24、Madame Tussauds is a wax(蜡像) museum in London, UK. French artist Marie Tussaud founded this museum over 200 years ago. It shows waxworks of famous and historic people, as well as popular film characters.

There are 16 Madame Tussauds in many big cities around the world, including New York, Tokyo and Sydney. The newly-opened Beijing museum is the fourth Madame Tussaud in China, following Hong Kong, Shanghai and Wuhan.

Each year, Madame Tussauds Studio makes about 40 to 50 figures. It takes nearly four months to make each sculpture, from getting the subject’s physical measurements to completing the work. Most famous people love to be portrayed(描绘) in wax. Some even donate their own clothes for the works. Boris Johnson, mayor of London, took off his suit and donated it after his sitting. His trousers still have a small hole that he tore(撕裂) on his bicycle chain.

However, Madame Tussauds is about more than just wax figures. It plays a role as a witness(见证者) to history. “For most people, history is biography and the story of famous people, and Tussauds are always good at portraying them,” Pamela Pilbeam, author of Madam Tussaud and the History of Waxworks, told The Guardian.

【1】There are ______ Madame Tussauds in China, according to the story.

A．only one

B．two

C．three

D．four

【2】It takes ______ months for each sculpture to be made.

A．two

B．three

C．four

D．five

【3】What can be inferred form the story?

A．There are 18 Madame Tussauds in the world.

B．It takes exactly half a year to make each sculpture.

C．Not all famous people like to be portrayed in wax.

D．Madame Tussauds never portrays movie characters.

【4】______ donated his/her clothes for his/her sculpture.

A．Madame Tussauds

B．Boris Johnson

C．Pamela Pilbeam

D．Jackie Char

【5】What might be a good title for this story?

A．Famous actors love Tussauds

B．The function of Madame Tussauds

C．Madame Tussauds—A Witness to History

D．The origin of Madame Tussauds

25、   Most of us fear failure. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. In fact, the word success comes from the Latin succedere, meaning “to come after.” And what does success usually come after? Failure. It seems that one cannot exist without the other.

Every failure – even the worst ones – helps us learn to do things differently in the future. “Learning from the past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully,” says mountaineer Pete  Athans, who  has now reached  the world’s  highest peak (山峰) seven times. Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong – sometimes with terrible results.

Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks without extra oxygen (氧气). In 2007, while climbing in Nepal, she was in an avalanche ( 雪 崩 ). She survived, but two nearby Spanish climbers died. The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is, bad things can still happen. But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.

Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures because our good name depends on success. However, things are slowly changing. In the past ten years, some scientific magazines – mostly in medicine – have published reports of failed experiments. The belief is that the science community can also learn from “negative” results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.

The business world already understands the value of negative results. Eli Lilly and Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn’t work. In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures became one of its biggest successes. In the early 1990s, Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton. It was one of Apple’s biggest failures. However, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, believed the product had potential (潜力) and he began to improve it. In time, this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company’s most successful products.

The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. There is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. One truly cannot exist without the other.

【1】The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to   .

A.show how bad things can become important lessons

B.tell us that it’s possible for anyone to be successful

C.prove how bad things can happen in any situation

D.teach us what not to do when climbing mountains

【2】The underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 4 probably means “   ”.

A.unable B.unsure C.unwilling D.uninterested

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A.An attitude towards failure.

B.The experience of success.

C.A difficult way to success.

D.The rewards of failure.

My First Job

When I was 16, I got a weekend job as a cleaner in a hotel. It paid the usual payment of £5 an hour. Anyway, cleaning couldn’t be that difficult, could it?

There was a lot more to the job than you might expect. First, I’d collect all the things I needed and put them in my cart. Then I set to work on cleaning the rooms. I made the beds, cleaned the baths, and did some other work. It wasn’t fun. In fact, it was unpleasant, especially at the beginning. The first time I made a bed, I didn’t do it correctly, and the manager made cart me do it all over again. One of my workmates showed me what to do and I took notes, just like I did in school. It took ages for me to get it right but when I did, I felt happy and confident.

Although it wasn’t well paid, the job enabled me to party with my friends. It wasn’t just the money that made it all worthwhile. For the first time I was able to spend time with adults other than my parents and teachers. If I didn’t want to do the work, these grown-ups wouldn’t try to force me to do it. It was up to me to push myself. That was one very important lesson for me to learn and one I never got taught in school.

My time at the hotel also taught me that you can learn new skills from any kind of work, even a job you never thought you’d do. And at the same time, it showed me where I didn’t want to be in the future. And I didn’t want to be in a hotel cleaning for the rest of my life. I was looking for something a lot more challenging.

【1】What did the writer think of her job when she started doing it?

A．Interesting.

B．Easy.

C．Unpleasant.

D．Unimportant.

【2】Who pushed the writer to work when she didn’t want to?

A．The writer herself.

B．Her parents.

C．The hotel manager.

D．Her workmates.

【3】From the story, we know that the writer ________.

A．regretted doing the job

B．disliked her workmates

C．was satisfied with the payment

D．was open to learning new things
