Do you sometimes try something new and expect to be successful for the first time? Are you angry with yourself if you aren’t?

Do you know a baby how to learn to walk? When a baby falls, the loving parent   (1)  her, “That’s OK. Try again.” Can you imagine if after many falls, the parent  (2)   the baby and said, “well, I guess you’ll   (3)  be good at walking,” and didn’t let the child continue to try?

Remember the first time you   (4)   your bike? I do. I didn’t lose my confidence. I went back and tried again. Didn’t you?

When I was a kid, my dad told me, “You know, I invented 4UP（一种汽水饮料）, but it wasn’t very good, I went back to the lab and   (5)  5UP and still, it wasn’t right. Finally I tried 6UP, but it didn’t sell. So I stopped. If I went on trying, maybe 7UP would  (6)  !” he told me. Time after time, he said he   (7)   too soon. He told me, “If I  (8)   one more, I could have been a rich man.”

Thomas Edison failed over a thousand   (9)   before he found the filament (灯丝) material that would make an electric light bulb shine.

  (10)  we try something new, we need practice. No matter how well we plan, there are unexpected problems happen.

Success really is not an option(选择). It is a chance only for those who try.

“Thanks for our government. Thanks for providing us with such a good training program. The training program will help us live well. I will study hard and learn different skills. After that I can 36  my family difficulties and do good to others.” a learner on the job training program said, feeling 37.

The learner’s father is disabled, and his mother is 38 in bed. The family is very poor. So he has to find a job to make money. The learner graduated from high school and didn’t have the 39 to go to the college. The job training program can help him to learn the skills that he’ll need in the work place.

The story makes me think of another 40. It goes like this: Long long ago, there was a man who liked fishing a lot, and he was 41 to catch a lot of fish every day. He was a kind-hearted man, he always 42 his fish with his neighbors because they didn’t know how to fish. One day, he thought that it would be great if he taught them how to fish. So he called them together to show them how to fish. Everyone was happy as they could 43 the fish they caught by themselves.

Now, there are still many poor people in the world. But it’s not good if we give only 44 to them. Instead, we should give them a chance to learn new skills. Therefore, technical training is very important to people in need and they will learn the skills to 45  money. People can learn lots of useful things in the training program and what they learn can help them find jobs.

Friends are very important in people’s lives. Some friends have   (1)   views and interests, and   (2)   like the same things. Should friends be different   (3)   the same? In my opinion（意见）.

On weekends, we often go to the library to do some reading. But the other friend of mine, Lin Ying, is   (7)   different from me.

The students began to think and  (2)  . Their answers are different, from 20g to 500g.

"It does not matter on the real  (3)  . It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a  (4)  it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call a  (5)  . It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.
