Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead,realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind.Success is a choice but not a chance.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊).Your level of selfesteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,and thus over your life.People with low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power,or responsibility for their lives.They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause,we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe.Thoughts and beliefs cause everything.Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time.One generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success depends upon our level of confidence.We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
If you associate with positivethinking people,you are definitely going to achieve success.On the contrary,the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding,planting,and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory,born from setbacks.
In short,in all areas of your life,whether they be financial,physical,emotional,or spiritual,you are responsible.Once you recognize this,accept it,and firmly believe it,you are on the road to success.
1.Losers would think that________.
A.success is the result of hard work
B.working hard will lead to success
C.they fail only because of bad luck
D.they don’t make efforts to succeed
2.It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that________.
A.whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
B.developing confidence is the key to future success
C.thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D.setting our expectations is essential before taking action
3.The last paragraph serves as________.
A.the proof of the author’s point
B.the conclusion of the argument
C.an introduction to another topic
D.a comparison between two views
4.Which is the best title of the text?
A.Success is a choice B.The secrets of success
C.Develop our confidence D.How to achieve success

Researchers from the University of Newcastle are leading a worldfirst study which builds on earlier unpublished research that children are most likely to be guided by their father’s eating and exercise habits.
The new study “Healthy Dads,Healthy Kids”,led by Associate Professor Philip Morgan from the University’s Faculty of Education and Arts,is designed to help fathers promote and demonstrate to their children positive behaviours related to physical activity and healthy eating.
“The earlier findings showed that children are more likely to follow the example set by their father than their mother when it comes to eating and exercise,” said Morgan.
Morgan saw striking results in a previous trial involving 165 overweight children.He found children who lost the most weight had fathers who were engaged in the new eating and exercise plan.
“We might think mothers are the main influence on children’s diet and health,but the reality may be different,” said Morgan.“The roles of fathers are changing.More families have two parents working and more fathers are involved with food preparation and food shopping than in the past.”
“Fathers influence the food and physical activity habits in the home through their behaviours attitudes and approach to food and eating,and act as a role model to their children,” said Morgan.
Researchers are inviting fathers who would like to reduce their weight to join the “Healthy Dads,Healthy Kids” program.Participation involves attending eight sessions (讲习班) at the University of Newcastle over six months where the men will receive information,have weightrelated measurements recorded and complete questionnaires.
Cooking healthy food with the kids and creating a backyard fitness circuit (循环训练场) are among the assignments (课外作业) for fathers taking part in the study.
5.What do we learn about the “Healthy Dads,Healthy Kids” program?
A.It aims to build close family relationships
B.It involves fathers who want to lose weight.
C.It will last more than eight months.
D.It offers free online courses for parents.
6.Morgan finds a link between children’s weight loss and________.
A.their parents’s efforts B.regular sports training
C.balanced diets D.their father’s influence
7.According to the earlier research,children seem to________.
A.copy their father’s diets and exercise habits
B.develop healthy eating habits by themselves
C.grow taller if their parents often do exercise
D.help their parents to form exercise habits
8.Which of the following facts caused the change of fathers’roles?
A.That kids have more time to spend with family
B.That more kids need their father’s help in learning
C.That there are more working mothers than before
D.That fathers become much busier than before
答案:Ⅰ.单项填空
1.A make a bad impression on sb.给某人留下不好的印象。
2.B mind注意,留心;watch注视;notice注意到。
3.C 表示前后意义的递进关系时用besides。
4.A It’s time后跟从句,从句的谓语一般用过去时,表示虚拟语气。
5.C 本题考查mean后面接不定式和动名词的用法。mean to do意欲,打算;mean doing意味着。
6.D “成为一名律师”,可以用become a lawyer或turn lawyer.
7.A 句意为:汤姆,规矩点。你是不是忘了校规?behave人的行为、举止和表现,本为不及物动词,但用做此意时可与反身代词连用。conduct与behave在作“行为、举止”讲时同义,但conduct不能强调自我控制、约束。B、C两项明显不合题意。
8.A 本题考查短语用法。句意为:我原以为我不能通过这次驾驶考试,但是最后我毕竟还是通过了。after all毕竟;first of all首先;in all总计,总的说来;above all首先,最为重要的是。
9.D 根据I didn’t mean to be rude(我不是有意无礼的)可知,在此应用forgive表示请“原谅”。
10.A course在句中作“课程”讲;take a course on how to make Sichuan dishes参加川菜烹饪课程。
11.D which可用做关系代词,指代整个主句内容,引导非限制性定语从句。句意为:我反复劝他不要喝太多,但这一切无济于事。
12.B 句意为:他在抄写文章时“遗漏(leave out)”了一些重要词汇,使得我们无法看懂。
13.C 句意为:这么美丽的乡村风景我没照相,真遗憾!我把相机落在宾馆里了。leave发生在didn’t take之前,所以用过去完成时,表示“过去的过去”。
14.A 我在那儿学习期间,新图书馆还在建。while是从属连词,引导时间状语从句,意思是“在……期间”。
15.C 因为太多,公共汽车公司派出了“加车(extra buses)”。
