    Jin Yong is a famous writer in China． He has written a great number of classic novels,  but few of them have been translated into foreign languages． Translating Jin yong's works is often a difficult task because of the complexity（复杂） of his language． In his novels,  he uses poems and other Chinese idioms（习语） in order to create the feeling of traditional Chinese novels．
    An English girl called Anna Holmwood first tried to translate Chinese novels in 2010．Since then,  she has been interested in translating Chinese works． In 2012,  she started translating Jin Yong's novels．
    In an interview,  she said, "I already had an interest in China and Chinese history． A trip to China in 2005 had a big influence on me． After two months in China,  I felt that the only way I would satisfy my interest in the country , its people and the culture would be to learn Chinese"
    "A lot of people are interested in the way I have interested the names of the novels or parts of martial arts（武术）, but these aren't really the most important of whether or not a translation is successful． It's all about whether the English reader will be drawn into the emotions（情感） and the characters,  that he or she will be amazed by the spirit and culture behind the stories．"

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题60 分）B.任务型阅读 （共1小题，每小题10分，计10分）阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词．

20. What can help us when we fail？
*Don't make yourself stop trying．
A baby learns to walk not by walking， but by falling． He doesn't give up until he learns to walk．You can do something new successfully if you keep trying． Sometimes， you may feel sad because you don't make much progress． But if you give up， your progress will come to an end．
*Understand the power of optimism（乐观）．
Optimism can open you up to more possibilities than usual． To be optimistic（乐观的） means to believe something good will always happen． Kids don't ask whether they can do something or not，because they know they can．
*Learn to depend on yourself first， then others．
Those who are independent（独立的） can deal with problems and stress more easily than those who aren't． And you should be more confident to be independent．
*Don't look back．
It take adults too much of their lives to look back． There's nothing back there to see． A baby wouldn't learn to walk if he kept looking behind himself while trying to move forward． Use just 10 percent more of your time to look forward and you'll find yourself in a better situation．
Failure（失败） is a part of life since the earliest moment of life． It's a normal and natural part of life that is neither bad nor good﹣﹣﹣it's just how we learn． So the question isn't whether you want to fail or not，but how quickly you can accept your failure． Just learn something from it， and try again．
