Believe it or not, the ability to choose is the power to change. If you can choose to live your life differently, will you be the same person?
Well, choosing to do the following few “simple” things will help to change your life.
Review your life. Take time to go through your life and ask yourself, “If I do the same thing I do every day, will there be a change? If I want to change, where will my first step be?”

Keep up with chances. Find out about the possibilities and ways that can make you move toward your goals, write them down and see which one suits you most.
Get down to business. Start working on your goals. People may bring you down; you may have difficulties; you will fail and want to give up. But the most important thing is never to give up.
If you try these “simple” things, you will find that success is something for everyone, and you will finally become what you want to be. Remember, success is more than what you hold in your hands; it is something from the heart.

It was a cold winter morning and I was waiting in line to see Jack Canfield, one of the authors of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.
During his presentation, Jack pulled out a one-hundred-dollar bill and asked “Who wants this?” Hands shot up in the audience and many people leaned forward to see who Jack would choose. But I ran up to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply act and create what we want!”
After the talk, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mails sharing my views and dream. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragements such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had the idea that I would get in touch with Jack again. I e-mailed him several times but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: what was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I need to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call Waiting for Jack.
It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. Then I wrote and rewrote. Even though I had great difficulty, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turned out a best-seller on Amazon!
We all have a “Jack”---whether it’s person, a place, a time or some certain thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?
1.From the first paragraph we can learn that the author________.
A. wanted Jack to autograph her book
B. wanted to be as successful as Jack
C. wanted to make friends with Jack
D. wanted to get help from Jack
2.It can be inferred form the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who________.
A. never replies e-mail
B. likes showing off his wealth
C. seldom takes risks
D. enjoys challenges in life
3.How did the author lose contact with Jack?
A. She and Jack had an argument.
B. She once had no time to contact Jack.
C. Jack was too proud to get along with.
D. She was too upset with her broken dream
4.What might be the theme of the book Waiting for Jack?

It was an extremely hot day. My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez’s farm and through some woods, because it would be the only way to cool ourselves down.
The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean (凶暴的) Hereford bull (公牛). Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in town, maybe even in the county and we believed in him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about what he said. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull. Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the farm, and Mr. Blickez agreed.
On our way across the farm, we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole. The sun shone brightly across the cool waters. We couldn’t wait to get there. Suddenly, Walt shouted loudly. Elsie had run to him and was licking (舔) his back. I immediately hid under the fence. However, when I looked up, I saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull at all. She was just a friendly young cow, and she was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.
When we discovered the truth, we were so happy. We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in. The water was just as wonderful as we had dreamed. After that day, we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. .

B. They didn’t know how to get to the stream.
C. Their mother didn’t want them to swim.
D. They had to face a very mean bull.
3.When Elsie saw the author’s brother, she _______.
A. tried to attack him B. showed her friendliness
C. immediately ran away D. tried to drive him away
4.What’s the passage mainly about?
