Growing up is not easy, it is not always in May. As school kids, you may meet many failures and difficulties.1of them are always being around you Now I have two questions for you. One is "When you face difficulties or failures, how do you feel?" That must be bad, isn't it? And2 one is "How do you overcome them?"
You may regard failure as a bad thing. You may think all you have done is3You may feel sad and lose heart. However, you can't be confident4you have changed your point of view. You will no longer feel sorry for yourself because you can find almost nobody gets only success in his life. And failure isn't a bad thing but a good one, for failure can benefit you as well. It can5you a good lesson and let you be calmer. You can realize your own weakness and improve6. So once you start again, it may be easier for you to succeed.
It is true that failure is an important factor (因素) toward success. Success is 7on various difficulties and failures. In front of them, some people lose the confidence to start again or even lose interest in life, but others keep working hard and achieve(达成) the final success. Don't you know many important inventions or experiments were achieved after hundreds of failures? And only those successes after many failures are really valuable and worth 8 awards.
Actually, any failure or difficulty doesn't mean much to you in your study, it just means you9yet As long as you keep working with your courage and belief, you can reach the stage on10you can show all your talents. Therefore, are you ready? You are just at the beginning of success!

Miss Bailey taught us English in middle school. She always cycled to school, and then when entering the school gate, she would give her bicycle to anyone of us to park it for her. It was a privilege(特权) when Miss Bailey gave her bicycle to you. One day, Jack stood at the gate. He was a hunchback(驼背的人).
We laughed and said, "Move out of the way, Jack! Miss Bailey is going to enter! Miss Bailey rode in and we all rushed to offer hands to her But Miss Bailey looked past us all. "Will you park it for me? she asked We looked back to see who it was and were surprised to see it was towards Jack. "l don 't think so, Miss Bailey!" Said Jack. "why? You lazy boy! "said Miss Bailey playfully(调皮地]. "You don't want to help your teacher, do you? "Of course I want to, Miss Bailey! "said Jack "But I might drop your bicycle." "If you drop it, you pick it up" said the teacher with a smile.
Then she gave her bicycle to Jack and didn't look to see how he'd manage. With confidence in his abilities,
Miss Bailey turned and walked to class. We watched Jack as he held her bicycle. We held our breath as we thought it was going to fall. Jack refused our help. It seemed that his hump(驼背) disappeared as he drew himself to his full height, and then with growing confidence he pushed Miss Bailey's bike to the parking area. We all rushed to class when the school bell rang. Jack was the last to enter, but we were surprised. It was a different boy who walked in.
Miss Bailey didn't even look at him as he waked to her and handed her the keys. From that day on, Jack was always ready to answer questions in class and his grades went up quickly. Miss Bailey's trust and special teaching methods gave Jack plenty of confidence, so he could change his attitude towards life and study. Confidence is really important in everyone's growth and it can help a person overcome difficulties and believe in himself.
Today almost everyone has a smart phone. So street phone booths(公用电话亭) are out of date and seem to be useless. But cities like Shanghai are trying to bring the old phone booths to life.
Shanghai will make changes to 263 phone booths in Xuhui District. Street phone booths have many other new usages(用途). The Library Booth is one of the new kinds of booths, offering 60 booths for people to borrow and read new books. Another kind allows users to listen to audiobooks and even record their own voices.
Shanghai is not the only city trying to save the old phone booths. London cares about them even more, because the red booths have long been a special scene in London since the1930s when they were painted all red. In recent years, London has come up with many ideas to help phone booths stay useful. UK company British Telecom has added screens and free WiFi to some booths. Users can use them to surf online and search for maps and weather reports. The company also allows people to rent some booths to change them as they want to. Since 2009, more than' 1, 500 phone booths have been turned into flower shops, coffee houses, art museums and even shower rooms.
In New York City, three phone booths in Time Square are turned into places for government voices. When visitors pick up the phone, they can listen to some new policies (政策) about New York or listen to the stories of New York city. They can also open the books inside the booth to know more about the storytellers. Or they can share a part of their own stories if they wish.
Phone booths are finding creative ways to live on. Only time will tell whether phone booths will succeed.
In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called "satellite kids, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
