“Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their lives. Sometimes wise people make foolish(愚蠢的) choices. It doesn’t mean they’re foolish; it means they’re improving!” Sometimes mistakes mean something that you are trying new things. It’s good to try new things. Because when you are trying new things, you are growing. If you never have a try, you will never make progress. Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things. I remember clearly what life was like back in 2006. I was 17 years old and in a really bad place. In a chemistry 1ab, I was doing an experiment(实验). I tried twenty times, but I couldn’t succeed. So I decided to stop doing the experiment. I felt a little unhappy. Mr. Green seemed to understand my thought. He touched my head with a smile, “Young man, you have done a lot and you’ve got a lot. At least you know that there are twenty ways you can’t use to do this experiment.” After hearing the words, I became excited again. I kept doing the experiment and at last I did succeed. 1.What’s the purpose of the writer in writing the first paragraph? A.Mistakes can stop you from succeeding.

A father was sitting at his desk and looking at his bills when his little son rushed in and said, “Dad, because today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old, I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started kissing, the father shouted, “Oh, Andrew, don’t do it now. I’m too busy!” The boy soon became silent as tears(眼泪) fell down from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said, “You can finish the kisses later .” The boy said nothing but quietly walked away. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t. Unluckily, a few days later, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote,“If only I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words and how much my heart is hurt.” Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving acts, or others will take it as a “No” and it may leave a scar(伤痕). If we don’t have love, our life will lose its true meaning.
