When life gives you lemons, make lemonade (柠檬水).” It is a good saying, but life throws at us more serious problems than lemons, doesn’t it? What do we do when we lose a family member? What do we do when we have been through events that leave us feelings? Can any failure be turned into success?

Most of us realize we can learn one or two things from failure. When we fail, we think, “Well, I won’t try that again!” or “I won’t trust anyone again!” But this is not useful learning. It is suggested that we ask challenging questions. For example, “How could I try that again?” There are a lot we can learn and get from failure if we keep asking good questions on how to do better next time.

Failure or pain can be good for developing our character if we choose to face it in a positive way. Our own suffering often makes us understand others better. It can give us wisdom or knowledge to share with others, which can prevent them from similar failure. If we have been hurt by others because of another person’s poor character, it may improve us to be better persons.

Failures can make us experience many things that we didn’t experience before. If you lose your job, it doesn’t mean you lose everything and probably you may get more. As we know, no job often leads to self employment; no job has been the beginning of many highly successful businesses. It is common that we don’t like changing, but change, even unfortunate change, brings new opportunities. Sometimes only failure brings us better opportunities or greater success.

A great white shark in a California aquarium attacked two soupfin sharks(翅鲨), causing their deaths. The attack was not a natural action for food, but a kind of response when the two sharks swam too close to the great white. The great white didn’t attacked other fellows, but the officials had to move other soupfin sharks to another tank(贮水池) for their safety.

These attacks had given rise to calls for the freedom of the 88-pound, 5-foot-3- inch shark. The aquarium housed the shark in a huge tank. However, according to experts, the tank was not big enough for the shark. Its nose was bloody from striking the glass of the aquarium. Great white sharks in the wild had a big amount of migration, sometimes traveling 50 miles a day. Because the shark was still young, there was possibility of his growing. As it grows, it can become more troubled in the limited space.

Aquarium officials said that keeping the shark in the aquarium allowed them to study their behavior that they cannot study with free great white sharks. With the studied behavioral patterns, scientists believed that they can help great white sharks in the wild.

Since the shark had been on display, the number of people who visited aquarium increased greatly. The one-year-old shark was the longest surviving great white living here. It had been at the Monterey Bay Aquarium for six months. Other great whites did not survive for longer than 16 days in the aquarium.

72. A great white shark’s attacking two soupfin sharks is directly because of ______.

A. the hunger of the great white shark        B. the limited space of the aquarium

C. the fighting between them for food          D. their close touch with each other

73. The underlined word “migration” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ______”.

A. movement   B. food   C. growth  D. power

74. If the great white shark still stays in the aquarium, it will probably ______.

A. hurt itself often               B. attack the visitors

C. stop growing up         D. cause more trouble

75. According to aquarium officials, we can learn that_______.

A. the great white shark can live longer in the aquarium.

B. the great white shark will be set free back to the sea.

C. the great white shark will have to stay in the aquarium.

D. the great white sharks in the wild are in great danger.
