John H.Johnson was born in a family in Arkansas City in 1918.His father died in an accident when John was six.He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high schools for the blacks.

Fortunately he has a strong-willed and caring mother.John remembers that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe.” She told him not to be dependent on others, including his mother.“You have to earn success”, said she, “all the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”

These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education.She also knew that believing and working hard don’t mean everything.So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son to Chicago.

Chicago in 1933 was not the Promised Land that black southerners were looking for.John’s mother could not find work.But here John could go to school, and learned the power of words―as an editor of a newspaper.His wish was to publish a magazine for the blacks.

While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try” She also let him sell her furniture to get the 500 dollars he needed to start the Negro magazine.

It’s natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful.He always keeps his mother’s words in mind.“Son, failure is not in your dictionary.” Now John H.Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America―worth 150 million dollars.

 

56.Why did John’s mother decide to move to Chicago? Because _____ .

A.life in Chicago would be better for the blacks than for the whites

B.John’s father died in his hometown when John was very young

C.there were no schools for the blacks in their hometown

D.John needed education and he could go to high school there

57.The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph means ________ .

A.if you try , you will surely succeed

B.a try is always followed by a failure

C.only by trying can you get out of failure

D.a failure is difficult to beat , even if you try

58.We can learn from this passage that John’s mother ________ .

A.didn’t depend on others or give up easily

B.thought success only lied in a strong faith

C.thought one could be whatever one wanted to be

D.believed one would succeed without working hard

59.What can be inferred from this passage?

A.If someone wants to be successful, he should always stand firm.

B.Chicago was not the Promised Land for the black southerners in 1933.

  There's an energy crisis in America, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels.Millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds.“I just can't get started.” People say.But it's not physical energy that most of us lack.Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet.But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history.I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.

  What you're seeking is not physical energy.It's emotional energy.Yet, sad to say life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply.We work too hard.We have family obligations(义务).We encounter(遭遇)emergencies and personal crises.No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue(疲劳), a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.

  And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives.Even as a child I observed people who were poor or disabled or ill, but who nevertheless faced life with optimism and vigor(活力).Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite

  an extremely weak body wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit.Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write.But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share.It was emotional energy that helped her succeed.Unlike physical energy, which is finite(有限的)and diminishes(减少)with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing.So how do you get it? You can't simply tell yourself to be positive.You must take action.Here are six practical strategies that work.

  1.Do something new.

  Very little that's new occurs in our lives.The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge:It's like a tire(轮胎)with a slow leak(漏).You don't notice it at first, but eventually you'll get a flat.It's up to you to plug the leak-even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life.That's where Maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago.Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline-a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives.Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes.She joined a gym in the next town.She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts.Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.Here's a challenge:If it's something you wouldn't ordinarily do, do it.Try a dish you've never eaten.Listen to music you'd ordinarily tune out.You'll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.

  2.Reclaim life's meaning.

  So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale(厌倦的).The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it.A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking.“I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something.” she says.“But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” Ivy's solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children.In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.

  3.Put yourself in the fun zone.

  Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived(缺乏的).High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation.A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients(客户).“I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,” she says.“It's a challenge-and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.” We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this:If you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly.

  4.Bid farewell(告别)to guilt and regret.

  Everyone's past is filled with regrets that still cause pain.But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward.While they can't merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened in the past, nothing can change that.Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.

  5.Make up your mind.

  Say you've been thinking about cutting your hair short.Will it look stylish-or too extreme? You endlessly think it over.Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain.Every time you can't decide, you burden yourself with alternatives.Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don't look back.

  6.Give to get.

  Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality:the more you give, the more you get back.This is the difference between emotional and physical energy with the latter.You have to get it to be able to give it.With the former, however, you get it by giving it.Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to know, and then listen to the reply.Be the one who hears.Most of us also need to smile more often.If you don't smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you're sucking energy out of your relationship.Finally, help another person-and make the help real, concrete.Give a massage to someone you love, or cook her dinner, then, expand the circle to work.Try asking yourself what you'd do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient.After all, if it's true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what's circulating around you is the good stuff?

  There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product, the other as a process.

  People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language-all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.

  By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.

  In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a will to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first.How we see our ability to grow? Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.

  The feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much then we stop growing.We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

(1)

In the author’s eyes, who views personal growth as a process would ________..

[  ]

A.

succeed in climbing up the social ladder

B.

grow up from his own achievements

C.

face difficulties and take up challenges

D.

aim high and reach his goal each time

(2)

For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ________.

[  ]

A.

being curious about more changes

B.

being quick in self-adaptation

C.

having an open mind to new experiences

D.

staying away from failures and challenges

(3)

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

[  ]

A.

It is not so easy to measure personal growth.

B.

On the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable.

C.

There are only two ways to see a person’s growth.

D.

If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow.

(4)

What is the best title for this passage?

[  ]

A.

Facing New Challenges

B.

Growth-Product or Process

C.

Two Ways of Growth

D.

Overcoming Internal Fears
