問題詳情:
In March 1987, I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence. It was a very proud moment for me. I’d worked hard for over a year to create it, and the premiere issue (首次發刊) was a real success. Shortly after we had mailed 25,000 copies, I received one in the mail. But this one wasn’t as beautiful as the ones we’d sent out. It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors (語法錯誤) in it. A talented editor had read it carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined. I felt abashed. A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (內容). The stories were good, but the errors this woman had found showed that our magazine was far from being excellent. At first, I was not satisfied with my editor for not having avoided the mistakes, and dissatisfied with the woman who seemed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out. Later, I was dissatisfied with myself for not having employed a better editor. Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistake. I called the talented editor. I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully. Painful as it was, I accepted responsibility for it. Then I offered her the job of editing our magazine. The result was a great improvement in it; we could now be very proud of our magazine. From this I learnt that an upsetting moment can be an opportunity to see the truth, and it can help to prevent one making the same mistakes, and to make "excellence" a reality. 28. From the first paragraph we learn that _____. A. the author put little effort into her first magazine B. the author’s job was selling magazines C. the author was very satisfied with her work D. the author experienced a total failure 29. What does the underlined word "abashed" in the third paragraph mean? A. Excited. B. Embarrassed.
C. Interested. D. Exhausted. 30. What do we learn about the woman who found the errors in the magazine? A. She was causing trouble on purpose. B. She liked pointing out the errors of others. C. She contributed a lot to the success of the premiere issue. D. She ended up joining the magazine team. 31. What do we learn from this passage? A. Pride is the biggest enemy of success. B. Success is behind many failures. C. Pointing out others’ mistakes can help you find a job. D. Accepting responsibility for one’s errors can lead to real excellence.
