(2019·大庆实验中学高一上学期期末考试)
Many of the world's most successful people were once successful failures.Here are the stories of a few of them.
Abraham Lincoln (1809~1865)
Abraham Lincoln was one of America's greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War (from 1860 to 1865).However, his life was never easy.He started numerous businesses that failed, he went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office.He later said,“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content and satisfied with your failure.”
Vincent Van Gogh (1853~1890)
Van Gogh is one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art.He's famous for paintings such as The Starry Night, The potato Eaters and Sunflowers.However, during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money.Despite this, he carried on painting, sometimes even going without food so he could complete his collection of over 800 known works.
Albert Einstein (1879~1955)
Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921.However, he wasn't always considered a genius.He didn't speak until he was four, and couldn't read until he was seven.His teachers and parents thought he was slow, so he was driven from school and couldn't get into the Zurich Polytechnic School.He later famously said,“Success is failure in progress.”
Stephen King (1947~2018)
Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all time, but his first book, Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers.Finally, Stephen threw it into the bin, but his wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, which he did and succeeded this time!

B
A nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle (水潭、泥坑) between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet.He thought his heart was going to stop because he couldn't possibly imagine how this had happened.It had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out he would never hear the end of it.When the girls found out, they would never speak to him again as long as he lived.
He prayed this prayer,“Dear God, I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat!” He looked up from his prayer and here came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said he had been discovered.As the teacher was walking toward him, a classmate named Susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full of water.Susie tripped (绊倒)
in front of the teacher and dumped (倒) the bowl of water in the boy's lap.The boy pretended to be angry, but all the while was saying to himself,“Thank you, Lord!”
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy was the object of sympathy.The teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out.All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk.The sympathy was wonderful.But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred (转移) to someone else—Susie.She tried to help, but they told her to get out.
When school was over, the boy walked over to Susie and whispered,“You did that on purpose, didn't you?” Susie whispered back,“I wet my trousers once, too!”
