第一部分：任务型阅读
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world． They buy their children pretty clothes， strange but expensive school things， and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike． They think that they have done everything they can to their dear little children． In return， they only want their children to give them good results in the examinations．
But why can their children still not understand them？ Does it mean that they still want more material things？ No． As a matter of fact， what they want is a true family． What does a true family mean？ I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world． From here， we can get warmth， we can get consolation（安慰）， and we can get happiness． And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family．
So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family， so the child and his parents could understand each other more and more．
1. What do parents expect all of us to do when they give us so much？（不超过15词）

Do you consider failure as an ending? Do you often feel after a failure that you are good for nothing? Then be careful, you are one of them who have bad relationship with failure. And this is the only reason why people often keep themselves away from their success. The power of failure is that it helps us to learn fro our mistakes and missteps and we must consider a failure as an opportunity to grow rather than giving up.
Let's discover the reasons why successful people believe that opportunity lies in every

failure.
Disappointment or failure shows that you are trying
The best way to gauge（衡量）your progress at something is to see how many times you failed. In case you haven't failed yet, chances are that you haven't tried hard yet.
Look at all successful men and women throughout our history, they all had one thing in common. That's to say they failed not once but several times before they achieved success. Let's take an example of Thomas Edison: he failed a lot of times to find right filament（灯丝）for his light bulb. Henry Ford had a stronger relationship with failure, which inspired him to quote this unforgettable saying “failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.”
Achievement lies in looking at failure as an opportunity
Just like every successful person had one thing in common, similarly all unsuccessful persons throughout our history had one thing in common --- their inability to use failure as an opportunity and a tool. If you feel your one failure is your ultimate （终极的）failure, and that feeling of sinking down is known as an ultimate failure, you are pushing yourself away from your expected success. Achievement is all about finding out what mistakes you made, what is the main cause of that failure, and how you are going to make up for it.
Success requires willpower, passion, hard work, intelligence, determination, but all of the above, success requires failure. Use your failure as an opportunity to learn, to become wiser and to reconsider your relationship with failure, the true key to success.
1. According to the writer, why do people keep themselves away from their success?
A. Because they don't set long-term goals.
B. Because they haven't got enough time.
C. Because they can't deal with failure properly.
D. Because they are disappointed in themselves.
2. Why does the writer take the example of Thomas Edison?
A. To explain the reasons for failure.
B. To prove the importance of failure.

Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly(蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis(蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle(挣扎；奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become
