Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.11．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A．It's small in size.B．It's hidden in trees.C．It's covered with wax.D．It's hard to recognize.12．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A bee.

D．A beekeeper.13．The honey guide is special in the way ________．A．it gets its foodB．it goes to churchC．it sings in the forestD．it reaches into bees' nests14．What can be the best title for the text?A．Wild Bees B．Wax and HoneyC．Beekeeping in Africa D．HoneyLover's HelperB“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard，” wrote Oscar Wilde.“This is the only proper basis for family life.” It's hard to say what Wilde would have thought of this week's cover photo or the pictures inside of dads and their children.Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached(使分开) from the parenting process and that's just what the photographers intended.Gregory Heisler，who did the cover photograph，says he wanted the image to show genuine affections.So，rather than use professional models，he went out and found some “real dads and their real kids”. Adds Heisler, “Instead of doing some skilful，overproduced photographs，I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father.” This isn't the first time that Heisler，39，has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME.His photographs have decorated the front of the magazine some 20 times，ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie JoynerKersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for “Man of the Year” issues in 1991 and 1992，respectively.But this week's TIME cover has special meaning，he says，because he and his wife had their first child，Lucy，16 months ago.The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe.Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet，he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.Of all the pictures，Lowe was most deeply touched by the fathertobe embracing his pregnant wife.While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera，cover coordinator(协调者) Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette，who work behind the scenes，also deserve praise.Freeman，for instance，had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie stars that appears on page 62. She s ays, “My greatest reward is working with these talented artists.”Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside.“I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood，”she says.At least in this issue，those fathers are seen as well as heard.15．In this week's TIME the photographers wanted ________．A．to show Oscar Wilde's view had gone out of dateB．to show honor to the famous playwright Oscar WildeC．to support Oscar Wilde's viewD．to say sorry to Oscar Wilde16．In Oscar Wilde's view，________．A．fathers should stay actively involved in their children's livesB．there should be distance between fathers and children in family lifeC．what fathers enjoy most is family lifeD．fathers aren't sure about what they should do at home17．Jeffrey Lowe managed to show fathers' feelings accurately in his photos by ________．A．trying to experience fatherhood himselfB．spending most of his time with his pregnant wifeC．studying the relationship between each member in a familyD．mixing with many fathers and their children18．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A．Heisler has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME several times.B．Mary Worrell Bousquette is a cover coordinator.C．Lowe was most deeply touched by his pregnant wife.D．The author praises the work by the photographers and the editors.Ⅲ.完成句子19．____________________________ could Holmes settle down and dive into his logical deduction.

Unit 2 RobotsⅠ.阅读理解A(2018·南昌十校二模)I hate Black Friday sales. It's often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are completely unrelated to the festive time of the year.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child's bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (文身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions(预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

However, a recentlymade robot has demonstrated a novel ability: it can heal its own damage.The new robot, which looks like a splaylegged(弓形腿的), fourfooted starfish, can sense injury to itself and adapt. That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines. Because the robot can recov er from unfamiliar places. “There is a need for planetary robotic rovers (行星机器探测车) to be able to fix things on their own，” says Josh Bongard, a professor in the University of Ver mont, who is one of the device's creators. “Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to earth.”A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robot's movements and signal to its builtin computer. From the information it collects, the robotcreates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robot's legs, the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking—it used three legs instead of four.The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work. One spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea place might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. “We never officially named the robot, but we usually refer to it as the Starfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs，” says Bongard. “Also, a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually grow its legs again.” Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery.11．The newlydesigned robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it________．A．can communicate with people on the Earth about their problemsB．works according to a certain computer programC．can find its problems and solve them automaticallyD．can explore unfamiliar places12．An example is given in the fourth paragraph in order to explain that the robot ________．A．is used to create new programsB．has typical robot functionsC．has sensors to observe its movementsD．can gather information and adapt to new conditions13．The underlined word “resilient” in the last paragraph means the robotis________．A．creative B．newlymadeC．able to recover D．informative14．Which of the following is TRUE about the robot “Starfish”？A．It was spoken highly of by people for its special ability.B．It will stumble and fall if damaged.C．It can grow its legs again once they are broken.D．It has started to work on the ocean floor.15．What might be the best title of the passage?A．How does the Starfish robot workB．DoItYourself robots repairC．Robots designed to work on other planetsD．New robots helping us in many waysBIn the fall of 1985，I was a brighteyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twentyone years later I am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did makeit back to college fulltime. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just singleminded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your lifeon one day. It's a process. Remember：little steps add up to big dreams.16. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be________.A．a writer B．a teacherC．a judge D．a doctor17．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A．She wanted to study by herself.B．She fell in love and got married.C．She suffered from a serious illness.D．She decided to look after her grandma.18．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C．She wanted to remain a fulltime housewife.D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.19．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．Little by little，one goes far.C．Every coin has two sides.D．Well begun，half done.20．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Caring and determined.B．Honest and responsible.C．Ambitious and sensitive.D．Innocent and singleminded.Ⅲ.基础写作近年微博(microblog)在中国越来越流行。

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.11．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A．It's small in size.B．It's hidden in trees.C．It's covered with wax.D．It's hard to recognize.12．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A bee. B．A bird.C．A honey seeker. D．A beekeeper.13．The honey guide is special in the way ________．A．it gets its foodB．it goes to churchC．it sings in the forestD．it reaches into bees' nests14．What can be the best title for the text?A．Wild Bees B．Wax and HoneyC．Beekeeping in Africa D．HoneyLover's HelperB“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard，” wrote Oscar Wilde.“This is the only proper basis for family life.” It's hard to say what Wilde would have thought of this week's cover photo or the pictures inside of dads and their children.Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached(使分开) from the parenting process and that's just what the photographers intended.Gregory Heisler，who did the cover photograph，says he wanted the image to show genuine affections.So，rather than use professional models，he went out and found some “real dads and their real kids”. Adds Heisler, “Instead of doing some skilful，overproduced photographs，I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father.” This isn't the first time that Heisler，39，has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME.His photographs have decorated the front of the magazine some 20 times，ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie JoynerKersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for “Man of the Year” issues in 1991 and 1992，respectively.But this week's TIME cover has special meaning，he says，because he and his wife had their first child，Lucy，16 months ago.The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe.Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet，he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.Of all the pictures，Lowe was most deeply touched by the fathertobe embracing his pregnant wife.While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera，cover coordinator(协调者) Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette，who work behind the scenes，also deserve praise.Freeman，for instance，had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie sta rs that appears on page 62. She says, “My greatest reward is working with these talented artists.”Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside.“I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood，”she says.At least in this issue，those fathers are seen as well as heard.15．In this week's TIME the photographers wanted ________．A．to show Oscar Wilde's view had gone out of dateB．to show honor to the famous playwright Oscar WildeC．to support Oscar Wilde's viewD．to say sorry to Oscar Wilde16．In Oscar Wilde's view，________．A．fathers should stay actively involved in their children's livesB．there should be distance between fathers and children in family lifeC．what fathers enjoy most is family lifeD．fathers aren't sure about what they should do at home17．Jeffrey Lowe managed to show fathers' feelings accurately in his photos by ________．A．trying to experience fatherhood himselfB．spending most of his time with his pregnant wifeC．studying the relationship between each member in a familyD．mixing with many fathers and their children18．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A．Heisler has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME several times.B．Mary Worrell Bousquette is a cover coordinator.C．Lowe was most deeply touched by his pregnant wife.D．The author praises the work by the photographers and the editors.Ⅲ.完成句子19．____________________________ could Holmes settle down and dive into his logical deduction.

Unit 2 Robots课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·江南十校联考)Water Robots Explore the CelticSeaSicentists in England are using two self－directed water vehiches to explore the animal and plant life of the Celtic Sea.The CelticSea is a body of water off the southern coast of Ireland.The area is known for its exceptional sea life.Scientists want to know why sea animals are so attracted to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.One of the research vehicles is powered by batteries.It collects information for the National Oceanography Center in Southampton，England，and the World Wildlife Fund.The vehicle's low energy requirements permit it to stay afloat for up to 30 days.Reports of what it finds in the Celtic Sea are sent by satellite.Stephen Woodward is an engineer who helped design the craft.He says the vehicle has equipment that can detect small organisms called zooplankton and fish.He adds that other sensing devices measure water currents and other features of sea life.The vehicle also creaters a two－dimensional(二维图)map of the sea.Another vehicle is powered by solar panels and a wind turbine(涡轮机)．It can stay afloat for months.The robotic vehicle sends information about the so－called biodiversity hotspots.A biodiversity hotspot is an area of an ocean that has a lot of plant and animal life vinia Suberg is one of the scientists studying the biodiversity of the Celtic Sea.She says productive ocean areas，like the Celtic Sea，attract zooplankton.The zooplankton then attract fish.She adds that areas with a large increase of fish often attract sea mammals and birds.Using these robotic ocean vehicles greatly reduces the cost of exploring the seas with manned laboratories.Scientists can spend more time analyzing the collectedinformation.They say the research will give them a better understanding of the needs of the Celtic Sea for future management and protection.【语篇解读】本文介绍两种水下自我探测器，它们用来勘探海底动植物。

A lot，according to Northeastern psychology professor David DeSteno，and his colleagues，who are conducting a research to determine how humans decide to trust strangers.The interdisciplinary(跨学科的)research project，funded by the National Science Foundation(NSF)，is being conducted together with Cynthia Breazeal，director of the MIT Media Lab's Personal Robots Group，Robert Frank，an economist，and David Pizarro，a psychologist，both from Cornell.The researchers are examining whether gestures could affect our trustworthiness judgments. “People tend to mimic(模仿)each other's body language，”said De Steno，“which might help them develop intuitions(直觉)about what other people are feeling.”This project tests their theories by having humans interact with the social robot，Nexi，in an attempt to judge her trustworthiness. Without knowing the participants，Nexi has been programmed to make gestures while speaking with selected participants—gestures that the team thinks could determine whether or not she's considered trustworthy.During the first part of the experiment，Nexi makes small talk with them for 10 minutes，asking and answering questions about topics such as traveling，where they're from and what theylike most about living in Boston.“The goal was to create a normal conversation with accompanying movements to see what the mind would intuitively(直觉地)collect about the trustworthiness of another，”said DeSteno.The participants then play an economic game called “Give Some”，which asks them to determine how much money Nexi might give them at the expense of her individual profit. Meanwhile，they decide how much，if any，they'll give to Nexi. The rules of the game allow for two distinct outcomes：higher individual profit for one and loss for the other，or relatively smaller and equal profits for both partners.“Trust mightn't be determined by only one gesture，but rather a ‘dance’ that happens between the strangers，which leads them to trust or not trust the other，” said DeSteno，who will continue testing their theories by seeing if Nexi can be taught to predict the trustworthiness of human partners.15．How many fields does the research involve?A．Two fields. B．Three fields.C．Four fields. D．Five fields.16．According to the text, the researchers focused on ________.A．the writing communicationB．the voice communicationC．the gesturebased communicationD．the online communication17．According to the text, the first part of the experiment is to ________.A．create a special conversationB．intuitively watch the trustworthinessC．accompany the robot closelyD．play an economic game18．The underlined word “dance” in the last paragraph means ________.A．the gestures from each otherB．a kind of entertainmentC．a simple gestureD．one person's gesturesⅢ.完成句子阅读下列各小题，根据每句后的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

Unit 2 RobotsⅠ.阅读理解A[2022·昆明市高三复习诊断]Artificial intelligence(AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like liver cancer in ways that were never before possible.Rishi Rawat, who teaches AI at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, is part of a team of scientists researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the liver. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He say s, “You can put the data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that's important for making decisions.〞David Agus is another researcher. He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can't recognize by itself.〞Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Nowadays, researchers take a thin piece of tissue (组织), put it on a small piece of glass and add color to see the cells better. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns or structures, and learn how the cells are organized.The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. Agus says the process could be done for almost no cost in the developing world and that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.The researchers of the university are now only studying liver cancer.

They are also finding applications as household help and as nursing assistants. As increasing numbers of machines, equipped with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent.A team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus, Professor of Developmental Psychology at LudwigMaximiliansUniversitaet(LMU), have carried out a study to determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave towards them based on moral principles.According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question: “Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives？〞 The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假设的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? In the situations presented the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been humanized to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine.The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likelyparticipants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (无名的) humans.“This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot，〞says Paulus. “One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function — to be of help to us.〞5．What has become a concern about robots?A．How to humanize them.B．How to treat them in life.C．How to use them effectively.D．How to find more applications.6．In the study the participants probably have to decide ________.A．when to sacrifice a robotB．where to experience risksC．which robot to work withD．what robots should be like7．What can be inferred from Paulus' words?A．Humanized robots offer less help to people.B．Humanizing robots too much may be improper.C．Certain moral status should be attached to robots.D．Conflicts often happen between humans and robots.8．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Robots, a Must for FutureB．Humanized Robots, a New TrendC．Robots Saved, People Take the HitD．Humanized Robots Replace HumanⅡ.七选五[2022·临川一中等六校联考]Rise and Shine All DayMaking these easy tasks part of your morning schedule will improve your nutrition, energy, and mood today — and beyond.Stretch in bed.Try this even before you open your eyes.

Unit 2 RobotsⅠ.阅读理解It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids—particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example，we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic！” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter，you will be helping your kids to think and act positively，and to feel competent in a wide range of situations，because they know what to do，and aren't scaring themselves about what not to do.Why does such a small thing make a difference？It is all in the way the human mind works.What we think，we automatically rehearse (预演)．For example，if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes，you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told “Don't fall off the tree，” he will think of two things: “don't” and “fall off the tree”．That is，he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clear and positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe，or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam，hold on firm to the side of the boat.” is much more useful than “Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？” or worse still “How do you think I'll feel if you drown？” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words，so it pays to be positive.1．Positive choice of words helps kids to__________.A．do things carefullyB．build up their confidenceC．improve their imaginationD．learn in different situations2．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A．A child will act on what is instructed.B．One can't help imagining what is heard.C．A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D．One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.3．Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?A．Fasten your seat belt.B．Don't play by the lake.C．How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?D．Don't you dare to walk through the red light?4．The main idea of the passage is that__________.A．praise makes kids confidentB．right instructions keep kids safeC．clear commands make kids differentD．choice of words can make a difference答案：[解题导语]本文主要论证了积极正面的话语更能有效地告诉孩子应该做什么，从而培养孩子的自信。

example，the bump (颠簸)in the road，the setback.You just have to keep in mind that a setback is only temporary and greater things lie ahead.Therefore，keep moving forward，developing what you have，since you’ve already built a solid foundation on which you can rely.It is easy just to quit，give up and ignore the hard work you have put into something.But we believe in the “two steps forward，one step back” philosophy (哲学)．So how can you react when something doesn’t turn out as you’ve expected it to be?First，be objective.Step back and look at the situation.Is your setback really that significant，or will it just require a little extra effort？Then，plan your next move.You can ask for help.Don’t be afraid or ashamed to do this.Frequently，people are more than willing to give you support and advice.You don’t have to be perfect；after all，nobody else is.Next，bounce back.Reevaluate the goals you should have set for yourself at the beginning and retool (改组) them as necessary.Goals should be realistic and specific，but that doesn’t mean they can’t be flexible.Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or failure，view it with success.Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done，after you have put your all into it.Instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time，take a moment to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished.Above all，don’t live with regrets.Success is never easy.It remains up to you whether you will give up，or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want.Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them.One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it.1．According to the passage，the philosophy “two steps forward，one step back” means that________when meeting with a setback.A．we are supposed to quit and ignore the hard workB．we’d better think it over before making a decisionC．we should stop to think before taking further actionD．we are expected to look at things in an allround way2．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to________. A．a performance B．a successC．a goal D．a project3．When we suffer a setback，the most important thing to do is________. A．to keep moving forward to your goalsB．to depend on others’ support and adviceC．to sit back and reward yourself for your successD．to focus on a possible unsatisfactory performance4．What is the passage mainly about?A．How to avoid the bumps.B．How to deal with the setbacks.C．Different attitudes to the setbacks.D．Different suggestions on your goals.。
