Nbdy likes t fail. It makes peple feel embarrassed and discuraged. What’s wrse, it may cause majr prfessinal r persnal truble and lead t negativity. Basically, failure is n fun fr mst peple. Hwever, a vast bdy f research tells us that failure prvides us with a chance t grw and develp, increases adaptability, and helps prtect against anxiety.
It’s hard t change the mindset(心态) f a lifetime. But even if we still can’t get ver the brken marriage r the failed Cllege Entrance Examinatin r the wrk presentatin that went fearfully wrng, it might nt be t late fr ur kids.
Christy Pennisn, a prfessinal cnsultant, says she wrks with an increasing number f kids and teens wh shw significant anxiety arund a fear f failure. She said, “We want t prtect ur children, and we want them t live happy and meaningful lives, s we frequently tell them the harm f failure and ask them t avid failure. The children experiencing internal and smetimes extenal pressure think they shuldn’t fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectatins f them. S when they dn’t live up t a certain standard, r things dn’t g accrding t the plans, they will feel upset and anxius.”
Pennisn argues that failures, are ften the hidden learning chances that can help peple develp psitive qualities, like persistence, fcus, flexibility, patience, and psitive self-image.
S what can parents d t help their children embrace(拥抱) failure instead f aviding it at all csts? Pennisn suggests directing praise twards the effrt, nt the result. “This allws children t build cnfidence in themselves,” she explains. “Acknwledging the effrt can give children permissin t try new things withut a fear f failure. And the bigger picture is that the develpment f the mindset—‘I’d rather try and fail than nt try at all.’ —helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their wrld f pssibilities.” As Pennisn pints ut, we all fail, but hw we get up after we fail is what matters.
8. What aspect d mst peple fcus n when thinking f failure?
A. The great curage t face it.B. The effrts made t handle it.
C. Unexpected benefits it brings.D. Unpleasant side effects it brings.
9. What des the authr intend t d in Paragraph 2?
A. Bring up the main tpic.B. List the challenges in ur life.
C. Add sme backgrund infrmatin.D. Stress the imprtance f the mindset.
10. What is mainly talked abut in the third paragraph?
A. The causes f children’s anxiety.
B Christy Pennisn’s cmments n adlescents.
C. The cnsequences f verprtecting children.
D. Christy Pennisn’s experience in educating children.
11. Which f the fllwing advice can help parents encurage kids t face failure?
A. Praise kids’ every achievement.B. Fcus n the result f kids’ effrt
C. Expand kids’ knwledge abut the wrld.D. Encurage kids t make new attempts.

Happy news arrived frm Clrad this week as Clrad Parks and Wildlife (CPW) annunced that tw wlves, Jhn M2101 and Jane F1084, had been sptted with multiple pups (幼崽). The gray wlves and their pups were first sighted by a wildlife bilgist and CPW district wildlife manager. The gd news fllws the decisin t reintrduce gray wlves t the state just last year.
T gain further cnfirmatin, CPW staff cnducted three separate bservatins t see what was happening at the den (窝) frm a safe distance. This cnfirmed the presence f the cllared wlves Jhn and Jane, wh were jined by three pups. The true grup size remains t be seen, hwever, as it’s pssible there may be mre that have nt yet been sptted. Gray wlf dens usually cntain arund fur t six pups.
“Clrad is nw hme t ur first wlf den since the 1940s,” said Gvernr Jared Plis in a statement. “We welcme this histric den and the new wlf family t Clrad. With vter passage last year f the prject t require reintrductin f the wlf by the end f 2023, these pups will have plenty f ptential mates when they grw up t start their wn families.”
“It’s incredible that these tw adult animals have traveled the distance and vercme the challenges they have t get here, and t nw have pups in Clrad,” said Kris Middledrf, area wildlife manager fr CPW. “Our first duty is t ensure that they have the chance t bm, s even as we have exciting news, we want t remind everyne that these animals remain endangered in Clrad.”
The status f gray wlves is backed up by law in the western state, where killing an endangered species can result in the remval f hunting privileges, a fine f $100, 000, and even jail time. It’s als prhibited t hunt wildlife in the state— but with acute hearing and excellent eyesight, leaving these smart animals shuld be easy enugh if yu dn’t g lking fr them.
12. What made CPW researchers happy recently?
A. They fund gray wlf pups in Clrad.
B. Tw gray wlves were released t the wild.
C The state decided t reintrduce gray wlves.
D. They discvered a few grups f wlves and pups.

B. Clrad vted fr the intrductin f the wlf.
C. Clrad is the best place fr gray wlves t survive.
D. Gray wlves have lived in Clrad fr ver 80 years.
14. What is the Kris’s attitude twards the Clrad gray wlf prject?
