27、The Winner ' Guide to Success

How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 【1】

Be responsible for yourself

Sometimes you may want to blame （责备） others for your failure to get ahead. 【2】 You're saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”

Live life “on purpose”

Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”—they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you'll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.

Write a plan

It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. 【3】 A good plan is like a map to you. Without this “map” you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “ map” you'll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.

Be willing to pay the price

Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard—even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won't get anything valuable.

Never give up

【4】 When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.

【5】

Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I've be got a perfect idea,” he said,” I'll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. So remember, do what you can right away. Never delay at all.

A．It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.

B．It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.

C．Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work.

D．In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself stopping you from making success, you are giving away your own power.

E．Sometimes delay

F．Don't delay （拖延）

G．Here are some keys to success that they give.

28、   As we all know, it isn’t healthy to stay up late and poor sleep quality can leave us feeling low. However, many people still cannot get enough sleep, especially the young.

Over 60% Chinese youths aged 6 to 17 sleep less than eight hours a day, according to a report released by the Chinese Sleep Research Society (CSRS). Among 13-to 17-year-olds, the figure is more than 81%.

According to the study, too much school homework is a major cause for sleep loss among young people. For example, from Monday to Thursday, 8.4% of them would still be busy with their homework after 11 pm. Another major cause of young people’s inadequate sleep is the frequent use of electronic devices (电子设备). More than 41% children and teenagers who sleep too little use electronic devices such as computer tablets and mobile phones, the survey found.

Lack of sleep among children and teenagers has raised concern. “Sleep loss can lead to weakened immunity (免疫力) and memory, and can also prevent physical growth,” Wang Zan, a member of the CSRS, told People’s Daily.

To reduce students’ academic burden, the Ministry of Education and eight other departments released a guideline (指南) on Dec 28. For example, it says that junior high students should spend no more than 90 minutes on homework and senior high students must do their homework in a proper time limit. Local education authorities across China should also take more steps to help students get more sleep, including delaying the start of morning classes by half an hour.

【1】What does the CSRS report find?

A.About 81% children sleep less than eight hours.

B.About 41% youths have serious sleep problems.

C.More than 60% young people suffer lack of sleep.

D.Only 8.4% students finish homework before 10:30 pm.

【2】Why can’t young people get enough sleep?

A.They start to do their homework very late. B.They often watch TV for hours after work.

C.They take too many after-school courses. D.They have too much homework to finish.

【3】What problem might lack of sleep lead to?

A.Weight gain. B.Poor memory. C.Mental problems. D.Bad mood.

【4】How can the government help students get more sleep?

A.By limiting the amount of homework. B.By getting homework done at school.

C.By shortening the time a certain class. D.By allowing a half-an-hour early leave.

29、   Is there any evidence that the standard of English as a foreign language has improved in the years since the Second World War? Naturally, as it is the world language, more and mere people are taught it and use it. But do they speak it or write it or understand it better than their patents’ or grandparents’ generations?

Have standards declined? There is no objective way of answering this question. Tests of the traditional sort — compositions, precis writing, and so on — have always been subjective, so they cannot be used to judge whether people have got better or not over the years. But so-called objective tests are useless as a measure of progress too. They have not been used consistently (一贯的) in the same “concentration” over the period they have been in use, so there is no way of comparing exams “now” and “then”. Moreover, usually in the form of multiple choice questions, they do not, by and large, test the things that really count in mastering a language.  Even comprehension is a partly “creative” activity in real life, as we have to think of possible meanings for ourselves rather than have them suggested for us from outside. And people can be trained in the techniques of multiple choice, while others fail the tests because they have been led astray (离开正道) precisely by their “suggestive” nature, so they are not really objective at all. We are left with only personal impression to go on.

My own is that, if anything, standards have declined somewhat in the last thirty or forty years, despite all the new theories, tools and techniques that have been developed. I am not alone in this judgment. In Sweden, for instance, Professors Johannes Hedberg and Gustav Korlen, two of the most experienced workers in the field; have on several occasions drawn attention to the lack of progress in the teaching of foreign languages since the late fifties. Yet Sweden is a sophisticated (先进的) society with extremely high educational and academic standards, and very concerned not to be cut off from the rest of the world. If such a country cannot achieve advances in the study of foreign languages, it is unlikely that many, if any, others have done so.

Japan is another community where remarkably little progress has been made in the learning of English. It is probably as important for Japan as for Sweden to master that language, and there is much academic effort put into linguistic (语言学的) research of various kinds. Yet the average standard of language learning is abysmally low, particularly for such a highly literate and educated society. This is no doubt in part the result of a vicious circle (恶性循环): many of the professors of English at Japanese universities are themselves incapable of speaking or writing or even understanding the language well.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?

A.Multiple choice questions are objective because people cannot be trained any techniques.

B.Sweden emphasizes the teaching of English without paying attention to other countries.

C.We have to depend on our own impression to judge the English standards.

D.Compositions are useful to test people’s English ability because people have to write out their viewpoints.

【2】The so-called objective tests cannot be used as a measure of progress because _______.

A.the people who design the tests are changing constantly

B.the tests do not always focus on the same thing

C.the way of scoring is not scientific

D.they contain too many reading comprehension questions

【3】The author’s attitude towards present English standards is _______.

A.negative B.indifferent (漠不关心的)

C.sympathetic D.positive

30、An internet troll is someone who posts insulting comments in an online chat room, social-networking site or blog. Their aim is not to contribute to the discussion, but to ______ people or     make them angry.

Sometimes the comments are fairly ______. For example, a troll might visit a website that is     dedicated to fighting global warming and post a comment like ‘Global warming is a myth made up by second-rate scientists who just want to further their own careers.’ Some visitors to the website might think that the opinion is genuine and start ______. This is exactly what the troll wants: to start a fight.

However, many trolls are far more dangerous and post comments that are deeply hurtful. In 2011, 45-year-old Nicola Brookes left a message of support for a reality TV contestant on Facebook. The contestant had received hate mail on Facebook and, feeling ______ for the young man, Ms Brookes left a message on his Facebook page, saying simply: ‘Keep your chin up, Frankie, they’ll move on to someone else soon.’ They did move on to someone else—Ms Brookes—within minutes. More than 100 cruel messages were left in just 24 hours, and a(n) ______ Facebook page was set up in her name.

Racist trolling probably has the highest profile cases. When Premier League footballer Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the field during a match in 2012, racist messages appeared on Twitter taking pleasure in his ______ and laughing at him. ______, Muamba made a complete recovery. The effects of such attacks can be terrible, especially for people who are being targeted precisely because they admitted to a vulnerability (易受伤) in the first place.

So ______ do trolls post messages that cause such distress? Some of them are sad, lonely people with their own problems who ______ the attention their posts attract. They behave badly online because they feel ______ normal standards of polite and considerate behaviour. They are in a virtual world and     do not have to face their victims. They say things that they would never dare to say ______. Finally, trolls believe that they can remain unknown and that no one will ever ______ who they are.

That is about to ______. however. When Nicola Brookes first approached the police and made a complaint, they told her there was nothing they could do. So she contacted lawyers and began legal action to force Facebook to disclose the identities of the trolls who had been tormenting (折磨) her. She ______ the case and is free to pursue private prosecutions ( 起 诉 ) against those responsible for tormenting her. With trolls facing ______ and possible prosecution in future, hopefully they will think twice before posting insulting messages.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Two months ago, Ryder Killam, a 15-year-old French boy was registered in a new school in Hawaii. He just moved there with his parents. Although he missed his old friends very much, he managed to adapt to his new school life and soon made a lot of friends.

However, waiting for the school bus every morning often meant a real suffering because Ryder was born with spina bifida （脊柱裂）and he has to live in a wheelchair. Hawaii is one of the rainiest places in the world. This is not an issue for other students, but for him this was a different story. He often got wet all over before the school bus arrived during the rainy days. In that case, he could only have classes with wet clothes on or called his parents to send dry clothes to school and finding a place to get changed was also a big challenge for this disabled boy.

To keep Ryder protected from the bad weather while waiting for the bus every morning, the students in Ryder's school decided to take action. They first uploaded a post on Facebook asking for an unused bus shelter but got no reply.

Not being able to find one, the students from the construction class decided to take on the challenge of building a customized bus shelter for him and quickly put their hands to work.

As part of the high school's Career and Technical Education program, the construction class teaches its students basic building skills. Its main goal is to provide students with tools and skills that will have real applications in future jobs and a meaningful impact on their community. They had already performed several building projects for the community. Two years ago, they managed to build dozens of shelters for stray cats in the local park. Soon enough, they came up with an idea of building a two-window shelter for Ryder.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

However, these teenagers found building this bus shelter was no easy job.
