As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠)woke up. There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its simple beauty, it was very happy. Around it were other dewdrops, some on the same leaf and some on other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
The wind blew and the plant began to shake, tipping (使倾斜) the leaf. The dewdrop became frightened as it started to move towards the edge (边缘)of the leaf. Why was this happening? Things were comfortable. Things were safe. Why did they have to change? Why? Why?
The dewdrop reached the edge of the leaf. It was sure that this was the end. The day had only just begun and the end had come so quickly. It seemed so unfair. It seemed so meaningless. It tried hard to do whatever it could to stay on the leaf, but it was no use.
Finally, it fell. Below there was a mirror. A reflection of the dewdrop seemed to be coming up to meet it.  Closer and closer they came together until finally.., the small dewdrop became a part of the great pond (池塘). Now the dewdrop was no more, but it was not destroyed.
It had become one with the whole.

In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In   26  way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often   27 Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider  28 a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough   29 in the rock. He tried six times. On the   30  time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to   31 the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made 32 models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked   33 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have   34 failures. Now I know 50,000 ways it won"t   35”.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused  36  ?Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go   37 next times.
Second, is the goal(目标 ) you"re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some   38 about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn"t be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in   39 about failure is that it"s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have   40

A passenger(旅客)told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off. She told him that she would bring him the water in ten minutes.
The air hostess was kept so busy that she forgot to give him the water. As a result, the passenger was held up(延误) to take his medicine. Thirty minutes later, when the passenger’s ring for service sounded, she hurried over to him with a cup of water, but he refused.

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 : -@ kids FTF. ILNY; its gr8.
Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don"t feel too bad. The middle school teacher in England who received this as homework couldn’t either. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized(电脑化的)communication found on Internet or mobile phones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it’s great.
Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students" writing. They fear the language could become corrupted (面目全非的).
Everyone should just relax, say linguists (语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, “Kids who are now doing text messaging and e-mail will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception(例外)that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today"s teenagers become tomorrow"s parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”, and that they simply change to meet the new needs.
However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia Mcvey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it"s important that they get across to(沟通)their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”
Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn"t use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun."
小题1:What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To give an example of a foreign language.
B.To express worries about using Netspeak.
C.To show an example of creative methods(方法).
D.To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to(按照)the passage?
A.Cynthia Mcvey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.
B.Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.
C.David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.
D.James Milroy says that every language is changing and improving.
小题3:The expression " bet your bottom dollar " in Paragraph 5 means “_________”.
A.be sureB.be surprisedC.think it a pityD.find it interesting
小题4:What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Netspeak: A Widely-used Language on Internet
B.Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?
C.Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?
D.Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages
