Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simple because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child’s hastily made table as “Perfect!” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to shift(转移)blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
The trouble with failure prevention is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour roll on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort, prize or say “It doesn’t matter.” because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master it.
Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grownups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “Why did it fail? Don’t blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about inquiring. Success, which encourages repetition of old behaviour, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can cause fresh thinking, a change of direction. After twelve years of studying ballet, a friend of mine applied for a professional company. She asked. That ballet master shook his head. “You will never be a dancer,” he said,” you haven’t the body for it.”
In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock bravely asking “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where she’s both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there’s less to lose. Often there is recovery of energy — a way to find new possibilities.
1.The first paragraph tells us ______.
A. failure is very natural for every person
B. the reason why we don’t know how to fail
C. the reason why so many people are afraid of failure
D. one should be ready to face failure at any time
2.How many preventions may parents use when a child fails according to the passage?
A. only two B. no more than three C. less than three D. more than three
3. Which statement below does the writer support?
A. Failure is as good an experience as success.
B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Failure is far from a good teacher like success.
D. Definitive failure gives us nothing but fresh thinking.
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
A. failure is the recovery of energy
B. failure makes one free to do something dangerous
C. failure should be forgotten in our life
D. failure is likely to do us good in life

Why are so many people afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. 1.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child's hastily made table as "Perfect!" in spite of its uneven legs. Another way is to pin the blame on someone else. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
The trouble with failure-prevention ways is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time—and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win. A child who is not invited to a birthday party, who does not make the honor roll on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. 2. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment, and be helped to master it.
Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts adults and children alike. 3. Step one is to ask "Why did I fail?" Resist the natural impulse (冲动) to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don't be shy about inquiring.
Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a disastrous party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. 4. After 12 years of studying ballet a friend of mine went to an interview for a professional company. She was turned down. "Would further training help?" she asked. The ballet master shook his head. "You will never be a dancer. You haven't the body for it."
In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock (清点存货，清理) bravely asking "What have I left? What else can I do?" My friend put away her toe shoes and moved into dance therapy, a field where she's both competent and useful. 5. Often there is a resurgence (复活) of energy--an awareness of new possibilities.
A. Even a failure that seems definite can promote fresh thinking, a change of direction.
B. However, it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it.
C. You can also learn that failure is the mother of success.
D. And we forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
E. Failure frees one to take risks because there's little to lose.
F. So be strong and never lose heart in the face of failure.
G. But parents should not offer a quick comfort, prize or say, "It doesn't matter" because it does.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
No one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. Strangely, though, most people seem unprepared for disappointment and react to it in negative ways. They feel depressed or try to escape from their troubles instead of using disappointment as an opportunity for growth.
One negative reaction to disappointment is depression. A woman trying to win a promotion, for example, works hard for over a year in her department. Helen is so sure she will get the promotion. However, the boss names one of Helen’s co-workers for the spot. Deeply depressed, Helen loses her enthusiasm for her job and can barely force herself to show up every day. Helen tells herself that she is a failure and that doing a good job just isn’t worth the work.
Another negative reaction to disappointment is the desire to escape. Kevin fails to get into the college his brother is attending, the college that was the focus of all his dreams, and decides to escape his disappointment. Why worry about college at all? Instead, he covers up his real feelings by giving up on his school-work and getting completely involved with friends, parties, and “good times”.
The positive way to react to disappointment is to use it as a chance for growth. This isn’t easy, but it's the only useful way to deal with an inevitable part of life. Helen, the woman who was not promoted, could have handled her disappointment by looking at other options. If her boss did not recognize her talent and hard work, perhaps she could transfer to another department. Or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she could prepare for the next promotion. Kevin, the boy who didn't get into the college of his choice, should look into other schools. Going to another college may encourage him to be his own person, step out of his brother's shadow, and realize that being turned down by one college isn't a final judgment on his abilities or potential.
Disappointments are unwelcome, but regular visitors to everyone’s life. We can feel depressed about them or we can try to escape from them. The best thing, though, is to accept a disappointment and then try to use it somehow: Step over the unwelcome visitor on the doorstep and get on with life.
1.In this passage, the author _____.
A. analyzes the cause of disappointment
B. describes his personal experience in dealing with disappointment
C. criticizes Helen and Kevin's negative responses to disappointment
D. offers specific examples of the ways people deal with disappointment
2.From the context, the word “option” (Para.4) means _____.
A. way B. choice
C. place D. job
3.In the author's opinion, Helen should ______ instead of feeling depressed.
A. work even harder to get better than her promoted co-worker
B. stand the pressure and competition
C. win a good opinion from the boss by seeking his advice
D. move into another department to have her talent and hard work appreciated
4.Which of the following best expresses the main ides of this selection?
A. Disappointment is an inevitable part of life and we have to handle it in a positive way.
B. Life is made up of a series of disappointments. We have to accept them.
C. There are two kinds of reactions to disappointment.
D. Most people react to disappointment in negative ways.
