Are you so sure your mistakes are just mistakes? Or could they be building blocks to a success beyond any you imagined?

When my friend Dorothy goes home to visit her family each Thanksgiving, her mother serves the traditional “mistake salad”. The dish was born many years ago. Dorothy explains, when mother was using a cookbook to make a salad. In the process, mother accidentally included half the salad ingredients(原料)from a recipe(食谱)on the left side of the open cookbook, and half the ingredients from a different salad recipe on the opposite page. Everyone enjoyed the salad so much that she continue to serve it every year. So it was really not a mistake at all.

Then there was the fellow named Alfred, who invented dynamite(炸药). When Alfred’s brother died, the city newspaper confused the two and printed an abituary(讣告)saying that the dead’s most notable act was the creation of bombs. Surprised to consider that his name would forever be connected with destruction, Alfred sought to leave a more positive fame to humanity. So he set a prize for people who contributed to world peace. Now the Nobel Prize, established by Alfred Nobel, is the most respected award in the world.

Everything is part of something bigger, and mistakes are no exception. In his brilliant book Illusions, Richard Bach explains that every problem comes to you with a gift. If you focus only on what went wrong, you miss the gift. If you are willing to look deeper and ask for the bright, the problem will disappear. You are left only with the learning, and you go forward on your path.

A. Because his brother was dead in an explosion

B. Because he wanted people to connect him with peace

A. We should correct the mistake as soon as possible

B. We should find out what causes the mistake and fix it timely

C. We should look deeper and find something better from it

Every day on the road, accidents are caused. They do not only happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.

Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.

By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.

It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety actions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.

1.This passage might be written to ________ .

A．college students                        B．drivers

C．ordinary citizens                        D．businessmen

2.“Accident-prone” in Paragraph 2 means________.

A．likely to have accidents                   B．injured in accidents

C．likely to die in accidents                  D．responsible for road accidents

3.The passage suggests that ________.

A．accidents mostly result from slippery roads

B．accidents are usually caused by psychological factors

C．doctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories

D．about 50,000 people lost their lives at work in Britain every day

4.Which of the following is NOT discussed as a factor of accidents in this passage?

A．Mood            B．Carelessness       C．Tiredness         D．Weather

5.What do you think would be the best title for the passage?

A．Accidents and Human                    B．Why accidents happen

C．Human Factors in Accidents               D．How to Prevent Accidents

If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.

“It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“ Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”

The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold(折叠) back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.

The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.

The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.

The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.

The Transition’s price tag: $194,000, But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute. “If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option,” Gersh said.

So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.

1.We can learn from the first paragraph that　　　　 .

A. car- planes will be popular in 2012

B. people might drive a car-plane in 2012

C. both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land

D. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts

2.lt takes the car-plane one minute to　　　　 .

A. fold and unfold its wings

B. unfold wings for flying

C. land in the airport

D. meet flying safety regulations

3.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.

B.To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.

C.The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.

D.People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.

4.The underlined word“it”in the last but one paragraph refers to　　　　 .

A.the radio　　　　 B.the transponder

C.the GPS　　　　　　 D.the full-plane parachute

5.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly.

B.Which to Choose: A Ferraris or a Car Plane?

C. Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner.

D.Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes.
