What’s the secret of success? Is it having loads of money? Good luck? Great
teeth?
Sure, cash, luck, and a nice 36 can’t hurt. But many social scientists agree that what successful people have in common is this: They were 37.
There’s George Washington, the top general of America’s troops in the Revolutionary War, who lost two huge 38 and was nearly fired. 39 Steve Jobs, who developed a lot of failed products---and even got fired from Apple---before 40 to change the world with the iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
The 41 goes on: From Katy and Hall of Fame (名人堂)basketball legend Michael Jordan to Glee(欢乐合唱团 ) star Chris Colfer, the majority of today’s most successful people were 42 losers. They were dropped from record labels, 43_from basketball teams, or bullied in school. They felt humiliated, lost and 44.
But they eventually figured out how to move forward. And that is the key skill: the 45 to dust yourself off and try again. And again. Experts call this resilience(复原力  )---being able to 46 from setbacks. This is what turns losers into winners. Experts say that in terms of future success, resilience is more important than brains or talent. So 47 you fail a test or strike out at bat or sing off-key, don’t give up.

When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book. I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number. When I couldn't find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I'd ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.
A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot. We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups, we could practice dribbling (运球) and shooting more. It's just us, the ball, the court and the net. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I'm just one kid playing the game.
【小题1】From Paragraph 1 we know that ____.

A.the author's mother gave him some wrong phone numbers
B.the phone book contained everyone's phone number except Michael Jordan's
C.the author wanted to contact Michael Jordan very much

A.The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center.
B.The author's excitement of making shots when playing basketball.
C.The days before the author went to senior high school.
D.The author's happy childhood with his teammates.
【小题3】What surprised the author most at the recreation center?
A.That it was very near to his home.
B.That there was a basketball court inside the building.
C.That there was a special smell in it.
D.That there was a fast food restaurant in it.
【小题4】The author's coach encouraged them to do sit-ups because ____.
A.it is the basic preparation to play basketball
B.it is more useful than dribbling and shooting
C.it is the only way to make people stronger
D.it helps keep stomach power
【小题5】What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?

Would the voice of Amanda Holden saying “your city had talent” encourage you to use a litter bin? Or maybe former Monty Python star Michael Palin telling you no one had expected “the Spanish bin-quisition”?
Organizers of a plan persuading celebrities(名人)to lend their voices to “talking bins”believe it can make a real difference to keeping Britain tidy. They hope that by using humor, they will succeed where fines and warnings have failed in keeping streets and parks clean.
A similar experiment in Sweden found a talking bin received nearly three times as much rubbish as an ordinary one because people were attracted by its quality of being new and unusual value.
Twenty-five specially adapted bins to be installed(安装)in the streets of London and Liverpool next  month will use a sound card to play a themed message when litter is placed inside. For example,one near the Royal Opera House will play a “thank-you” message sung by Janis Kelly to the tune of Nessun Dorina. Bins installed in Liverpool will play Beatles-themed messages. For others,Britain’s Got Talent  judge Holden is expected to record the message:“This is Amanda, and this city’s got talent.”
The campaign,entitled Bin Thinking, is being organized by art group Sing London. If successful,talking bins could become a familiar feature on Britain’s streets.
Colette Hiller, director of Sing London, said, “ The idea is to reward people in a small way for changing their behavior and raise awareness through a sense of fun.”
【小题1】What is the plan persuading celebrities to lend their voices to “talking bins” aimed at?

A.Attracting passers’-by attention on celebrities.
B.Encouraging people to use the litter bins to keep Britain tidy.
C.Making fun of those who won’t keep the streets and parks clean.
D.Thanking people for cleaning the litter bins through a sense of fun.
【小题2】The following stars’ voices are to be lent to “talking bins” except_________________.
A.Amanda Holder’ sB.Michael Palin’s
C.Janis Kelly’sD.Nessun Dorma' s
【小题3】We can infer from the text that_________________.
A.children are most attracted by “talking bins”
B.different messages will be played due to different streets
C.Britain is the first city where the experiment on “talking bins” was made
D.“talking bins” might take the place of ordinary litter bins in Britain
