　　One day he went on a long way alone. Before he left home，his wife said，“Now you have all these things. You need them on your way. Take care of your things on the way.” He went to the station. He bought a ticket and got on the train with it.
　　About an hour later, the conductor(检票员) began to see the tickets.

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first, mistakes are clear signs that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create (创造)? The simple answer is, “You can’t.” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented (发明)the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
There is an old saying, “If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.
56. If you are making a mistake, that means ____.
A. you’re careful B. you’re kind C. you’re growing D. you’re stupid
57. If you never try new things, you can’t ________.
A. create B. improve C.A and B D. work
58. After Edison failed 10,000 times, he _______.
A. gave up B. invented the light bulb
C. invented the computer D. invented the phone
59. When you make a mistake, you are closer to ______.
A. time B. money C. success D. failure
60. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Never make mistakes. B. You can make mistakes without thinking.
C. You should make mistakes all the time. D. Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes.
