Day 5 一、阅读理解（共25小题，每小题2分，共50分） A Learning from Failure: A Step to Growth Everyone experiences failure at some point in life. Maybe you failed a test, lost a competition, or didn’t get the job you wanted. It’s easy to feel sad or even give up when this happens. But failure is not the end—it’s actually a valuable part of personal growth. First, failure teaches you about your strengths and weaknesses. When you fail at something, you learn what you’re good at and what you need to improve. For example, if you fail a math exam because you struggled with geometry, you’ll know to spend more time practicing geometry problems. This self-awareness helps you make better plans for the future and focus on areas that need more work. Second, failure builds resilience. Resilience is the ability to get back up after facing difficulties. Every time you overcome a failure, you become stronger and more confident. Think about a child learning to ride a bike—they fall many times, but each fall teaches them how to balance better. Eventually, they master riding a bike because they didn’t give up after failing. The same is true for adults: the more failures you overcome, the more resilient you become. Failure also helps you develop a growth mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can improve with effort. They don’t see failure as a sign that they’re “not good enough”—instead, they see it as a chance to learn and grow. For example, a student who fails a speech competition might think, “I need to practice my public speaking more” instead of “I’m bad at speaking in front of people.” This mindset makes you more willing to try new things and take risks, which are essential for personal growth. Of course, it’s not easy to stay positive after failure. But there are ways to make the most of it. You can start by analyzing why you failed—was it because you didn’t prepare enough, or because you chose the wrong method Then, make a plan to improve. You can also talk to friends, family, or teachers for advice—they might have helpful ideas you haven’t thought of. Most importantly, be kind to yourself: don’t blame yourself too much for failing, and remember that everyone makes mistakes. In the end, failure is not something to fear. It’s a teacher that helps you become a better person. Every successful person—whether a scientist, an artist, or an athlete—has failed many times before achieving their goals. So the next time you fail, remember: it’s just a step on the path to growth. 1．What does failure teach you about yourself A．Only your strengths. B．Only your weaknesses.
