失败不是坏事。
文章通过举例说明失败了不要放弃,要从失败中吸取教训并坚持下去才会取得成功。
24.答案D解析:
细节理解题。
根据文章第一段可知,从小时候起,我们身边的人就重视完美,父母希望我们的成绩都是A,教练希望我们都得金牌,人们在社交媒体上展示的都是最美好的一面。
这些说明目前的社会给成功施加了很大的压力。
25.答案B解析:
细节理解题。
根据第三段第三、四句“Itteachesyoutostickwithataskevenwhenitgetshard.Theabilitytodothisiscalledgrit(毅力).”可知,即使任务很难,它(失败)教会你要去坚持。
这种能力就是毅力。
结合下文的内容“Topeoplewithgrit,failureisnotareasontogiveup...”也可知答案。
有毅力的人面对失败也不会放弃,因此他们还是会继续努力。
26.答案B解析:
推理判断题。
EvanWilliams2005年开发的名为Odeo的app不受欢迎,他没有放弃,又经过了几年的努力,终于开发出了社交媒体Twitter。
这个故事说明面对失败不要轻言放弃,终会有成功的一天。
