E
But if tasks are too easy, students won't gain useful new knowledge.
But the exact percentage of mistakes to help students learn better is not clear. While 15% worked in the tests, researchers are not sure if the same number fits real classrooms. 3.
C
And students should remember that they don't need to feel sad if they aren't right all the time.

G
Another study from North-western University, US, gives an answer. You have probably heard of the saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." However, this study found that persistence (坚持) only works if you learn from your failures.
5.
B
The faster you try again, the better your chance of success will be next time. Instead, the longer you wait between tries, the more likely you are to fail again in the same way.
A. Students learn best when tasks are simple.
B. The time between tries is also very important.
C. Maybe teachers should set suitable standards for their classes.
D. Teachers should praise students who make the fewest mistakes.
E. If tasks are too difficult, students may give up easily.
F. However, some studies have shown that failure is not always bad.
G. If failure is normal, then how do we learn from it and become successful?
