The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱) . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.At that moment, I thought to myself, Why arent most adults this way? Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and dont even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that theyre not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure(失败) .However, with kids, when they fall down, they dont consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected falling down with the word failure. Whats more, they probably think to themselves that its quite okay to fall down and that its not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.I was deeply impressed by the boys persistence(坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.（1）What did the little boy do when he fell down? A . He cried and lay on the grass.B . He asked his mother for help.C . He got up and went on running.D . He got up and stood there crying.（2）In the writers opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as? A . A failure.B . A joke.C . An interesting game.D . A learning experience.（3）In the writers opinion, why cant many adults succeed? A . Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.B . Because they cant find a good excuse.C . Because once they fail, they wont attempt again.D . Because they dont allow themselves to make mistakes.（4）The underlined word attempt in Paragraph 2 means . A . 尝试B . 放弃C . 面对D . 怀疑（5）What does the writer want to tell us? A . Practice makes perfect.B . Failure is the mother of success.C . All roads lead to Rome.D . Each coin has two sides.18. （6分）阅读理解Do you know the Homework (作业) Club (俱乐部) in US schools? The students do their homework in the afternoon at these clubs. Why do they have the club?
