Have you ever had an embarrassing (尴尬的) experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us about embarrassing experience. We received thousands of letters ! Here is a selection.

Tony : My most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn't ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn't go to the office, but went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn't understand why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe !

Henry : The most embarrassing experience I've ever had, happened two years ago. After seeing a film,my wife and I had lunch in our favourite restaurant in town. Then we decided to take a walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud

2

scream, and a woman slapped my face. I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a complete stranger !

James:My wife and I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment to see our bank manager. I'd never met him before. I went into town in my car and I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I'd just started reversing (倒车) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was irritated! I opened my window and shouted at the man in the car. He ignored me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I had parked the car,I rushed back to the bank. I was ten minutes late for my

appointment. I went to the manager's office,knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!

A. he couldn't find his shoes B. his alarm clock didn't ring C. he washed and dressed slowly D. his car went wrong on the way 26.Henry and his wife held hands ______.

B

For a long time, humans have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and Mars is the latest place we’re using machines to explore. Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.

Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the robots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.

But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robot explorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.

28. For a long time humans think ________. A. they can surely find life on Mars B. there may be life on Mars C. it’s too late for them to explore Mars now D. Mars is the only planet that has life on it 29. The two robots ________.

A. have found out that it is warm and wet on Mars B. were sent to Mars to find some stones C. were the first two American robots that landed on Mars D. are the only machines that have landed on Mars so far

30. The third paragraph mainly tell us ________.

A. it’s a very hard and dangerous trip for spaceships to Mars B. two-thirds of the spaceships sent to Mars have failed C. Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars successful D. Mars is called the “death planet”

C

Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.

Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(标准). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.

There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.

Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them.

31:How do most parents prevent their children from failure? A．They give them some presents.

B．They don’t tell them that they have failed. C．They don’t blame others.

D．They help them to come out of failure.

32:Which of the following can a person learn when he fails? A．It’s impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it. B．He is the worst of all.

C．It’s natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time. D．His teammates are not good enough.

33. Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Learning from Failure

B．Ways of Preventing Failure C．Reasons of Failure

D．Getting Pleasure from Failure

If you’re ever apart from your children, a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug(拥抱)．

If you’re a parent who spends long hours on the job, you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids．But the results of a new study show that a mother’s voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact．

In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison asked a group of girls between the age of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges – a stressful(充满压力了)situation for anyone．Before the girls were set to solve math problems, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones(荷尔蒙)：cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods,
