15、In one way, it may be thought that failure（失败）is a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.

The \"spider-story\" is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(电灯泡) , made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.

So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spir¬it then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?

Second, is the goal(目标) you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: \"If I am successful in this, where will it get me?\" This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn't be doing anyway.

The third thing to remember about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to \"live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, \"You can't win them all. “

1．（小题1）Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that .

A．people who fail are not lonely B．animals can help people sometimes C．nature will help us if we are hard-working D．confidence is important for one to be successful 2．（小题2）Edison's example shows us that .

19、As we know ,the environment around us is getting worse and worse. Some chemical factories always pour waste water into the stream. And they also produce terrible gas. In some places, some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment.

How to protect the environment? First, as a student, we should use cloth bags instead of plastic bags when we go

shopping. Second , we had better reuse the old textbooks as possible as we can. Third, we should never forget to turn off

the lights when we leave the classrooms. In a word , we must try our best to protect our environment. I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.
