You've probably heard the expression, "What you see is what you get." My grandfather used to say. "If you 1 a tree long enough, it will move." We see 2 we want to see. Psychologists tells us that 3 controls our life more than our self -image. We live like the person we see in the 4 . We are what we think we are. If you don't think you'll be successful, you 5 . You can't be it if you can't see it. Your life is 6 to your vision. If you want to change your 7 , you must change your vision of life.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous when he 8 a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger:“ 9 you've retired from body building, what do you plan to do next?” Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and 10 : "I’m going to become the No. 1 movie star in Hollywood. ”The reporter was 11 and amused at Schwarzenegger's plan. At that time, it was very hard to 12 how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a 13 actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Australian accent, could ever 14 to be Hollywood's No. 1 movie star !
So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger 15 he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said: “I'll do it the same 16 I became the No. 1 bodybuilder in the world. What I do is create a vision of who I want to be, then I start living like that person in my 17 as if it were already true.” Sounds almost childishly 18 , doesn't it? But it 19 ! Schwarzenegger did become the No. 1 highest paid movie star in Hollywood! Remember: “If you can see it, you can 20 it.”

NEW YORK—Microsoft on Monday made another effort to challenge Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android in the exploding smartphone market—launching a wireless operating system,Windows Phone 7.
Consumers will consider it“always delightful and thoroughly mine,”Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at a launch event. Ballmer said last year that Microsoft had“screwed up”with its Windows Mobile operating system.For example,it failed to keep up with touch-screen innovations that make iPhones and Android phones easy to use.
Microsoft fell from third to fourth place in market share this year,behind BlackBerry,iPhone and Android. Only 10.8% of smartphone owners used Microsoft’s system in August,down from 18% last December.
But Windows Phone 7 is“a total departure from anything they’ve done”.Microsoft says it sought to simplify common activities. For example,you can instantly take a picture with a phone’s camera by pushing a button on the device. You don’t have to first awaken it from its sleep mode and launch the camera application. You also can program the phones to automatically upload photos to Facebook or other social network sites in a couple of seconds. Users can easily work with Microsoft Office contact and calendar information as well as documents created in Microsoft’s Word,Excel and PowerPoint.
The phones will not show videos built on Adobe’s Flash platform,widely used by services including YouTube and Hulu.
AT&T will offer the first Windows Phone 7 smartphone,the Samsung Focus,on Nov.8.Soon after,it will have the LG Quantum and HTC Surround. Each will cost S| 199.99 with a two-year service contract. T-Mobile will have two Windows Phone 7 models out for the holiday shopping season:the HTC HD7 and Dell Venue Pro. It did not say how much they’ll cost.
What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. Why Microsoft fell behind others.
B. How to use Windows Phone7.
C. Advantages of Windows phone7.
D. Speed of Windows phone7.
What does the underlined phrase“screwed up”in the 2nd paragraph probably mean?
A. To make a bad mistake. B. To make big progress.
C. To achieve main goals. D. To keep up with others.
Which of the following phones will NOT use Windows Phone 7 operating system?
A. Quantum. B. Surround. C. Android. D. Focus.
Why did Microsoft see a drop in market share last year?
A. Because its operating system didn’t catch up with changes.
B. Because its phones can’t show videos from YouTube.
C. Because it was inconvenient to take photos using its phones.
D. Because its system was based only on Microsoft soft wares.
Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Smartphone Market Welcomes New Giant
B. Microsoft to Fight Back on Smartphone
C. Mobile Phones Getting Smarter and Easier
D. Microsoft Proved a Failure in Smartphone
