    A good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resume(简历)or CV. Like social mediatherewe usually only see our friends’“highlight part”. When we look at others’resumeswe get scared and think how ours doesn’t measure up. But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them—we just don’t see it.

Stefan felt this deeply as a scientistso she wrote a different CV which of course boasted (夸耀)about her good gradesPhDand published papers. But the way she deals with her failure CV is a model of what we could a11 do.

“My CV does not reflect my great academic efforts—it does not mention the exams I failedmy unsuccessful PhD or scholarship applicationsor the papers never accepted for publication. During the interviewsI talk about the one project that workednot about the many that failed”writes Stefan in a column for Nature.com.

Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you logcasually but regularlyevery unsuccessful applicationrefused grant proposal and rejected paper.

And that’s the pointnot to consider what we got wrongbut to use that information to both look at failure and realize it’s really okayand also to use our failures for another purposeas learning tools.

The point is to be real—with ourselves and about how the world works. Being real means taking an honestcriticalbut also kind look at what we didn’t get rightand then doing our best to change what we can. Instead of focusing on how that failure makes you feeltake the time to step back and analyze the practicaloperational reasons that you failed.

Soprctice being okay with failureand turning your failures into lessons learned. And yessometimes we have to learn those lessons more than onceletting go of what you can’t change. And keep moving forward to success.

1.What does the underlined word“it”in the first paragraph refer to?

A.Plenty of failure. B.A failure resume.

A.A11 her failures in her career.

B.Benefits she got from her failures.

C.The content of her own resume.

D.The difference between her resume and others’.

3.What does Stefan advise us to do in our careers?

A.Regard failures as part of our life.

B.Keep a record of our failures.

C.Value our achievements.

D.Long for failures.

4.Which of the following best describes the author’s opinion?

    There are around 600,000 vegans (素食者) in the UK. That' s just over 1% of the population — an amount expected to increase to 25% by 2025. And if there's one type of food that Brits love, it is fast food. People in the UK love it so much that there was a 34% increase in the number of fast food outlets from 2010 to 2018.

And big franchises such as McDonald's and KFC have announced meat-free chicken nuggets (鸡块) to come in the future.

What's. driving this popularity? Katrina Fox, founder of Vegan Business Media, believes it's the result of the breaking down of stereotypes (成见). ''Vegan food is no longer seen as a bit of lettuce and lentils — you can eat pretty much anything".

It's also claimed that there are health benefits. John Marulanda, owner of Mooshies is a vegan burger bar in London — wants to implement “a change to a healthy version of fast food. Something, he claims, that comes as a result of the inherent nutritional value of the ingredients they use.

But, is vegan fast food actually healthy? Azmina Govindji of the British Dietetic Association says ''not to assume" that is the case, ''It' s fine if those products have got vitamin B12, iodine or calcium added to them. but they can still be fried, it can still have lots of creamy, fatty sauces and lots of salt.

Given the current growth in orders, the trend for vegan fast food isn't likely to disappear any time soon, Health — wise, it may not be any more nourishing than regular fast food, but for many the lack of animal suffering involved in the process is a big plus.

    A call came into Jimmy Gilleece’s bar. A newly married woman, who had spent the afternoon at his bar, couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or 150 in cash-but her wedding ring was inside.

Gilleece, 42, didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he determined to find the wallet. He spent hours on videos from surveillance (监控) cameras, watching the woman’s every step in the bar. Within minutes, a young man approached the bar, put something in his pocket, and walked off.

Gilleece posted a clip (视频片段) on the bar’s Facebook page to find out who the young man was. Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old Rivers Prather, who said he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.

Gilleece told the teen to meet him at the docks (码头). There they talked a lot and Gilleece knew that Prather was from a poor family. Seeing the teenager’s small build, Gilleece thought he was more of a kid than a criminal. However, because of the missing ring, Prather could be put into prison.

Gilleece decided to help the kid. He hired two local divers to search the waters where the wallet had been thrown. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Gilleece grew worried. And then a diver popped up. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring. When Gilleece called the wallet’s owner, she burst into tears and immediately dropped the charge against Prather for stealing the ring.

1.What did the woman value most in her wallet?

A.Her ID. B.Her credit cards.

C.Her money. D.Her wedding ring.

2.What did Prather do after getting the wallet?

A.He kept the ring. B.He spent the money in it.

C.He threw it in a dustbin. D.He returned it to the owner.

3.Why did Gilleece help Prather?

A.To teach the child a lesson. B.To meet the customer 's demand.

C.To save the forgivable child. D.To win back the reputation of his bar.

4.What would happen to Prather next?

A.He would be sent to prison. B.He would not be accused by the woman.

C.He would get a job in Gilleece’s bar. D.He would live a better life ever after.
