四、阅读理解。
Lily was a 14-year-old student who loved painting. Last year, she joined a school art competition. She spent two weeks working on her painting, hoping to win first prize. However, she only got a participation certificate(参与证书). Lily felt so sad that she stopped painting for a month.
One day, her art teacher, Ms. Brown, noticed her dejection. She sat down with Lily and said, “Every artist faces failures. The key is to learn from them, not to give up.” Ms Brown showed Lily some of her old paintings—they were not as good as Lily’s current work. Lily was surprised to see this.
Ms. Brown then encouraged Lily to join a community art show. At first, Lily was afraid to try again. But with her teacher’s support, she decided to give it a go. She improved her old painting by adding more colors and details. This time, many visitors praised her work, and a local artist even asked her to join a youth art club.
Lily learned an important lesson: not every effort brings success right away, but staying positive and trying again will lead to good things. Now, she paints every day and always shares her works with her classmates.
