Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any "secrets" to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama's "back to school" speech. Here is a small part of his speech.

I know that sometimes, after watching TV, you may feel that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star. But when chances come, you may not succeed.

The truth is, being successful is hard. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try. That's OK. Some of the most successful people in the world have had the most failures. JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was rejected(退稿)12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career (职业生涯). But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures beat you--you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.

No one's born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

And even when you're struggling(挣扎), even when you're discouraged(泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you--don't ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

1.Why does Barack Obama talk about JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the second paragraph?

A. To show that these two famous persons are different.

B. To show that writing and sports are difficult skills.

C. To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.

D. To show that being successful is hard.

2. Barack Obama believes ____________ in his speech.

A. you can be rich and successful without any hard work

B. you may succeed at everything the first time you try

C. you can't let your failures beat you

D. you shouldn't ask other people for help

3. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. If you're discouraged, you should give up on yourself.

B. You should believe in yourself no matter how difficult it is.

C. When you're struggling, you'll feel like other people have given up on you.

D. If you are not struggling or discouraged, you can give up on yourself.

4.What's the best title of this small part of Mr. Obama's speech?

A. The way to succeed               B. Failures can help you

C. Don't give up on yourself            D. Barack Obama's success
