24、Mr. King was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night， three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.

  Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418， a very small room， was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars： ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.

  Mr. King soon began to feel sorry. "Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as price for that small room. " he thought. He called his assistant over and said， "Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room."

  The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there， he started to think， "How can three men divide five dollars? I'll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back， and Mr. King will never know. " So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

25、   We are all encouraged to work hard and succeed in life. _________ Perhaps you are afraid of failure, or even think it’s shameful to fail. If you visit the Museum of Failure in Shanghai, you might change your mind. Samuel West, a Swedish psychologist (心理学家), set up the museum. The museum shows more than 100 failed products. Some of them were made by the most famous and successful companies in the world.

For example, in 1993, Apple made the Newton Message pad (掌上电脑) which could be used to take electronic notes by hand. But it couldn’t recognize (识别) handwriting very well. Apple stopped making it in 1997. Coca-Cola once developed a coffee-flavored soda (苏打水) in 2006. The company wanted to catch up with people’s growing love for coffee, but the product was taken off the market in 2008.

West said the failed products are not shown to make fun of these companies. He thinks success stories are all similar. He is tired of reading and hearing the same boring stories. As German-American physicist Albert Einstein once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

This idea has been welcomed by many big companies. Silicon Valley, for example, is home to some of the world’s most innovate (创新的) tech companies. A common slogan (口号) there is “Fail fast, fail often.”

There are reasons for this. “The best companies are those that encourage failure, embrace (拥抱) out-of-the-box thinking and allow their staff to make mistakes and see what happens.” Simon Casuto wrote for Forbes.

It seems that failure isn’t always a bad thing. The key is whether or not you can learn from your mistakes.

【1】Which of the following sentences can be put in the __________?

A.And the secret to success is working hard and believing in yourselves.

B.And it is important to learn how to be successful in life.

C.But success is not important at all for those excellent companies.

D.But failure is still a common part of everyone’s life.

【2】Samuel West set up the Museum of Failure _________.

A.to catch up with people’s growing love for coffee

B.to make fun of these companies

C.to stop people making the similar mistakes

D.to tell people failure might be something good

【3】The writer tried to support his idea mainly by _________.

A.listing examples

B.imagining stories

C.making comparisons

D.listing numbers

【4】What does the underlined sentences “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” mean according to the passage?

A.It means it’s not necessary to try anything new.

B.It means there are some people who never make mistakes.

C.It means once you make mistakes often, you can surely create new things.

D.It means making mistakes is common when trying new things.

26、One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was so excited about it for the first two days that she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”

 Li Yu liked it, too. “Group members first discuss,” he said, “and then present to the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” This was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes to improve students’ abilities to study by themselves and work in groups.” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.

However, the reform has demanded more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.

 “The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful.” added Zhang Ming.

27、The junior high school graduates have to take a P.E. test in many places around China. The full marks are usually 30 points and it means much in the senior high school entrance exam.
