Sir Emest Shackleton was not only a great explorer, but also an intelligent man. He once found himself and two of his men at the top of an icy mountain ridge (山脊) . They had no way to get down to its side. Their destination had been the tiny Whaling Station of strummers, near the South Pole. Shackleton knew if they didn't get down from the ridge, no one would ever hear from them again.

Shackleton knew there was only one thing to do. He explained that they would all have to slide down. He instructed the two men to wind(绕) their ropes into a coil(卷) .Then each of the men sat down on a coiled and slid down the icy slope into the darkness. When they found themselves at the bottom, unhurt, Shackleton said, "You know, we shouldn't do that kind of thing too often." The laughter broke the tension all the men were feeling. They arrived later than expected, but safely at the Whaling Station.

Mistakes are not only a part of life but also necessary for a successful life. But without making use of our mistakes, we would neither go on to master any skill nor realize our goal. George Bernard Shaw said, ''A man learns to skate by staggering(摇晃)about, making a fool of himself.1.''

But some of us, terrified by possibility of failure, lose pleasure of adventures by being too concerned with what people will think.2.Sometimes some parents set impossible high standard to encourage top performance. They tell children so often that it will be a great disappointment if they do not reach the goal.3.As a result it goes against their wish.

One of the first things to realize is that success follows a natural course of trail and error. Impossible standards of perfection make us lose our peace of mid. The sooner one accepts that he is less than perfect, the sooner he can achieve his goal.4.

We often tell our children how great those inventors are, for they invent the products of man’s achievements. But what we forget to emphasize is the painful process by which these miracles came into being. We should stress that nothing comes out right the first time. The great successes in life are those few who accept responsibility for their mistakes.5.Many major achievements have resulted from adventurous mistakes, which become stepping-stones of success. They gather their strength to realize their goal, never giving up.

Accept mistakes, take a sense of homour, work hard and there is no doubt your success will come in end.

A.They can go on with great adventure.

B.In fact, no perfect things exist in the world.

C.He is taking great pain that can't be imagined.

D.These parents in fact force their children into fear of failure.

E.They never waste emotion on regrets when they make a mistake.

F.The fact is that most people never observe us so closely as we believe.

G.Indeed, he progresses in all things by not minding making a fool of himself.

Active participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’ s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (I.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, students questions, and informal lectures.

A professor’s teaching style is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question and challenge their ideas. Students who make statements that contradict the professor’s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.

Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust. The “honor system” demands that the student be honest in all areas of school work. Thus, cheating on tests, presenting others’ ideas as original, and turning in homework done by someone else are all forbidden.

Violation of the honor system can result in a student’s failing a course, having a record of the violation placed in the student’s school files, or even being driven out from the university. Students who cheat may lose the respect of other students, particularly those who study for exams and work independently. When leaving the classroom while students are taking an exam, an instructor may or may not say, “I expect you all to obey the honor system.” Even if the words are not stated, the student is expected to work alone and not to share answers.

1.    In many courses, teachers__________.

A. allow the students to participate

B. require the students to participate

C. both A and B

D. neither A nor B

2.    If a student does not agree with the professor in a lecture, the student is encouraged to    __________.

A. remain silent

B. challenge the professor

C. leave the class

D. tell the professor immediately that he is wrong

3.    If a professor believes in the “honor system,” it implies his _________.

A. suspicion of the students

B. distrust of the students

C. trust in the students

D. pride in the students

4.    Violations of the honor system do not include __________.

A. cheating

B. failing a course

C. sharing answers

D. handing in homework done by another student
