Ⅴ．Reading comprehension（共35分，A题各1分，其它各2分。）
（A）
In one way, it may be thought that failure is a part of life. In another, failture may be regarded as a step towards success.
The “spider（蜘蛛）story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole. He watched a spider making a web. Bruce was said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the enemy. 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 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.”
Judge the following sentences true （T） or false （F） according to what you read.
（    ）1．Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that people who fail are not lonely.
（    ）2．Edson’s example shows us that failure may be a way towards success.
（    ）3．If you are not sure about what success will get you, you’d better go on with your goal.
（    ）4．The passage tell us that one should learn lessons from failure.
（    ）5．This passage is mainly about two great men.
