Sometimes life trips you up，but knowing how to approach failure can be the first step to success. When author J. K. Bowling addressed the graduating class at Harvard last June，she didn't focus on success. Instead，she spoke about failure. She related a story about a young woman who gave up her dream of writing novels to study something more practical. However，she ended up as an unemployed single mom. But during this hard time，she realized she still had a wonderful daughter，an old typewriter，and an idea that would become the foundation for rebuilding her life.“Perhaps you've heard of Harry Pottery You might never fail on the scale I did，” Bowling told the audience.“But it is impossible to live without failing at something，unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all. You will never truly know yourself , or the strength of your relationships，until both have been tested by hardships. Such knowledge is a true gift， for it is painfully won，and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.”

Lots of Americans are tasting failure for the first time now and immediately trying to spit it out. Whether it's unemployment, or the evaporation(消失)of hard-earned savings, the have-it- all generation suddenly lose everything they own. But in the bitterness that accompanies hardships are lessons worth savoring-and，if you look hard enough，sweet opportunity.

Next，you'll learn how the brain responds to failure and how it can be reprogrammed for success using some simple tricks. You'll also find advice from a successful entrepreneur(企業(yè)家)who claims that times like these are actually among the best for launching dreams. But most valuable，you'll meet some ordinary people who were in some tough situations. A few cheered up; others got depressed. But even though their stories are quite different，the outcomes are the same. They all bounced back. And you can too.

As Bowling herself would admit, it doesn't take a wizard(奇才)to do it.

1.We learn from Paragraph 2 that .

A. college students have never suffered a defeat

B. it is normal for you to fail at something in life

C. if you are very cautious，you can enjoy your life

B. Our experience is more valuable than qualifications.

C. We can understand ourselves better in time of danger.

D. Our bitter experience helps us to realize our strength.

3.The underlined word “savoring" in Paragraph 3 probably means .

4.What did some ordinary people do in some tough situations according to the text

In many parts of the world，cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them.So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by ear manufacturers.

The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program.The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized，which will mean much saving，no accidents and better use of roads.The superintelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual.Instead，we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.

According to Dr.David Davis，who leads the research team，these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture，which had blocked up our cities，polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.

Davis says，cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another.The car will automatically speed up，or slow down，to match the speed of the car in front.Computers are much safer drivers than people，so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.

By 2010，Dr.David Davis believes，car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road，whatever the weather conditions，by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen.And by 2020，cars will travel in_convoy,_linked to each other electronically.Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “roadtrains”．“The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.”says Davis.“But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount，and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”

1.Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2020?

A. The car will speed up out of control.

B. We will own as many cars as we want.

C. All cars will be driven by computers.

D. Cars will produce more pollution than present ones.

2.The leader of the research team believes that the present car culture will change because________.

A. cars play a very important role in daily life

B. many societies would stop functioning without cars

C. cars should not be owned by one individual

D. it causes many deaths to human society

3.The expression closest in meaning to the phrase “in convoy” in the last paragraph is________.

A. in line B. sidelong

C. side by side D. shoulder to shoulder

4.What will happen if cars are joined to each other electro- nically in 2020?

A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.

B. There will be less pollution caused by car.

C. The weather condition will not have effect on motorists.

D. All trains will bum less fuel than present.
