14、rest countries in the world?The day finally came anyway. The children must have heard the engine and grinding(摩擦声) of the bus tires on the rough road, for as the bus turned the corner, I could see no fewer than fifty sets of clear, brown eyes looking eagerly at us. Immediately sprinting(奋力地跑) toward

15、 us, one little girl, Naomi, leapt into my arms and kissed my face before even saying, “Hola!” Excited by our arrival, the children directed us to the community center, really a basketball court, which had been decorated with colorful paper. Dressed in traditional Bolivian skirts, the teenagers sang

16、 a song as the younger children danced. Having obviously practiced for a long time, they proudly gave us this wonderful show.The orphanage included ten “casas,” each housing a “family” of eight children.

30、recently told a reporter that he stopped watching television 25 years ago, it reminded me that several of my friends had gone TV-free as well. They had really quit TV? It seemed fairly unlikely.And so it was. It turned out that most Americans who “cut the cord(电线)” are not getting rid of their TV se

31、ts. What theyre doing, like my friends, is canceling their cable or satellite TV contracts(合同). Not such a major move, but nice cost savings. You can still watch lots of TV programming these days on your computer or TV by subscribing to(订阅) an online streaming service. Netflix is currently the most

32、popular of those.There is, however, a small group of the population that has adopted a true zero-tolerance principle when it comes to television. Listen to what was said about TV by none other than Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor. In 2010 following his terminal cancer diagnosis, he calle

33、d out TV as the enemy of productivity. “If you really want to have time back in your life,” he said, “unplug(拔插头) you TV and put it in a closet and put a blanket over it.”My friend Laura Schiff, a former journalist, appreciates that point all too well. “Television always felt like a waste of time,”

34、she told me the other day. When her old TV failed, she decided not to replace it. “No regrets. Without TV I get a much deeper understanding of the world and whats going on around us.” The amazing irony(讽刺)：Schiffs late father, Arthur Schiff was the genius behind such memorable TV marketing catchphra

35、ses(广告语) as “Act now and youll also receive.” and “But wait, theres more!”For some Americans, there is no “more”. There is already too, too muchtoo much stupid programming, too much commercials for products no one needs. Most of all, “TV robs us of our precious time,” as author Joshua Fields Millbum

36、 said in his book, Everything That Remains.32. We learn from paragraph 2 that most Americans who cut the cord .A. stop watching TV completely B. get rid of their TV setsC. canceling their TV contracts to save money D. no longer watch TV programs on computer33.

39、increased pressure on kids to be winners, parents tend to make it their responsibility to help their kids succeed in every possible way. But now theres a growing realization among teachers and other experts who work with children that kids increasingly need help in learning how to fail. So how do pa

40、rents teach kids to fail? The following steps may be of help.Show your understanding Understand your child when hes disappointed and frustrated. Dont just say, “Its okay. Youll do better next time.” Its useless to brush off a childs feelings of frustration and disappointment. 36 For example, “I see

41、youre really disappointed, and I know you really wanted to do better.”Make yourself a model Its wise for you to first explain that failure is a part of life and you can share examples of “failures” youve ever had, such as losing out on a promotion at work or failing to accomplish an important task.

42、37 Make it a teachable moment 38 You and your child can try to come up with what he can do next time for a better chance at success. For instance, can he study differently or talk to the teacher about the problem? Can he change something in the future? Its all about problem-solving. 39 It can be ver

43、y tough to watch your child fall down, but he can only learn how to handle disappointment through trial and error. As books like The Blessings of a Skinned Knee and the newly released How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go underline, parents must stop lending a helping hand. 40 Learning to fail can be

44、 painful. But kids will only succeed if they can acquire the skills to handle whatever life throws on their way.A. Step back and allow kids to fail.B. Watch your child fall and give a hand.C. A childs failure is a chance for parents to teach problem-solving skills.D. Afterwards, you can model how to

45、 handle the disappointment in your life.E. Instead, you need to change the language to show your true understanding.F. They must learn to handle their own disappointment through trial and error.G. Otherwise, you rob children of the very experiences that require problem-solving.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分)
