参加用英语怎么说(广东省汕头市金山中学2016届高三上学期期末考试)Why You Should Celebrate Your
Mistakes
When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish(珍视) it like it’s the most precious thing in the world, becau in some ways, it is.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourlves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourlves.
And that’s only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and that we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.
By trial and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from tho mistakes — we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.
Think about how we learn: we don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from hen you construct a model in hen you test it out by trying it in the hen
节假日安排you hen you revi the model bad on the results of your real-world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from tho mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn a
s adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new, becau if you succeed in something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much from that success — at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey.
So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.

Passage 2
(辽宁省实验中学分校2016届高三12月月考)＂People are ruder today becau
they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,＂ says Patsy Rowe, ＂Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).＂ Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder that more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with complaining about the noi. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them,
吴丽云
dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels
very slow becau humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourlves to think that every new message brings life-
changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is wor, some people even tend to nd anonymous(匿名的)rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something
awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Uptting people with unsigned messages is
cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we e them.

Passage 3
(安徽省合肥一中、芜湖一中等六校教育研究会2016届高三第一次联考)School children are using mobile phone applications to do their homework, which em to be increasing during summer vacations. But instead of blaming students for their behavior, we should say no to too much homework. This is important becau by using mobile phone applications to do their homework, stud
蝇蛆养殖技术ents don’t add much to their knowledge, says an article in Guangzhou-bad Yangcheng Evening News. Excerpts (摘录):
Using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from copying from someone el’s work. This is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers.
Students who ek cell phone apps help to do their homework will pay dearly
during major exams when they cannot ek the help of such applications, the
teachers say.
The heavy load of homework Chine students are burdened with, said to be
the heaviest in the world, has led to the popularity of the applications.
Senior high school students in China rarely go to bed before 11 pm. A report
in Shanghai published in 2013 showed that students in the city on average spend
28.2 hours in class every week, the 9th highest among 65 countries and regions surveyed. Also, the
y spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework, most
in the world.
There is no association between the amount of homework one does and the
amount of knowledge one gathers. In fact, a rearch by Australian experts shows
that the result is exactly the opposite: the more hours students spend doing homework, the less effective they will be in gaining knowledge.
The United States is one of the countries where students do little homework,
but that has not damaged the country’s academic status in the world.
So, it’s time Chine schools understood this fact and freed students of
the unnecessary burden of homework.

A. Supporting.
B. Understanding.
C. Scolding.
D. Praising.

A. the heavy burden of homework
B. the advance of modern technology
