Gradually Rald became mre and mre successful. He always did his writing in an ld shed (棚) at the back f his huse. He always sat in the same ld armchair with a wden bard n his lap.
“One f the nice things abut being a writer,” he nce said, “is that all yu need is what yu’ve gt in yur head and a pencil. and a bit f paper.
In 1983, Rald wn a big prize fr his bk The BFG. During his life, Rald wrte many famus bks, such as Charlie and the Chclate Factry, Matilda, Fantastic Mr Fx.

We’ve all experienced failure. Whether we like it r nt failure is part f life. Hw peple respnd t it is f great imprtance bth t their decisins and achievements. Sme are likely t have such expectatins: “If I shuld reach that gal, hw happy wuld I feel?” In a recent study, we wanted t understand hw such expectatins may change in the face f failure. Are peple able t predict their wn happiness?
The ld saying “the grass is always greener n the ther side” suggests that peple spend much f their time searching fr things they can’t have. In ther wrds, the harder it is t achieve, the higher the valuatin. But is this a gd mdel fr hw rdinary peple prcess failure? Accrding t the stry The Fx and the Grapes, failure ften leads us t drp ur initial (最初) plan. In the stry, the fx jumps with all his strength, yet he fails t reach the grapes. Finally, he walks away, cncluding that the grapes were sur (酸的) anyway.
S, which is it: greener grass r sur grapes? We did an experiment t determine hw peple react t failure.
In the study, abut 1,200 participants (参加者) received either gd r pr feedback (反馈) n the practice trial f a test. Half f them were tld that they had perfrmed in the bttm 20 percent, while the ther half, in the tp 20 percent. They were then asked t predict hw they wuld feel if they earned a high scre n the actual test.
The research results shwed that thse wh received pr feedback n the practice trial predicted that they wuld feel less happiness and less pride, cmpared t thse wh received strng feedback. Hwever, when they received a tp scre n the actual test later, they were just as happy as the ther half, and much happier than they had predicted befre. This suggests that the initial failure made peple undervalue hw gd it wuld feel t succeed in the future.
The questin thugh, is why failure makes us dwnplay ur future happiness. Accrding t Prfessr Jn Elster, peple dn’t always knw what they want, and ften change their wishes t match what appears within reach. When the utcme desn’t fit the ne they have f themselves, they prtect themselves by devaluing the gal—rather than devaluing themselves. In ther wrds, when persnal failure happens, ne way f prtecting ur psitive (积极的) sense f self is t refuse t accept the emtinal imprtance f future achievements.
Detachment (超脱) frm persnal gals can be useful, if it helps peple redirect their attentin frm the impssible t better and mre achievable gals. Hwever, if the sur-grape effect kicks in t early and peple becme fearful f failure, they culd miss ut n the chance t try again and realize that what nce seemed impssible is nw within reach.
33. What des the stry The Fx and the Grapes suggest?
A. The utcme valuatin depends n what gal is set.
B. Difficulties result in a higher achievement expectatin.
C. Past perfrmance desn’t help predict future happiness.
D. Initial failure makes future success appear less attractive.
34. The wrd “dwnplay” in Paragraph 6 prbably means “________”.
A. undervalueB. better understandC. destryD. discver
35. What d we knw frm the passage?
A. The participants cared mre abut strng feedback.
B. The happier peple are thse wh predict less happiness.
C. The participants’ perfrmance failed t match their abilities.
D. Peple devalue the gal t keep a psitive view f themselves.
36. What is the writer trying t tell us?
A. Failure is the mther f success.
B. Detachment stps peple frm changing wishes.
C. The seemingly impssible is wrth trying smetimes.
D. The sur-grape effect pushes us t keep mving frward.

“Call fire statin.” He shuted, cncentrating t frm the wrds. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”
“Five-ten,” the center replied.

We’ve all experienced failure. Whether we like it r nt failure is part f life. Hw peple respnd t it is f great imprtance bth t their decisins and achievements. Sme are likely t have such expectatins: “If I shuld reach that gal, hw happy wuld I feel?” In a recent study, we wanted t understand hw such expectatins may change in the face f failure. Are peple able t predict their wn happiness?
The ld saying “the grass is always greener n the ther side” suggests that peple spend much f their time searching fr things they can’t have. In ther wrds, the harder it is t achieve, the higher the valuatin. But is this a gd mdel fr hw rdinary peple prcess failure? Accrding t the stry The Fx and the Grapes, failure ften leads us t drp ur initial (最初) plan. In the stry, the fx jumps with all his strength, yet he fails t reach the grapes. Finally, he walks away, cncluding that the grapes were sur (酸的) anyway.
S, which is it: greener grass r sur grapes? We did an experiment t determine hw peple react t failure.
In the study, abut 1,200 participants (参加者) received either gd r pr feedback (反馈) n the practice trial f a test. Half f them were tld that they had perfrmed in the bttm 20 percent, while the ther half, in the tp 20 percent. They were then asked t predict hw they wuld feel if they earned a high scre n the actual test.
The research results shwed that thse wh received pr feedback n the practice trial predicted that they wuld feel less happiness and less pride, cmpared t thse wh received strng feedback. Hwever, when they received a tp scre n the actual test later, they were just as happy as the ther half, and much happier than they had predicted befre. This suggests that the initial failure made peple undervalue hw gd it wuld feel t succeed in the future.
The questin thugh, is why failure makes us dwnplay ur future happiness. Accrding t Prfessr Jn Elster, peple dn’t always knw what they want, and ften change their wishes t match what appears within reach. When the utcme desn’t fit the ne they have f themselves, they prtect themselves by devaluing the gal—rather than devaluing themselves. In ther wrds, when persnal failure happens, ne way f prtecting ur psitive (积极的) sense f self is t refuse t accept the emtinal imprtance f future achievements.
Detachment (超脱) frm persnal gals can be useful, if it helps peple redirect their attentin frm the impssible t better and mre achievable gals. Hwever, if the sur-grape effect kicks in t early and peple becme fearful f failure, they culd miss ut n the chance t try again and realize that what nce seemed impssible is nw within reach.
33. What des the stry The Fx and the Grapes suggest?
A. The utcme valuatin depends n what gal is set.
B. Difficulties result in a higher achievement expectatin.
C. Past perfrmance desn’t help predict future happiness.
D. Initial failure makes future success appear less attractive.
34. The wrd “dwnplay” in Paragraph 6 prbably means “________”.
A. undervalueB. better understandC. destryD. discver
35. What d we knw frm the passage?
A. The participants cared mre abut strng feedback.
B. The happier peple are thse wh predict less happiness.
C. The participants’ perfrmance failed t match their abilities.
D. Peple devalue the gal t keep a psitive view f themselves.
36. What is the writer trying t tell us?
A. Failure is the mther f success.
B. Detachment stps peple frm changing wishes.
C. The seemingly impssible is wrth trying smetimes.
D. The sur-grape effect pushes us t keep mving frward.
