If there is any single factor that makes for success in living,it is the ability to profit by defeat.Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking.Confuse defeat
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living,it is the ability to profit by defeat.Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking.Confuse defeat with failure,and you are doomed indeed to failure,for it isn’t defeat that makes you fail:it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.
Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success.But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed,analyze it and learn why you failed.Defeat,in other words,can help to cure its own cause.Not only does defeat prepare us for success,but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed.If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away,he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended.It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated.If you fully use the power which defeat gives,you can accompli**h it far more than what you are capable of.
6.The author __________.
A.orders you to analyze defeat
B.wants you to face defeat
C.advises you to let a baby grasp a rod
D.warns you not to confuse defeat with fail
7.Defeat is valuable __________.
A.because it is a factor
B.because it isn’t defeat that makes you fail
C.because it provides the guide and encouragement to success
D.because it is not a thing to be ashamed of

A.He knows every success in life
B.He knows the factor making for success
C.He knows every man who is able to analyze defeat
D.He knows the life of every man
9.The person who was able to analyze the defeat is likely ___________.
A.to be a successor
B.to face it with feeling ashamed
C.to achieve success
D.to be ashamed of it
10.What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives?One should _____.
A.explore it
B.explain it
C.let a baby grasp a rod
D.learn it

In many stories on TV and in science-fiction books, men travel to faraway stars. They have quick, easy journeys. But so far, men have been able to reach only the earth’s own moon.
Suppose a man wanted to reach a distant star. Even if he traveled his whole life, he would have to move faster than the speed of the light. Nothing can move that fast except light itself.
Strange things happen to an object when it moves rapidly. The object weighs more. An object moving at 86 percent of the speed of light is twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more slowly. A man would not age so fast as he would on the earth.
Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second, or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels six trillion miles. That great distance is called a light-year. It is used to measure distance in space.
The star closest to our sun is Alpha Centauri. It is more than four light-years away. If one traveled at the speed of light, he could make a round trip to Alpha Centauri in nine years. But, even at that speed, he could not reach Alcaid (北斗星) in the handle of the Big Dipper. A one-way journey to Alcaid would take almost 200 years

【英语阅读理解题目】
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there's a big difference between being a writer and writing.In most cases they are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at a typewriter."You've got to want to write," I say to them,"not want to be a writer."
The reality is that writing is a lonely,private and poor-paying affair.Only a few writers were kissed by fortune,however there are thousands more whose work is never rewarded.When I left a 20-year career in the U.S.Coast Guard to become a freelance writer,I had no proposals at all.What I did have was a friend who found me in my room in a New York department building.I didn't even care that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a good writer.
After a year I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who did wondering "What if".I would keep putting my dream to the test,even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the Shadowland of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
31.The passage is meant to ____.

B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C.show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D.encourage young people to pursue a writing career
32.What can be concluded from the passage?
A.Good writers often find their work interesting and rewarding
B.Writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort
C.Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation
D.The chances for a writer to become successful are small
33.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
A.Because he wasn't able to produce a single book
B.Because he hadn't seen a change for the better
C.Because he wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year
D.Because he found his dream would never come true
34.The word "people" in the sentence "...people who did wondering..." in Paragraph 3 refers to those ____.
