Are you satisfied with your life? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not usually better than you? What do you do wrong? Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.
1）
Different people may interpret “success” in different ways: some of them measure it in money, other ones — in positive changes to people around them and the world. And do not worry about what other people think, and come after what makes you happy.
2）Do not believe anything without questioning it.
They are critical thinkers, and they understand that we are all ruled by our prejudices; so, they will always question new information.
3）Do not worry about all unpredictable things that may happen to you.
If you want to be successful, stop thinking about everything that MAY happen to you. Be ready to change your deeds and decisions when things suddenly don't go according to your plan.
4）Do not care about what other people think of you.
Your attempts to become “good” for everyone will turn into nothing but new worries, stresses, and problems. Successful people do not concentrate on quantity of people to please, but worry about their quality and focus on developing friendships with people they really care about.
Success is good, but you should understand that life will get depressing without friendship and love.
A. Try to feel comfortable with the reality and accept the fact your future can't be predicted.
B. Do not let others decide what “success” is for you.
C. As far as we all know, it's impossible to please all the people who surround us.
D. Do not wait for the “right time” to do anything.
E. Successful people never ignore or avoid problems, no matter how big and awful they seem.
F. Successful people do not just accept any new information to be true.
G. If you want to be successful, do not let others force their interpretation of success on you.

Valentine's Day, a day traditionally reserved for expressing romantic love, is observed practically all around the world. However, not many people are familiar with Sweetest Day. Actually it is a holiday, especially designed to express love and care for those who were routinely neglected（忽视）by society.
Sweetest Day was the idea of Herbert Birch Kingston, who worked for a company in Cleveland, Ohio. He felt that there were plenty of children, especially orphans and poor kids, who didn't necessarily get the attention they deserved. Thus in 1922, he launched the first Sweetest Day to give out boxes of candy to mainly poor children.
Since the day picked was the third Saturday in October, this became the traditional time to celebrate Sweetest Day. The tradition was so enjoyed that people often looked beyond kindness to treating their own friends or family to treats on Sweetest Day.
In the US, Sweetest Day is celebrated primarily in the Northeastern region of the US, still on the third Saturday of October. Yet news of the tradition, which began nearly 100 years ago, has spread to other parts of the country, especially as people who lived in those areas moved elsewhere. People may distribute candy or small gifts to those in patient homes, hospitals, foster homes, or mental institutions, and they may also treat friends and family to little gifts from the heart.
In keeping with the original tradition, celebrating Sweetest Day should really be most focused on people who ordinarily don't have the good fortune of attention from friends or family, either due to difficult family circumstances or to poverty. This can be a great tradition to start if your community doesn't routinely celebrate the day, and there are many candy manufacturers that are willing to help donate or reduce costs on gifts intended for people in unfortunate circumstances.
（1）The original purpose of Sweetest Day is to ________.
A.provide an occasion to know orphans
B.make those poor children happy
C.make your friends and family happy
D.distribute candy to those lovely children
（2）What do people barely do on Sweetest Day?
A.Buy flowers for your sweetheart.
B.Visit patients who have to be in hospital.
C.Give friends gifts to make them happy.
D.Care for children who lost their parents.
（3）We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.it is vital to contact the candy manufacturers
B.it is necessary to call on friends or families
C.it is important to help those in need
D.it is common to serve your community

—________. You know, practice makes perfect.

Last week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that have never seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived the experience!
I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space age parks in the world. This science and technology-based theme park in France uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up-to-date information together with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors. Learning centers throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world and much more.
I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park's entrance, but tickets are also available online. Futuroscope is not only for indiviudals, but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning for class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission rate. For anyone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels, most of which provide a shuttle service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot—be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!

A.A theme park for children in America.
