When it comes to November 11, what’s on your mind? Well, as to the old people, it’s only a common day. However, the young will consider it as the Singles’ Day as well as the on-line shopping carnival(狂欢节). In fact, on November 11th, 2014, Tmall and Taobao (the biggest Chinese online shopping platform) has sold out more than 57 billion yuan goods. This data(数据) has surprised the media(媒体)at home and abroad. Apparently, people have more interests on cyber (网络)shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home media even suggest that November 11th should be the Chinese on-line shopping carnival.
In 2010, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall and Taobao, had coined the term “Double Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their own festival. Instead of dating lovers, people go on-line shopping to relive(再体验) the loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the main force of the China’s spending power. The debut(开张) was a great success. Then “11.11” has an unusual meaning, which stands for on-line shopping carnival.
Do old people think November 11^th the Singles’ Day?

Later because of bad weather, the underwater rescue(救援)and search have been greatly difficult．Efforts were also being made to prevent the ship’s oil from going further into the sea．
The government has come under fire as it showed the accident had been caused partly because of the misleading of government and lack of safety measures．It was also criticized(谴责) for failing to save the people quickly during the early rescue hours when the accident happened．
South Koreans were especially heart-broken by the fact that most of the dead and missing were students on a class trip．People who were saved reported that the captain and staff of the ship ordered passengers to stay inside and not to move while the ship was sinking off．It was probably one of the reasons why people still died after they had already worm the life jackets．

请阅读一篇关于“电视选秀”的文章，根据所提供的信息，完成下列表格。
Nowadays, there are more and more TV talent shows. they are very popular all over China.
These talent shows give everyone a chance(机会) to show off their talents. for some lucky people, these shows may make them famous, and can even make them rich. However, there are also many bad sides. First, some young people just imitate（模仿） the people they admire(钦佩 ) . They may forget about their own style. Second, young people spend too much time on such TV shows. They always dream of being a star. So they spend less time on their studies.
I think TV talent shows are social activities(社会活动 ). Young people can take part in these activities to get social experience（经验）. But they should know that the chance of being famous is very small for most people and they should know that their schoolwork is much more important. In a word, you can do what you like, but you should know what is important and what is not.

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I stopped the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked out of the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old ,running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱）.The boy would then fall to the grass, get up and without looking back at his mother, still with a smile on his face.
At that moment ,I thought to myself, “Why can’t most adults this way?” Most adults,when they fall down, they would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. They would end up too afraid to try again for fear of failure.
Kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed. While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was also touched by the manner in which he did. I learned a lot from that   and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits（追求) in life.
What did the boy’s mother do when the boy was running freely on the grass?
                                                
How would adults feel when someone saw them fall?
                                                
What do kids often treat their falling down as?
                                                
What was the writer deeply impressed by?
                                                
What do you think failure is?(请自拟一句话作答)
