Nobody likes to fail.It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged.What's worse,it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity.Basically,failure is no fun for most people.However,a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop,increases adaptability,and helps protect against anxiety. It's hard to change the mindset()of a lifetime.But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong,it might not be too late for our kids. Christy Pennison,a professional consultant,says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure.She said,"We want to protect our children,and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives,so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure.The children experiencing internal and sometimes external pressure think they shouldn't fail.So when they don't perform to a certain standard,or things don't go according to plan,they will feel upset and anxious." Pennison argues that failures,are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities,like persistence,focus,flexibility,patience and positive self-image So what can parents do to help their children embrace (failure instead of avoiding it at all costs?Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort,not the result."This allows children to build confidence in themselves,"she explains."Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without fear of failure.And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset- I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'-helps them keep a belief in themselves,and expands their world of possibilities."As Pennison points out,we all fail,but how we get up after we fail is what matters. 24.What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure? A.The great courage to face it. B.The efforts made to handle it C.Unexpected benefits it brings. D.Unpleasant side effects it brings. 答案D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段关键句Nobody likes to fail.It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged.”和Basically,failure is no fun for most people.”可知，没有人喜欢失败，它让人感到尴尬和气馁。失败对大多数人来说都不是一件有趣

Nobody likes to fail.It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged.What’s worse,it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity.Basically,failure is no fun for most people.However,a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop,increases adaptability,and helps protect against anxiety. It’s hard to change the mindset(心态) of a lifetime.But even if we still can’t get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong,it might not be too late for our kids. Christy Pennison,a professional consultant,says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure.She said,“We want to protect our children,and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives,so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure.The children experiencing internal and sometimes external pressure think they shouldn’t fail.So when they don’t perform to a certain standard,or things don’t go according to plan,they will feel upset and anxious.” Pennison argues that failures,are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities,like persistence,focus,flexibility,patience and positive self-image. So what can parents do to help their children embrace (拥抱) failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort,not the result.“This allows children to build confidence in themselves,”she explains.“Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without fear of failure.And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset— ‘I’d rather try and fail than not try at all.’—helps them keep a belief in themselves,and expands their world of possibilities.” As Pennison points out,we all fail,but how we get up after we fail is what matters. 24.What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure? A.The great courage to face it. B.The efforts made to handle it. C.Unexpected benefits it brings.

The original film Jurassic Park tells the story of a theme park where dinosaurs live.In that movie,scientists used DNA collected by ancient mosquitoes that had been trapped in amber shortly after they drank dinosaur blood.The scientists used this dinosaur DNA to create baby dinosaurs.The scientists in Jurassic Park created various types of dinosaurs,but in the real world there is one big problem with the story.It turns out that DNA could not possibly survive the 65 million years since the death of the dinosaurs. The new movie creates the Indominus Rex.This idea of creating a hybrid species is something Horner has explored before.In 2011,he gave a speech in which he discussed producing a dinosaur by working with the genes of a bird.Modern birds are the closest living relative of dinosaurs. The concept of using the genes of different animals to create new animals is called transgenic science.And this type of science has already produced some interesting results-goats that produce spider silk in their milk,cows that produce proteins for medicines that can treat diseases,and a pig that produces less-polluting waste thanks to a bit of mouse DNA.However,none of these examples are close to the dinosaurs in Jurassic World.And for a good reason-genetics is a very complex science.Producing a new species is not as simple as just exchanging a few genes around. In the end,Jurassic World is all about fun 28.What do we know from paragraph 2? A.A theme park is built to protect dinosaurs. B.Mosquito DNA is used to create dinosaurs
