In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In a1.way, failure may be a way towards success. Edison, the i 2.of the light bulb（灯泡）, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked w3.he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he smiled and said, “Failure? I have no failure. Now I know 50,000 ways that won't w4..
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? Then you can decide w5.to keep on working hard or try it in a better way, and things will probably not go wrong n6.time.
Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think c7. about this question. “If I am able to achieve my goal, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.
The t8.thing to keep in mind about failure is that it's mother of success. Don’t give up easily. Learn to “live with yourself" even t9.you may have failed. Maybe this will help you s10.in what you are doing in the end.

I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.
1. Friends of convenience(便利). They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children’s closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They’ll help us when we need it. They’ll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don’t ever get too close or tell too much. Between us, we’ll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed(失望). However, people still find it necessary to make friends like this.
2. Special-interest friends. These friendships aren’t deeply personal or emotional(感情上的). They lie in some shared interests, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
3. Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when…maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.
The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. But we’re still a personal part of each other’s past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened(矫正), and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.
4. Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that from across generations(代). I have in my own life a precious(珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is clever, who listens well, and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I’d like to be when I grow up.
Best friends, I believe, totally love and help each other.

The Beijing Underground’s Line Ten will soon have 40 “reverse vending machines（有偿自动回收机）”,which will pay people for their empty plastic bottles.
