Question

Do you know how to deal with failure at school? Four steps will help you get the most out of each failure and more on.

1. When you feel bad after failing, talk with your parents or good friends, or any other adult. Then decide to take the duty to improve yourself. Read the teachers’ comments on your test carefully.

Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed. 2.Maybe you didn’t have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision. If so, give yourself a pat on the back. Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it, and often it takes them many times. 3.Sometimes the failure isn’t because of something you did or didn’t do; it is someone else’s fault. But don’t spend time blaming them; instead, move on toward your goals.

4. . Review the situation to see what your choices are. There is a different between making a decision and giving up. Deciding to follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.

Keep trying again. Successful people are different because they choose their next steps instead of just reacting to feelings. If a goal still important to you, figure out what to do and go after it again.5..

【解析】这是一篇介绍说明类文章。文章介绍了对待失败，解决失败的四个步骤。

1.下文提到，当失败后感觉不好的时候，可以和家长，好朋友等谈一谈。然后下定决心提高自己。认真读老师在试卷上的评语。这些措施都是为了消除掉你的不好的感觉。故D选项正确。

2.上一句提到：问问自己想要做什么，为什么会失败。下文中的两个maybe介绍了你失败的两个可能的原因。故承上启下，该句也应该介绍你可能失败的原因，故G选项切题：有可能是因为你正在尝试一种新技能或者你在学习一门新的课程。

3.下文提到：有时候，失败并不是因为你做或者不做某件事。有可能它是别人的错误造成的。但是不要把时间浪费在责备别人身上。相反地，要朝着目标前进。所以该段告诉我们，不管失败的原因是什么，我们都不要理会。故B选项适合做该段标题：失败是不可避免的。

4.下一句提到，下决心和放弃之间是有差别的。故F选项切题：回顾一下情况看看你的选择是什么。

5.上一句提到，如果一个目标对你来说仍然是重要的，那么，你要弄清楚自己要做什么，再次为这个目标努力。承接该句，C选项正确：如果它不重要，那么，竭尽全力去做其他的事情。
