13．Animal moms are great moms．You might be surprised at some of these moms．
Octopuses（章鱼）
The mother octopus lays about 50，000 eggs．For about 300 days，she stays with the eggs，cleans them and protects them．She does not leave to feed．However，this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched（孵化）．
C rocodiles
A crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies．She starts by building a nest（巢），which she guards for over two months！When the eggs are ready to hatch，the young crocodiles call out to their mother，who digs them out and helps them hatch．She then carries them in her mouth down to the water，where she will guard them for several more weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their own．
Bats
Bats become moms by hanging head up in a cave，giving birth．Catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below，she puts it in a pouch（育儿袋）．Bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days．As the little bats get bigger and heavier，moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them．It continues for about three weeks，until the babies are grownup and able to fly on their own．
Koalas（考拉）
The animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy（怀孕期） of only 35 days．The hairless baby climbs into its mother's pouch and lives there for another five months．When the little koala is between five and eight months old，it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety．Once it is too big to return to the pouch，it will climb onto its mother's back and ride there until it is about 12 months old．

12．Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck．I'm not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don't come into play because they do．Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that's just the reality of how life is．
However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical．And，in addition to that，_in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours studying and practising．To become great at certain things，it'll require even more time，time that most people won't put in．
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love．If you don't enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it．
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost．It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway．
Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it，you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time．If you're not willing to put in the time and work，don't expect to receive any rewards．Consistent，hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want，but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into．

A．work makes one feel pain            B．it takes a lot of time to succeed

A．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent．
B．Successful people like to show their great skills．
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life．
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success．

11．If you think golf balls don't strike the same place twice，you'd be wrong．A Tiger Woods fan has proved it（61）ina rather painful way recently．
The German tourist（62）was enjoying（enjoy） the final round of the World Golf Championships in Doral，Florida，when the golfing legend's opening ball landed（63）exactly（exact） on his head，leaving his white polo shirt（64）marked（mark） with blood．
An apologetic （愧疚的） Woods came over to the man，（65）whohad travelled thousands of miles（66）to see（see） his hero play，and autographed a glove hoping（67）itwould stop his bad luck．
"And I get this souvenir，"he said，almost smiling as he held up the ball．
"Sorry about that，"Woods replied before（68）handing（hand） him the signed glove．
But minutes later the same thing happened again，forcing Woods to hand over（69）asecond signed glove with an accompanying apology．
The next question，then，wasn't could he catch his competitor Patrick Reed，（70）butdid he have e nough golf gloves in his bag．
Finally，he ended the day，beating only two of the field's 68 players．

10．We all know that we have to eat to live，so it is important for us to develop healthy eating habits．The following tips may help you．（36）C Take a hard look at your eating habits．Do you eat more when you feel stressed？Do you withhold food from yourself in order to feel like you're in control？Carefully think about whether you have an unhealthy emotional attachment to food．

（38）AIdeally，you should eat three meals per day，with two snacks in-between．Doing this allows you to eat slightly less at your meals，giving your body a more manageable amount of food to digest．
Don't skip （跳过） breakfast．（39）G Research shows that people who skip breakfast are usually fatter than those who eat a well-balanced breakfast．
Eat slowly．Have you ever gorged （狼吞虎咽） on a huge meal and felt fine immediately after，but suddenly felt like exploding 15 minutes later？This happens because it takes some time for your stomach to tell your brain that it's full．（40）DThat way，by the time you get the message and start feeling satisfied，you haven't eaten too much extra food．

8．In 1943，when George Patton took over the duties of commander，he soon discovered that the discipline of the 2nd army was really poor．Then he gave the orders：all the officers and soldiers should be through with breakfast before 7：30； no one should be late for work in the morning； soldiers with moust ache should shave daily．He required that every soldier should wear the helmet and necktie．Patton also set up a punishment system．Officers would be fined 50 dollars and soldiers 25 dollars if they broke the rules．
Patton's rigorous measures brought great shock to the whole army at once．Three days later，the 2nd army staff brought open their dislike of Patton and soldiers complained strongly because the arrival of Patton put an end to their comfortable life．But Patton ignored this．
Further，he gave the order that"The military rank （军衔） should be shown on the helmet"．A senior colonel （上校） believed that this rule meant to provide a firing target for the enemy．He argued with Patton，"I often go to the battleground．If I were dead，I could no longer serve you and my soldiers．"
Patton smiled after hearing that and said，"Colonel，get on my car and we'd have a tour on the front line．"When they reached there，the colonel found Patton's helmet，shoulders，collars and even the jeep all had three stars．As a result，the soldiers recognized the general in the jeep was Patton，so they laid down what was in the hand and stood at attention and showed respect to him，cheering．At this moment，Patton said to the colonel，"The soldiers depend on you leading them．They have to realize who their commander is．Commander ought to lead in front of the soldiers，even if it means to die．Then wear your military rank mark．"This colonel was completely convinced："You are correct，General．"
