I'm 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you．Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years．
1 Take care of your body
Life is “unfairly” biased (偏向的) towardspeople who “look good,” like it or not. So it’s important that you do all that is in your power to look your best．You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.
2
No one taught me to save when I was growing up; no one told me the importance of saving. Fortunately I was able to learn the value of savingthrough reading great books like “The Millionaire Next Door”. What I want toteach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income. If you are tobe wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot．
3 Think in the long term
In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college. I'm designing my life and I’m making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I’m in my40’s, 50’s and 60’s. You have to think in the long term; you have to see the“big picture”.
4 Realize the power of focus
Focus, focus, focus…If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus.If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, you will achievethem. The problem is that there are so many distractions.Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they just focus on achieving whatis critical to their goals.

【题目】阅读理解
When I was only 3 years old, my mother taught me to memorize and recite poems. She was my first teacher of the arts, and my father was the first to appreciate my performance. Even at that young age, I had a simple understanding of how art and culture affect us as human beings and how we can connect to each other through the arts, which shapes my life to this day.
When I was growing up, my parents supported my interest in taking acting classes and doing community theater. Their faith in me and the professional（专业的）training I was getting from my theater teachers gave me a sense of purpose and a sense of self-confidence. I learned what artistic achievement actually was and what hard work the business was. While many people see the rosy picture to our business, I was really learning what it would require for me to become a professional.
I became an actress, but arts education isn't just about preparing our young people for a job in the arts. I recently talked to some of the kids attending theater education. Some of them want to work in theater, and some don't. They are learning not only theater skills, but also about the world around them. They learn about discipline（纪律）and hard work and what's required and what they have to do to bring themselves to the work. They learn how they can be of service in the world through the arts. They learn how to work with a team. By studying the arts, these students are open to worlds and lives that they might not have any other way of knowing about or any other way to connect with in their lives the way they are right now.
These young people are our future. We are passing the torch to them. And I think that's one of the most important reasons why we need to foster（培养）the arts.
（1）When the writer was 3 years old, she ________.
A.learned many kinds of arts
B.did well in communication
C.recited poems to her father
D.had a deep understanding of arts
（2）What does the underlined word “rosy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Bright.
B.Funny.
C.Terrible.
D.Hopeless.
（3）What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A.It was hard for the writer to start business.
B.It is not easy for one to succeed in arts field.
C.Parents' faith is a must for one to be professional.
D.The writer's self-confidence led to her artistic achievement.
（4）According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statement is TRUE?
A.Attending theatre education does the kids much good.
B.Students studying the arts should travel around the world
C.Discipline and hard work are not included in arts education.
D.Arts education can only prepare the youth for jobs in the arts.
（5）What is the text mainly about?
A.Where to get arts education.
B.When kids should learn arts.
C.How to improve arts education.
D.Why arts education counts.

If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them. Here are some tips that can help you become a good player.

Set ambitious but realistic goals. If you want to be great at sports, you need to set your aims high. 【1】 Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal.

Be patient. 【2】 Impatient athletes tend to make poor ones. If you're not patient, you'll try to jump into advanced techniques long before you're ready. You'll feel discouraged when you don't see immediate improvement.

Join a sports team. Most of the sports teams are free to join. If you go to school, you should go for team tryouts when they're happening. 【3】

Accept criticism. When you play sports, you will unavoidably receive criticism, whether from a coach or other players. 【4】 Are they angry because you missed a pass, or do they sincerely want to help you improve? In a lot of cases, you can use criticism as motivation to get better.

【5】 A skill become mastered when you’re able to do it without thinking. Given enough time and practice, a skill will eventually fall under this category. When in a game, you won't have time to think everything through, so practice until it's all automatic.

A. Skills are often slow to build.

B. This does not mean being unrealistic.

C. You need to take most of it with a grain of salt.

D. Practice until your skills become second nature.

E. You also need to be clear about what you are good at.

F. If you're not in school, you can find a sports club online.

G. An important reason people join sports teams is to make friends.

Some years ago ,I was at a subway station in Los Angeles waiting in line to buy a ticket. As Istood there I saw a young man asking people for money so that he could buy hisbreakfast. Most of the travelers simply (ignore) the young man or gave (he) a dirty look, yet a well-dressedmiddle-aged man reacted differently. When (approach) by the young man, the gentlemanlooked at him and quietlyasked, “How much will you need?” I couldn’t hear the young man said but watched as thegentleman pulled several (note)from his wallet and (calm) placed them in the young man’s hands.
I don’t know whether the young man actually used the money forhis breakfast or for purposes.What I do know is that I witnessed two different reactions to the samesituation. I saw people who (be) either afraid or annoyed. Andthen I saw the gentleman who was not afraid and treated the homeless young manas though he were a brother. I decided then and there that, even though we haveto be(care) in this world, Iwould rather be like the gentleman.
