第三部分 阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）

Students often complain their teachers give them too much homework . Now, two reports show that in America this is not true.

The Brookings report shows that most students do less one hour homework . The Rand report shows that only 10% of high school students spend more than two hours a night on homework.

The Brookings report also talks about a study from 1995. American students do almost the least homework among twenty countries. Students in France, Italy and South Africa spend more than two hours on homework.

The Rand report says there was only one time when homework greatly increased in America. During the early 1960s, Americans were not happy when the Soviet Union(前苏联) became the first country to reach space. People thought it was necessary to improve education.

Parents want their children to have time for sports, music lessons and other things after school. Some experts say schools need to give useful homework.

B

In one way, it may be thought that failure is a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.

The “spider-story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(电灯泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.

So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?

Second, is the goal (目标) you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: “If I am successful in this, what will it get me” This may help to prevent(阻止) failure in the things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.

The third thing to remember about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”

( ) 56. Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that ______.

A. people who fail are not lonely

B. animals can help people sometimes

C. nature will help us if we are hard-working

D. confidence is important for one to be successful

( ) 57. Edison’s example shows us that _______.

A. he liked to do other kinds of work

B. he invented many kinds of light bulbs

C. failure may be a way towards success

D. he was a man of many important inventions

( ) 58. If you are not sure about what success will get you, you’d better______.

A. change your goal B. go on with your goal

C. not care for that D. work even harder on your goal

( ) 59. It can be learned from the passage that _______.

A. one should try not to fail

B. one’s failure is another’s success

C.one should take failures seriously

D. one should learn lessons from failures

( ) 60. This passage is mainly about _______.

A. two great men B. two sides of failure

C. ways to keep away from failure

D. the right attitude(态度) towards failure
