19．Last week，my granddaughter started kindergarten，and I wished her success．I was lying．What I actually wish for her is failure．I believe in the power of failure．
Success is boring．Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do，or doing something correctly the first time，which can often be an uncertain victory．First-time success is usually a piece of luck．First-time failure，by contrast，is expected．It is the natural order of things．
Failure is how we learn．I have been told of an African phrase describing a good cook as she who has broken many pots．If you've spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots，probably you know a lot about cooking．I once had a dinner with a group of chefs，and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars．They knew how much certainty their failures gave them．
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column．Each week I am aware that one column is going to be the worst column．I don't set out to write it．I try my best every day and I have learned to cherish that column．Often in my columns of poor quality，I am trying to get through something I've never done before，something I'm not even sure can be done．
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist （蕩秋千演員）．She spent three years putting together an act．She did it successfully for years．There was no reason for her to change the act，but she did anyway．She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored．
So she changed the act．She risked failure and public embarrassment in order to feed her soul．My granddaughter is a perfectionist．She will feel her failures．I hope I can tell her，though，that it isn't the end of the world．Indeed，with luck，it is the beginning．
56．What's the writer's lie to his granddaughter？（No more than 6words）He wished her success．
57．What does the writer want to express by giving the experience of different people？（No more than 15words）Success comes from failure．
58．What does the underlined phrase"by contrast"mean？（No more than 5words）differently； in different way/opinion/idea； by comparison
59．Why does the writer's daughter change the act？（No more than 10words）She wanted to learn something new．
60．Do you agree with the last two sentences"I hope I can tell her，though，that it isn't the end of the world．Indeed，with luck，it is the beginning．"？Why or Why not？（No more than 25words）Yes，i agree．We should try new things and not be afraid of being failure．．
分析 這篇文章主要通過(guò)舉例，說(shuō)明了這樣一個(gè)道理，失敗未必是件壞事，它會(huì)讓我們成長(zhǎng)，學(xué)到更多東西．
解答 56．He wished her success．細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第一段 I wished her success．I was lying可知，我撒謊說(shuō)我希望她成功，其實(shí)我希望她失敗，因?yàn)槲蚁嘈攀〉牧α浚?br />57．Success comes from failure．推理題．根據(jù)作者的介紹，F(xiàn)ailure is how we learn．他認(rèn)為失敗在于我們?nèi)绾挝〗逃?xùn)，其實(shí)他想告訴我們失敗是成功之母．
58．differently； in different way/opinion/idea； by comparison 猜測(cè)詞意題．根據(jù)First-time success is usually a piece of luck．First-time failure，by contrast，is expected．可知，作者認(rèn)為第一次的成功是運(yùn)氣，相反，第一次的失敗是可以預(yù)見(jiàn)的，故by contrast表示對(duì)比．
59．She wanted to learn something new．細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored．可知，作者的女兒放棄表演，主要想學(xué)習(xí)一些新的東西．
60．Yes，i agree．We should try new things and not be afraid of being failure．此題屬于開(kāi)放性，沒(méi)有固定答案，只要符合語(yǔ)境都可以．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀表達(dá)題時(shí)，理清文章的脈絡(luò)、掌握文章的主旨大意，并能運(yùn)用簡(jiǎn)潔的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)．回答要有針對(duì)性觀(guān)點(diǎn)要明確．不要摘抄文章原句．
