完型填空（15分）
I have had thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But only one _1_ was the most important.
It happened last term just after I had got a _2_ result in an exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided to go to a class which can tell me how to be_3_.
The speaker walked into the room. But he did not start talking _4_ a teacher. Instead, he held up a twenty Yuan note(钞票)!
“Who wants this?” he asked. Unsurprisingly, _5_ of us in the class held up our hands.
The speaker smiled. Then he put up the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we all put up our hands. The speaker smiled again, but _6_nothing. Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same _7_ a third time.
I didn’t _8_ what the speaker was doing. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I didn’t know what to do. I wanted the note, _9_ I put my hand up again. After a while, he _10_ the note and started to laugh. “You have all just told me how to become successful,” _11_ said to us with the note in his hand.
“The note is worth twenty yuan. It is _12_ worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter _13_ happens to you, you still have your worth.”
When I heard those words, I was deeply moved. Suddenly, I _14_ I was worth a lot. I may have done badly in an exam, but it doesn’t _15_ I can’t do well in the future. If I believe in myself, I will be successful!

点评：本题短文内容不难理解，但是部分小题与上下文联系不大，部分题型甚至可以独立成题。因此在解答中有必要认真分析，把他们当成一个独立的选择题来对待。完成后多读几遍，看看上下文是否语句通顺，符合逻辑关系。 |

Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiles to you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is what we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
Attitude decided everything. With an optimistic(乐观) attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
小题1:People sometimes complain_______.| A．the sky is always dark | | B．their studies are successful | | C．they see the world with their heart | | D．life is tiring |
小题2:If there is a timely rain, ______.| A．you want to go out | | B．you can listen to the concert | | C．crops in the fields will grow better | | D．farmers can’t have a good harvest |
