Failing in something isn’t a really nice feeling, but Scotland’ s Fettes College in Edinburgh wants to show its students that failure isn’t something to fear and is actually something to accept willingly!
The boarding school held “failure week” to celebrate taking risks and learning from them. Whether in sports or school, children often face lots of pressure to succeed and do well, and the school was becoming concerned.
“Young people from all walks of life live in a high-pressure environment where they are trying very hard to achieve a level of perfection,” said Sue Bruce, head of personal and social education in the school.
“This week at Fettes we have been focusing on one of the most misunderstood parts of success: failure. While we are often scared of failure, it is important to learn that it is only through failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. All through the week, we have looked at the experiences of some of the most successful inventors, artists and businessmen, who failed hundreds, if not thousands of times on their journey to success,” read a letter on Fettes College’s website.
To celebrate failure, students were encouraged to try something they’ve never done before, like playing an instrument or dancing in front of audiences. A number of students stepped up and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and enjoyed the experience. “The concert was extremely enjoyable, proving that we should always try not to worry about failure and have a go!” read another note on the website. Students were also taught about famous people like J.K. Rowling and Richard Branson who failed many times before they finished what they set out to do.
“If they let the fear of failure stop them from doing something, they are actually stopping themselves from learning, developing, and potentially succeeding,”said Bruce.

1. What is the purpose of the boarding school to hold “failure week”?
A. To get the students involved in social activities.
B. To help the students accept and learn from failure.
C. To make the students study even harder.
D. To teach the students how to get relaxed.
2. During the “failure week” the students could do the following things EXCEPT ___________?
A. taking risks B. learning from others’ experiences
C. trying something new D. trying to entertain themselves
3. What can we learn from the passage?
A、Many successful people are lucky and achieve success easily.
B、Because we are often scared of failure ,we never succeed.
C、The fear of failure can stop the students from learning and succeeding.
DThe students who failed in trying new things felt depressed.

B
Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.
“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”
This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.
It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014 owners in Japan held funerals.
As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.
So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.

4. What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?
A. be refused by B. be beneficial to
C. make a difference to D. receive support from
5. What are the advantages of robot pets?
a. They are plastic and feel smooth.
b. Owners needn’t worry about them when going out.
c. They can help cure allergies.
d. They save space and costs.
A. ab B. bc C. bd D.cd
6. We can learn from the passage that___________.
A. Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.
B. People can develop strong bond with their robot pets.
C. Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.
D. Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.
7. The passage mainly tells us___________.
A. the advantages of robot toys B. the popularity of robot pets
C. living pets are dying out. D. robot pets are coming.

C
Lee’s mother Sun became unexpectedly pregnant while married to a disabled man. Doctors told her that because of a medication she had been taking her child would not be normal. She chose to continue with the pregnancy and in 1985 in Seoul, South Korea, little Hee Ah Lee was born with only two fingers on each hand, disfigurement of her legs, and slight brain injury. The hospital told Sun that she could not care for the child at home and her relatives wanted her to place the child for adoption in a foreign country. Sun, however, thought her baby would live a successful life.
When Lee was a pre-schooler, Sun wanted her daughter to take piano lessons for two reasons. One was that she felt it would help her strengthen her hands so she could hold a pencil. The other was that she felt that if she could master the piano, she could master anything. For six months piano schools turned them down and then the one teacher who did accept the task got discouraged and wanted to quit. It was a three-month contest of wills between mother and daughter that led to a conflict in which Sun actually threw her daughter on the floor in frustration. But Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played a children’s song. That was the turning point and one year later Lee won the grand prize in a piano concert for Kindergartners. It was at the age of 7 that Lee won Korea’s 19th National Handicap Conquest Contest and was presented with her award by the President of Korea.
Lee has won numerous awards, and is a widely traveled concert pianist with more than 200 appearances. Her first album titled “Hee-ah, a Pianist with Four Fingers” was released in June, 2008.
Lee speaks highly of her mother for challenging her to master the piano and said that although her training was difficult, “As time went by, the piano became my source of inspiration and my best friend.”

8. Which of the following can best describe Sun?
A. stubborn and devoted B. impatient and strict
C. enthusiastic and hardworking D. honest and responsible
9. What was probably in Lee’s mind when on the floor?
A. Learning piano was too difficult for her.
B. Life was unfair to her.
C. She would try her best to learn piano.
D. Her mother didn’t love her any more.
10. When was Lee awarded by the president of Korea?
A. 1985 B. 1992 C. 2008 D. 2007
11. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. A 4-finger pianist B. Love between mother and daughter
C. Learning piano D. An abnormal girl

D
Every year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there’s spyware on the their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.
Don’t fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here’s how.
● Clean Your Computer and Smartphone
Before you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy — or malware that may have already infected your system. These days, it’s also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.
● Secure Your WiFi
It’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection — that’s why you want to be careful when using public WiFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it’s a good idea to refresh your settings.
● Use passwords
What you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.
● Check the shopping security
Take care when shopping online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption (加密) is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal — never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online.
Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for in real life” can still be used uninfluenced.
Don’t store information on any store’s website. It may be convenient but it’s also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.
12. This passage is mainly about ___________.
A. ways of avoiding identity theft B. tips of freeing computers from viruses
C. measures to ensure network security D. steps to keep track of passwords
13. To put new security measures into place, we need to ___________.
A. clear out everything in the system B. make a random selection of network
C. get rid of potential spyware D. refresh the infected system
14. According to the passage, the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be caused by ___________.
A. the applications of antivirus programs B. the practice of using public WiFi
C. the difficult access to passwords D. the separate credit card for online shopping
15. Which of the following is an improper way to shop online?
A. Adopting a unique password for every website.
B. Shopping online at reliable websites.
C. Keeping credit details safe by checking security symbols.
D. Monitoring credit card by storing information online.

第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As the saying goes, you can not change the environment, but can change their own. ___16___ You can not change the past, but can be changed now.
___17___ Winners will put setbacks and difficulties down to the imperfection of personal ability and experience, to emphasize the inherent factors, and they are willing to continuously improve and develop the right direction.

If even the state of mind will not be adjusted, how they deal with things more complicated than the mentality of it!

Failure is seldom because we do not have the strength, but always because we are susceptible to all around us, and get used to going along with the lack of assertive, unstable attitude, and easily frustrated reason.
