26、Fear is something we all experience, especially when setting out on any new undertaking. Failure is one of the most common and most damaging fears that many people struggle with. 【1】. You can take a close look at your fear of failure and then work with it to shape your future success. Let’s learn how to move past your fear and to ward your goals.

【2】 . When people are mastering a skill or project, failure is a necessary part of the learning process. Embracing failure as a learning experience allows you to see it as a gift, not a punishment or sign of weakness.

Re-evaluate your approach. Often times, when a result doesn’t match our expectations, we are likely to mark the attempt as a failure. 【3】 . However, if we view our results as more or less effective, with the aim of improvement, we are able to always make positive changes. Studies show that people who are successful usually don’t encounter fewer or more setbacks than people who aren’t. The key is entirely in how you interpret those setbacks. Don’t let them convince you that success is impossible.

Take things slow. Rushing into new ventures without any personal preparation can make things worse. 【4】 . Don’t push too far outside your comfort zone all at once.

Be kind to yourself. Don’t mock your fears; they are there for a reason. Work with your fears. 【5】. The more you learn about why you have these fears and what causes them, the better you can work with them.

A．This is “all or nothing” thinking

B．Learn what doesn’t work or does

C．Recognize failures as learning experiences

D．Try to find steps towards your goals directly

E．Merely avoiding the feeling of fear is not likely

F．Work through your fear or failure at your own pace

G．Treat yourself sympathetically and with understanding

27、   Standing in line is a pain. At the post office. At the box office. At a restaurant. But on Black Friday, it’s an experience.

The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed weeks before Black Friday, often by a person in a tent. Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store, with circles around their primary targets. Someone, somewhere, will try to cut in line at a Target, arousing the anger of the people who played it fair.

At risk are both bargains and bragging rights, turning what would otherwise be a miserable experience into an adventure.

“These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we encounter day to day at the A.T.M. or in the subway,”said Richard Larson, a professor at M.I.T. who has spent years studying line behavior.

Professor Larson, whose nickname in academic circles is Dr. Queue, said he would never wait in a line on Black Friday himself. The lines, he said, are“once a year, they’re exciting. They’re the kind you might tell your grandchildren about.”

Lines test patience, personal space and principles of fairness and rationality, especially on Black Friday, when the crowds can be overwhelming. Still, the promise of a once-a-year score draws shoppers to queues that start before sunrise—or in some cases, the night before.

J. Jeffrey Inman, a veteran of Black Friday lines and president of the Society for Consumer Psychology, said that many families treat the hours long experience as a bonding ritual and a cherished tradition.

“It’s not something unimportant,”said Mr. Inman, who is also a professor of marketing at the University of Pittsburgh.“And there’s this layer of competition to it, with people edging forward, because there are only so many of those big screen TVs inside the door.”

People may actually gravitate toward longer lines, so they can feel a greater sense of accomplishment once they finally make a purchase. Professor Larson said,“Even if they don’t know what the line is for, they reason that whatever’s at the end of it must be fantastically valuable.”

【1】From the second paragraph, we can learn that _______.

A.people in Target are most likely to cut in line

B.shops will hand out store maps to shoppers

C.shoppers dislike queuing well in advance

D.queuing for Black Friday is common

【2】Which of the following statements is J. Jeffrey Inman most likely to agree with?

A.Shoppers stand in line to enjoy the pleasure of bargaining with salespeople.

B.People feel like winning if they get something after queuing for some time.

C.Standing in line on Black Friday is not an exciting experience for some people.

D.Grandchildren like hearing grandparents talking about their experience of queuing.

【3】The phrase“gravitate toward”is closest in meaning to ______.

A.turn a blind eye to B.be attracted by

C.pick up bargains in D.be cheated by

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.Why Stand in Line on Black Friday?

B.Fairness: Key to Consumer Psychology

C.Standing in Line Is a Pain, Says Professors

D.Black Friday is Getting Increasingly Valuable

28、   Carnival was originally a Catholic holiday celebrated from two days to two weeks. The festival has spread throughout the world. Here are some famous carnivals you should go to see if you have the chance.

1. Curasao, Netherland

This former territory of the Netherlands has a long parade with plenty of live soca and calypso music. No need to stand along the curb on this one though: you can plan and pay in advance to actually join one of the carnival groups and have a costume waiting for them when they arrive.

2. Nice, France

The Nice Carnival entered the history books in 1294 when a prince was in attendance, but it likely goes back much further. The two-week event helps the folks on the French Riviera survive the colder days of winter.

3. Venice, Italy

Venice's Carnival has been around since 1268. There is something so classic, cool and magical about a 5-day carnival in this city of canals. Ifs all about the fine masks which were traditionally made of glass and decorated with feathers.

4. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Who doesn't think Rio when they hear the word Carnival? It is the world's largest and perhaps the most extravagant. But this 7-day festival only dates back to 1723, a newcomer when compared to Europe. Beyond the formal parade there are also many local street celebrations. The music and dancing never seem to stop.

【1】Where will you go if you want to spend money joining the carnival parade?

A.Venice, Italy.

B.Curasao, Netherland.

C.Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

D.Nice, France.

C.7 days. D.14 days.

【3】What is special about the Carnival in Rio?

D.It has the longest history in the world.

29、Some people think the government should move the big companies and factories in cities to the countryside. To what extent do you agree?

Due to the increased urbanization, there appears a bunch of heated social problems. Some people have noticed that there are many big companies and factories in the city and they believe that moving those big companies and factories into countryside could be a good way to solve many of the city problems, such as traffic issues and housing problems. However, I hold an opposite opinion to them and I will explain it as below.

Cities have much more advantages than countryside. There are more cinemas, restaurants and shopping malls in cities, let alone better education and health care. Living in cities makes life more convenient and enjoyable. Thus not everyone is willing to move to countryside in spite of their companies’ moving. They have got cars, which transfers them easily between work and home. Therefore, the pressure of traffic will not be released due to such solution. As for the available empty places spared by the big companies, the newest small companies will take good care of them—with the realization of the benefits that running a business in cities will bring to them. In other words, situation of housing will not be improved much.

Besides, there will be more problems if big companies and factories move out. Where there are big companies and factories, there will be cities sooner or later. Consequently, countryside is to be disappearing. What’s more, industrial pollution is not an easily mended problem.

In conclusion, moving big companies and factories out of cities is never a final solution. It tackles(解决) no problem but causes lots of them. Just imagine. The traffic is still terrible, and there is no more scenic countryside. We should look into other ways to solve the problems.

【1】What is the passage mainly talking about?

A. Moving big companies out of cities.

B. Getting rid of companies in the cities.

C. Crowding into the center of the cities.

D. Taking more care of the urban areas.

【2】What do people lay the blame on for social problems?

A. A number of factories and companies.

B. The rapid development of the cities.

C. The sharp increase of vehicle quantity.

D. The serious need for more houses.

【3】What does the author want to tell in the fourth paragraph?

A. It is more convenient to live in cities than countryside

B. More problems will appear once companies are moved out

C. The public transportation will play a greater role

D. More houses will be built for the poor people
