We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistake

A．Because we can succeed only by making mistakes.

B．Because it is necessary for us to make mistakes if we want to be successful.

C．Because making mistakes means giving us more useful knowledge.

D．Because all the book knowledge is gained by making mistakes.

Questions 21 to 25 are　based on the following passage:

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money, but most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen？” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend？ Or did he envy my luck？” “And Paul — why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car？” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends — or our enemies？ Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side？ If he says, “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal,” that's being friendly. But “lucky dog”？ There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker　is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he？ Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words？ One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks？ Does　what he says square with the tone of voice？ His posture？ The look in his　eyes？ Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

阅读文章，回答下列各题： Some people seem to have a knack(诀窍) for learning languages.They can pick up new vocabulary, mas-ter rules of grammar, and learn to writein the new language much more quickly than other people. They do not seem to beany cleverer than others. What makes language learning so much easier for them？Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we maydiscover a few techniques which make language learn-ing easier for them. Firstly, successful language learners areindependent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teach-er; they drather discover their own way to learn the language than wait for the teacherto explain everything.They try to find the sentence patterns, the rules and themeaning of the new word by themselves. They are good guessers. They look forclues and form. their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again.They try to learn from their mistakes. Besides,successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learnersdo not wait for achance to use the language; they look for such a chance. Theyfind people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct themwhenever they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are notafraid to repeat; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. Whencommunication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact orincomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language thanto know every word s meaning. Finally,successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learnthe language because they have an interest in the language and the people whospeak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicatewith these people and to learn from them. Successful language learners are independent, so successful learners __________ A．depend on the book or theteacher B．wait for the teacher toexplain everything C．learn from their mistakes D．discover their own way tolearn languages

It is therefore very important that children should be trained and encouraged in cooperation, and should be allowed to find their own way amongst children of their own age, in common tasks and shared games. Any barrier to cooperation will have serious consequences. The spoilt child, for example, who has learned to be interested only in himself, will take this lack of interest in others to school with him. His lessons will interest him only in so far as he thinks he can gain his teacher’s favor. He will listen only to what he considers advantageous to himself. As he approaches adulthood, the result of his lack of social feeling will become more and more evident. When he first misconstrued the meaning of life, he ceased training himself for responsibility and independence. By now he is painfully ill-equipped for life's tests and difficulties.

We cannot blame a child for his early mistakes. We can only help him to correct them and remember them when he begins to suffer the consequences. We do not expect a child who has never been taught geography to score high marks in an examination paper on the subject. Similarly, we cannot expect a child who has never been trained in cooperation to respond appropriately when tasks that demand cooperation are set before him. But all of life's problems demand an ability to cooperate if they are to be resolved; every task must be mastered within the framework of human society and in a way that furthers human welfare. Only the individual who understands that life means contribution will be able to meet his difficulties with courage and with a good chance of success.

If teachers, parents and psychologists understand the mistakes that can be made in ascribing a meaning to life, and provided they do not make the same mistakes themselves, we can be confident that children who lack social feeling will eventually develop a better sense of their own capacities and of the opportunities in life. When they meet problems, they will not stop trying; they will not look for an easy way out, try to escape or throw the burden onto the shoulders of others; they will not demand extra consideration or special sympathy; they will not feel humiliated and seek revenge, or ask, "What is the use of life？ What do I get from it？ They will say, "We must make our own lives. It is our own task and we are capable of performing it. We are masters of our own actions. If something new must be done or something old replaced, no one can do it but our selves. "If life is approached in this way, as a cooperation of independent human beings, them are no limits to the progress of our human 'civilization.

Cooperation can cure the following EXCEPT ______.

A．lack of interest in others

B．selfishness

C．independence

D．lack of social feeling
