LAURA： Do I eat fast food ？ Never ！ I love to eat food that is healthy。 I want to take care of my healthy ，so I eat mainly fruit and vegetables .Oh！ And I stay away from sugar ，you do too ,dont you ?

Cola is better for our health than water.B。 People who eat a balanced diet should be healthier than those who only eat biscuits and hamburgers。C. We may eat much burnt barbecued meat D。 The food that is healthy tastes terrible.BWhy are so many people afraid to fail? Quite simply because we forget that failure is part of the human life。 Every person is able to fight failure （失败） and finally succeed.Most parents try hard to stop their children from knowing that they have failed。 One way is to lower standards （标准). When a child finishes making a table, its mother regards it as “Fantastic ， though the table is not nice at all. Another way is to blame（责备）others。 If John fails science， m內other will say his teacher is not fair or silly。Theres a problem with the two ways. A child doesnt know what life is like in the real world。 Young children need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time-and that its possible to enjoy a game even when you lose. A child often feels terrible， of course, when he is not invited to a birthday party， or is not chosen into a football team。 But parents should not say “It doesnt matter quickly . The young should be allowed to experience disappointment(失望）and be helped to come out of itFailure never makes people happy. It hurts both children and their parents. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask， “Why did I fail?” Dont blame someone else。 Ask yourself what you did wrong， how you can improve。 If someone else can help， dont be shy about asking them。 Success just repeats what has been done. It is not as good a teacher as failure. You can learn how to give a good party from an unsuccessful one. ( ）56。How do most parents prevent their children from failure？AThey give them some presents BThey dont tell them that they have failed。CThey dont blame other people。DThey help them to come out of failure。（ ）57。Which of the following does a person need to learn when he fails？AIts impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it .BHe s the worst of all 。CIt s natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time .DHe s shy about asking others for help 。（ ）58。The writer of this article thinks that if a child fails , parents should Agive him a quick prize Badvise him to repeat failure Cblame others Dencourage them to learn to use failure。( ）59。 According to the passage which of the following sentences is True。A. When a child finishes making a table ， its mother should describe it as Fantastic 。B. When a child is not invited to a birthday party , he should be sad 。C. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment。D. Failure cant be really good to your life .（ ）60The best title for this article may be ALearning from Failure BWays of Preventing FailureCReasons for Failure DGetting Pleasure from Failure CAs a child , I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost 。These fears(恐惧) were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments 。Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much .There was never complete darkness ，but always a streetlight or passing car lights ，which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal 。Out of the corner of my eye ,I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind . A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day 。 My imagination would run wild ，and my heart would beat fast . I would lie very still(静静地) so that the “enemy”would not discover me. Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost especially on the way home from school .Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home . That was no problem ，After school ，though ,when all the buses were lined up along the street , I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places 。On school or family trips to a park or a museum ， I wouldnt let the leaders out of my sight .Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I h
