The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers． "I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test．" he said． "And because I know you are all able to understand these questions．I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test．''

One man thinks that working on the weekend can be dangerous. He is Graham Coates. Mr. Coates worked in an office in Brighton，England.

He started to shout，but no one heard him. Then Mr. Coates remembered that it was a holiday in England. No one was going to come to work until Tuesday!

There was nothing for Mr. Coates to do. He had to wait until one of his workmates came to work and found him. With nothing to eat or drink，Mr. Coates had to sleep for most of the time.

Early on Tuesday morning，the vice president of the company came into work and found the elevator was broken. When the elevator was opened，Mr. Coates came out cold，weak，and tired. He had been in the elevator for sixty -Two hours!

Now Mr. Coates says， "I only use elevators if they have telephones in them."

第四部分 信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分）

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Some believe that people are either smart or dumb．And if they are smart，everything is easy for them． (34)       But they can improve the skills they have and develop new ones．What's your opinion？

In fact，this is related to one's mindset （思维模式）．Dr．Carol Dweck，a psychology （心理学）professor at Stanford University，has discovered that people with a fixed mindset solve problems in a much different way from those with a growth mindset．

Dr．Dweck found people with a fixed mindset care about grades．When they make mistakes，they think it means they're not smart． (35)       They're afraid of challenges，because if they don't do well，they may look dumb．People with a growth mindset，on the other hand，care about learning，not grades．They learn from mistakes by trying different ways to solve problems or asking for help．

(36)．        They discovered that students with a growth mindset do better in math；those with a fixed mindset do worse．Why？Kids with both mindsets do well in primary school，but middle school math is much harder．So while the growth -Mindset kids embrace （拥抱）the challenge and work harder，the fixed -Mindset kids may just give up．(37)     

But Dweck's team discovered something even more important than that．They found that，with some work，kids can choose to have a growth mindset and do better in school．Everyone has some of each type of mindset． (38)      When you hear your fixed mindset voice telling you that you're dumb，or that you'll look stupid if you ask for help，or that learning a new skill is hard，talk back to it! Then you really can get smarter by working hard，practicing and challenging yourself!

A．Some people believe that everyone in the world is smart．

B．As a result，their grades drop．

C．They also care about how smart they look．

D．Some hold the belief that not everyone can become a genius（天才）．

E．Dweck's team found fixed -Mindset kids can't do well in primary school．

F．They are just like two kinds of voices in your head．

G．Dweck and her team did a research among middle school students．

第七部分 阅读表达（共3小题；54题2分，55题2分，56题2分，满分6分）

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。

Why are so many people so afraid to fail？Quite simply because no one tells us how to face the failure（失败）. In fact，failure can become experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the chance to fail.

Most parents work hard to prevent failure or protect their children. One way is to lower standards. Nearly 60% of parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table，the mother describes it as "perfect" even though it doesn't stand stable（牢固的）. The other way is to blame（责怪）others. If John fails in science，his teacher is unfair or stupid.

There's a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for the real life if they don't meet enough failure. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything. No one can win all the time. The young should be allowed to experience failure.

Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown -Ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it.

（60）How many ways do most parents choose to prevent failure and protect their children？What are they？

___________________________________________________________________________

（61）Does the writer agree parents to do so？Why？

___________________________________________________________________________

（62）What do you think of failure？
