【题目】 Success does not belong to a select group of individuals (个人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.
Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.
Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.
Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.
Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.
Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination (终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.
Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change, you will change, and you will succeed.
【1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success?
A.Working hard.B.Good education.C.Strong desire.D.Enjoying failure.
【2】What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.” ?
A.It’s not easy for people to develop their health.
B.You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.
C.Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.
D.Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage?
A.If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.
B.If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.
C.Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.
D.Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey.
【4】The best title of the passage might be________.
A.The Importance of SuccessB.The Meaning of Success
C.Success or FailureD.The Five Main Steps to Success
【5】We can find the article in the ________ part of a newspaper .
A.newsB.educationC.entertainmentD.advertisement

成功属于那些愿意追求成功、尽力去做他们必须做的事的人。本篇推荐一些要想取得成功实用的方法：要有实现目标的强烈愿望、必须在场、欢迎失败、更加努力工作、享受成功的过程，所以要改变自己才能成功。
【1】推理判断题。本篇从“Desire；Show up；welcome failure ；Work Harder.；Enjoy the Journey”等几个方面陈述如何取得成功，没有提到好的教育；故选B。
【2】词句猜测题。根据第五段“Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.”可知每个人都跑，但每个人都不愿意每天跑一个小时，言下之意，愿意坚持优秀的做事习惯是成功的原因。故选C。
【3】推理判断题。本篇从“Desire；Show up；Work Harder.；Enjoy the Journey；change, and you will succeed.”等几个方面陈述如何取得成功，没有提到才能，所以A表述错误；根据第三段“if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.”可知如果你不在场，你就不会成功，所以B表述错误；根据第五段“Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do.”可知成功不是做普通人做不到的事，所以C表述错误；根据第四段“So welcome failure,become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed”第六段“success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey”可知要享受成功路上的得与失，所以D表述正确；故选D。
【4】最佳标题。本篇从“Desire；Show up；Work Harder.；Enjoy the Journey；change, and you will succeed.”等几个方面陈述如何取得成功；故选D。
【5】推理判断题。news新闻；education教育；entertainment娱乐；advertisement广告；本篇的主题是推荐一些如何取得成功的实用的方法，推断本文来自教育的相关部分；故选B。

【题目】请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，完成下面的信息卡。
In mid-June. school is out and nature has burst into life.It seems like the sun never sets. In fact, in the north of Sweden it doesn’t, and in the south only for an hour or two. This calls for celebration! Friends and family gather for the most typically Swedish tradition of all: Midsummer
At Midsummer, many begin their five-week holidays and everyone is in a hurry to get things done during the short summer season. Midsummer Eve is celebrated in the countryside. As always—and on the day before, everyone leaves town, everything closes and the city streets are suddenly quiet
Sweden's Midsummer festival takes place on the longest day of the year. The holiday celebrates the summer solstice (夏至). It holds enough tradition and fun to last the rest of the year.
Swedes like the world to be well-ordered, so Midsummer Eve is always on a Friday between 19 and 25 June. People often begin the day by picking flowers and making wreaths（花环）to place on the maypole（五月柱），which is a key part in the celebrations. People in colorful clothes dance around the maypole and sing songs.
Today, locals continue the tradition of weaving crowns（花冠） from green leaves and flowers.
Girls still pick seven different kinds of flowers to place under their pillows. According to local legend, if so, they will then dream of their future husbands.
In Sweden, every year many people enjoy themselves in fairy-tale scenes: peaceful lakes，amazing forests, and grassy paths. They walk through chest-high wild flowers and get close to nature. Finally they get a chance to slow down and enjoy Scandinavia’s short summer.

【题目】 Bertie was a very good boy,but he always forgot. No matter what he was asked to do, in the end his answer always was ’I forgot.’ If he was sent to the store to get something, he would return with nothing but his usual answer.
His parents decided that something must be done to make the little boy remember.
Christmas was near, and Bertie was busy making out a long list of things that he wanted Santa Claus to bring him.’Santa Claus may forget some of those things.’ said his mother.
He cannot,’replied Bertie,’because I will write all the things on this paper. Then Santa Claus can see it and put the things in my stocking(长袜).’
Christmas morning came, and Bertie was up early to see what was in his stocking. His mother kept away from him as far as she could, for she knew what Santa Claus had done.
Finally she heard him coming to her room. He held a list in his hand,which is much longer than the one he had made out. He put it in his mother’s hand, while tears of
disappointment fell from his eyes. It was a list of all the things that Bertie had forgotten to do over the last six months. At the end of all was written, in big letters, ’I FORGOT.’.
Bertie cried for an hour. Then they went to grandpa’s house. There for the first time he saw a Christmas tree. It was very strange to Bertie, but on the Christmas tree he found everything he had written on his list.
