Because in some ways, it is. Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And thats only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. Weve been scolded when we make mistakesat home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible. By trial and errortrying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakeswe have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we dont just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You dont just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually then you construct a model in your mind then you test it out by trying it in the real world then you make mistakes then you revise the model based on the results of your real-world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until youve pretty much learned how to do something. Thats how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something newbecause if you succeed at something, its probably something you already knew how to do. You havent really grown much from that successat most its the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if its a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.56. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot. B. Because its a natural part in our life. C. Because weve been taught so from a young age. D. Because mistakes have ruined many peoples careers. 57. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn. D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.58. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph Six probably means _. A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to drawC. a primary pupil learning to readD. a school teenager learning to write59. We can learn from the passage that _.A. most of us can really grow from successB. growing and improving are based on mistakes C. mistakes are the most precious things in the worldD. we read about something and know how to do it right away B(BBC News April 18) All flights in and out of the UK and several other European countries have been cancelled as ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland moves south.Up to 4,000 flights are being cancelled with airspace closed in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark among others. The UKs air traffic control service (Nats) said no flights would be allowed in UK airspace until at least 07:00 BST on Friday for fear of engine damage. Safety group Eurocontrol said the problem could last for 48 hours. The volcano is still erupting and the wind direction is expected to continue bringing clouds into UK and European airspace for some time to come.The UKs airspace restriction was the worst in living memory, a Nats spokesman said. Some 600,000 people are thought to have been affected. Nats suggested that the restrictions were unlikely to be lifted (解除) after 07:00, saying it was “very unlikely that the situation over England will improve in the foreseeable future”. Passengers were advised to contact their carriers before travelling. Transport Secretary Lord Adonis said he was “closely monitoring the situation” and would be meeting with key transport officials on Friday morning. Experts have warned that the tiny particles of rock, glass and sand contained in the ash cloud from the still-erupting volcano could be sufficient to jam aircraft engines.The Health Protection Agency said the ash from the eruption did not bring a significant risk to public health because of its high altitude. However, the British Lung Foundation has warned people with lung conditions to keep their medication (醫(yī)療護理) with them as a precautionary measure. These are some of the knock-on effects: Eurocontrol says Germany is monitoring the situation and considering partial airspace closures. The two main airports in Paris and many others in the north of France are closing. There is severe disruption (崩潰) in France and Spain, where all northbound flights are cancelled. Nats is due to make an announcement shortly as to the arrangements that will be in place through to 13:00 BST on Friday. British Airways offers refunds or an option to rebook after all its domestic flights are suspended. Flybe announces it has cancelled all flights up until 13:00 BST on Friday and more than 25 services due to run after that. British sports teams have been hit by travel problems after flights were grounded. 60. What may passengers do on hearing the news according to the passage?A. They may cancel their international flights. B. They may contact the airlines before traveling.C. They may take measures to protect their lungs from the ash. D. They may stay indoors till the volcanic eruption dies down. 61. Why have some European countries cancelled flights after the volcanic eruption?A. Because the volcanic ash may make passengers ill.B. Because people refuse to take the international flights.C. Because the volcanic ash may jam or damage the engine.D. Because the flights may be hit by the rocks from the eruption.62. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. All the flights are likely to return to normal in 48 hours. B. British people had experienced a worse airspace restriction before that.C. Germany is monitoring the situation and considering closing all airspace. D. The UK airspace restrictions are unlikely to be lifted in the foreseeable future. CHow has smoking been controlled in recent years? People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public placessuch as doctors surgeries, cinemas, theatres and churchesover the second half of the 20th century but it was after the Kings Cross Underground fire on November 18, 1987, caused by a cigarette end which resulted in 31 deaths, that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance. How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place? In 1998 the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence (流行) and passive smoking, including in public places. The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out. After a public conference in England in 2004, the Government decided to choose for lawmaking. Scotland went first, with a ban in 2006, followed by the other nations a year later. What is the current law? Any person who smokes in enclosed public places, including pubs, offices, on public transport and work vehicles, is breaking the law. It does not extend to private houses. It is also an offence for people in charge of premises (營業(yè)場所) to permit others to smoke in them. How was it received? It was welcomed by most organizationsexcept for some pub owners and restaurateurs. Many workplaces in the UK had already introduced smoke-free policies consistent with the legislation (法律，法規(guī)) before it was carried out, while others have gone beyond its basic requirements. All railway facilities, including platforms, footbridges and other areaswhether or not fitting the definition of an enclosed public spaceare covered, as are all football grounds and some cricket and athletics stadiums. School grounds are not required to be smoke-free under the legislation, but the majority now are. How has it been forced? Compliance (服從) in public premises has been high, with inspections suggesting that 99 per cent of places were sticking to the rules. The number of people charged for smoking in cars has been very low, which was due to the problems defining
