Why are some people more successful than others? Why do some people make more money, live happier lives and achieve much more in the same number of years than most people?
Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement. It seems that the reasons for those achievements have been discussed for more than two thousand years, in every way. But one thing that most experts agree on is self-discipline (自律).
Some years ago, I attended a meeting in New York. I happened to meet a gentleman. His name was Kopmeyer. He was famous in the field of success and achievement. He had written four books, and each of them had 250 success principles (原则）.He had developed these during more than 50 years of research and study. I had read all of his books more than once.
Luckily, I had a chance to talk with him. I asked him a question that many people would ask, "Of all the one thousand success principles you have discovered, which is the most important?”
He smiled at me as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied without thinking twice, "There are 999 different success principles, but without self-discipline, none of them work." He went on, saying, "Many years ago, Thomas Huxley said the most important success principle is, ' Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.' ”
Self-discipline is magic because it opens all doors for you, and makes everything else possible.
56. How did the writer learn about the key to success?
A. By reading a lot of books. B. By attending some meetings.
C. By asking some questions. D. By doing some research.
57. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The subject of success was new to many people.
B. Kopmeyer developed one thousand success principles.
C. The writer asked Kopmeyer a special question.
D. Kopmeyer wasn’t interested in the writer’s question.
58. What can open all doors in your life?
A. Having more chances. B. Working hard.
C. Self-discipline.    D. Working in a team. 
59. What does the underlined sentence mean? 
A. Push yourself to do things even if you don’t want to. 
B. Plan everything carefully and don’ t make any mistakes. 
C. Set a smile and you will find that nothing is impossible. 
D. Choose what you like and give up what you don’t like. 
60. The best title for this passage would be “ ”.
A. When You Can Succeed  B. A Special Question
C. The Key to Success    D. Everything Is Possible
(B)
Fresh green grass． Hundreds of colorful wild flowers． Water running into little pools． Birds making their homes in boxes． The 9， 500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park but there's a difference．It lies on the roofs（屋顶） of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden．
Green roofs are not a new invention．And now they are getting popular again．The common roofs of a modem city have endless black surfaces with no life or water．Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people．
Green roofs are not just pretty．They also help to moderate the city temperature．The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot．What is more，they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them，causing the "urban heat-island effect"．On a green roof， however， with its plants and water， temperatures change only a little， as they do in a park． This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below．
Also, a green roof takes in rain water， and protects the city drainage（排水） system．_____．And small animals and birds can make their homes on it．Thanks to this，the city may become part of nature， rather than something completely separate from it．
While the cost of building such as roof can still be higher， it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings． And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic， whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block．
61. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden， the writer wants to explain___．
A． how wildlife is protected B． what to do with a spare roof
C． how to organize a good park D． what a green roof is like
62. The underlined word "moderate" in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to "___"．
A． Raise B． control C． record D． check
63. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4？___
A． A green roof is alive B． A green roof stops pollution
C． A common roof is noisy D． A common roof increases the cost
64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？___
A． The Augustenborg Botanical Garden is the same as any other well-organized park．
B． Green roofs are now getting p
