting different parts together afterward. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost 20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now it costs only about 1,000, according to the BBC. In fact, 3-D printers have been around for some time, but until recently they hadnt been very popular since few people could afford them. Last year, though, saw a big decrease in the price of 3-D printers. However, as 3-D printing technology bees more monplace, it may trigger certain problems. One of them is piracy (盗版). “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-D printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?” an expert on 3-D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, the worlds first 3-D printed gun was successfully fired in the US in May of this year, which means that 3-D printing could potentially give more people access to weapons.64. According to the article, in the future, 3-D printing technology will probably _.A. change the way people make products B. be applied as widely in our daily lives as puters C. forbid many countries to make purchases of weaponsD. take the place of normal printers and save lots of energy65. What was the big event that happened in the 3-D printing industry last year?A. Over 600 3-D printed objects were on display in an exhibition.B. 3-D printing technology came to be used in various fields.C. The worlds first 3-D printed gun was successfully made.D. The 3-D printer became more affordable for consumers.66. What is the authors attitude toward 3-D printing technology?A. Amused. B. Objective.C. Supportive. D. Negative. D World travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travelers to plan their trips online. Virtual tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new, has seen some tourism websites grow to host over one-million users. Typically, this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question.Tips and information are not provided by a single source, such as the website host, but rather from travelers themselves-often in the thousands. This has proven to be exceptionally beneficial for would-be travelers who are seeking infomtation on questions such as where to find the best museum or beach; whether it is better to tour Brussels with a bicycle or on foot; and which exchange rate bureaus are available in Italy. Questions about food and restaurants; tourist spots; safety; acmodation; and others are all answered. In addition, posted tips promote better preparation, such as what to pack when heading for Sicily(西西里岛). Apart from the useful tips, visual images and virtual tours have also been made available.If youd like to visit the Eiffel Tower, its a good idea to view the surrounding areas; to pick a safer train route; or to know that its very close to the Seine River and that a walk along it would enhance the experience. Virtual tours have sprung up globally.In South Africa, John Gore established the Virtual Tour Guide in November last year. On his blog, Gore was quoted a saying, The world is panoramic(全景的). We are able to tum our heads and look in all directions and get a feel for where we are, but the typical photograph cannot show or describe that experience pletely. However, there is ananswer-technology makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360 degree panoramic way, which really makes the viewer feel as though he or she is really there.67. Why is virtual tourism more and more popular?A. Online games are more and more attractive.B. Many new websites appear and develop fast.C. More and more people want to travel abroad.D. It helps travelers save as much money as possible.68. From the second paragraph we knowA. we can solve any problem on websitesB. websites offer all the tips
