Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compare. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water

that had been recycled from ;their. urine (尿)，sweat and water got from air. They said "cheers,"

clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground.

The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also

will have NASA money because it won't have to ship up as much water to the station by space

shuttles or cargo rockets. Besides, it's. important as the space station is about to expand from three

people living on beard to six.

The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November by space

shuttles Endeavour, but it couldn't be used until samples were tested back on earth: So when it

came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The -three-man crew stood holding

their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centers that worked on the system.

"This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction,” American astronaut Michael

Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. "The taste is worth trying."

The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank,

where the water is boiled off, and the vapor is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away.

Then the water vapor is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters(过滤器).

When six crew members are aboard it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours.

“Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on

earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap,” said Marybeth Edeen, the space

station's national lab manager.

The technology NASA developed for his system has already been used for quick water

purification after the 2004 Asian tsunami.

53.  According to the text, the recycling system is important because______.

A.it makes traveling to he moon for the average person possible

B.with it NASA won't need to ship any water up the space station

C.it can help meet the need for more water after the crew is expanded

D. it protects the environment in space by reducing the amount of waste

C考查细节理解。根据第二段中的it won't have to ship up as much water to the station by space

shuttles or cargo rockets. Besides, it's. important as the space station is about to expand from three

people living on beard to six.可知选C。

54. From paragraph 5，we can know________.

A. the theory behind the recycling system   B.the effect of the recycling system

C. an opinion on recycling urine             D. the process of recycling urine

D考查判断、推理。根据The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away.可知，这是循环利用的过程。

55. What did Edeen say about recycled urine and the recycling system?

A. The taste of recycled urine is not as good as that of common water.

B. The recycling system has made a science fiction story come true，

C. The idea of drinking recycled urine makes astronauts feel unpleasant.

D. It takes a longer time on earth to make water from urine than in space.

D考查判断、推理。根据it is also done on earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap可知，在地球上，把尿净化成自来水需要更长的时间。

56. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Research of NASA Has Made Great Progress

B. New Technology Is Used in the Space Station

C. Drink up Space Station Recycles Urine to Water

No one likes to make mistakes. But a new study says organizations learn more from their

failures than from their successes, and keep that knowledge longer.

One of the researchers was Vinit Desai, an assistant professor at the University of Colorado

Denver Business School. He worked with Peter Madsen from the Marriott School of Management

at Brigham Young University in Utah.

They did not find much long-term "organizational learning" from success. It is possible, they

say But Professor Desasays they found that knowledge gained from failure lasts for years.

He says organizations should treat failures as a learning opportunity and not try to ignore

them.

The study looked at companies and organizations that launch satellites一and other space

vehicles. Professor Desai compared two shuttle flights.

In two thousand two, a piece of insulating(隔热的)material broke of, during launch and

damaged a rocket on the Atlantis. Still, the flight was considered a success.

Then, in early two thousand three, a piece of insulation struck the Columbia during launch.

This time, the shuttle broke apart on re-entry and the seven crew members died. NASA officials

suspended all flights and an investigation led to suggested changes.

Professor Desai says the search for solutions after a failure can make leaders more

open-minded. He points to airlines as an example of an industry that has learned from failures in

the past.

He advises organizations to look for useful information in small failures and failures they

avoided. He also urges leaders to encourage the open sharing of information. The study appeared

in the Academy of Management Journal

The mistakes we learn from do not have to be our own. We recently asked people on our

Facebook page to tell us a time they had done something really silly.

Fabricio Cmino wrote: Not long ago I wanted to watch TV, but it wouldn't turn on, so I did

everything I could to start it. Thirty minutes later my mum showed up and, passing by, said to me

"Did you try plugging it'? I’m just dusting，Mum!”So she wouldn't notice how dumb I am

sometimes!

Bruno Kanieski da Silva told about a time he looked everywhere for his key. It was in his

pocket. He wrote：I always promise I will never do it again, but after-a few weeks___，where is my

wallet? For sure it will be in a very logical place.
