Isn't it amazing how one person,sharing one idea,at the right time and place can change the course of your life's history?This is certainly what happened in my life. When I was 14,I was a high school dropout (辍学学生) with learning disabilities.

One day I met an old man,a bum (流浪汉).He asked me if I was running away from home,because I looked so ____.Then he told me he had something grand to show me and ____ with me. We walked to the downtown library.

The bum first brought a couple of old ____ and then started with a few statements that were very special and that changed my life. He said,“There are two things I want to ____ you. Number one is to never ____ a book by its cover,for a cover can fool you”.

He followed with,“I'll bet (打赌) you think I'm a bum,don't you?”

“Yes,I ____ so,sir.”

“Well,young man,I've got a little ____ for you. I am one of the ____ men in the world. I have probably everything any man could ever want. But a year ago,my wife ____,and since then I have been deeply reflecting on(思考)life. I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life,one of ____ was what it would be like to live like a bum on the streets. For the past year,I have been going from city to city doing just that. So,you see,don't ever judge a book by its cover,for a cover can fool you.

Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren’t sure, you are far from being alone in your confusion. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 1.

1.Get specific

When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight" because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like. 2. Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.

2. 3.

Considering how busy most of us are, it's not surprising that we often miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means seize these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.

3.Know exactly how far you have left to go

Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring (监督)of your progress—if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior accordingly. 4.

It is my hope that you have gained some insight (认识)into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember: 5. It’s never what you are, but what you do.

A.Wait for opportunities to appear.

B.Seize the moment to act on your goals.

C.Here are things successful people do differently.

D.Next I'll talk about my own experience on how to achieve success.

E.You don't need to become a different person to become a more successful one.

F.Check your progress frequently — weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal.

G.Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there.

On warm summer days with little or no wind, the air temperature in cities can be up to ten degrees higher than that of the surrounding countryside. This is a phenomenon commonly referred to as the “urban heat island” effect.

This phenomenon happens when pavement, buildings, and other infrastructure (基础设施) replace natural land cover. Large amounts of paved and dark colored surfaces—such as roofs, roads, and parking lots—absorb, rather than reflect, the sun’s heat, causing surface temperatures and overall ambient (周围的) air temperature to rise. Unlike soil, paved areas contribute to runoff, which means that as paved areas increase, the amount of water available for evaporation (蒸发) decreases. Moreover, urban areas have fewer trees and less natural vegetation which help to control the heat by providing shade and blocking solar radiation. The surfaces of leaves also provide water for evaporation which cools the air, further worsening the heat island effect.

In particular, during summer, more energy is required to cool the insides of building and for refrigeration, thereby creating additional heat output. This in turn leads to higher ambient air temperatures, which can also significantly increase the formation of urban smog in an area, degrading local air quality. Such a situation may directly affect public health with individuals more likely to suffer from heat exhaustion and the effects of asthma (哮喘).

1.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means ________.

A.Due to dark colored roads, urban areas are becoming hotter each year

B.Dark colored surfaces reflect the sun’s heat, causing air temperatures to rise

C.Because urban surfaces absorb heat, air and surface temperatures increase

D.Rising ambient air temperatures lead to urban surfaces absorbing more heat

2.Which of the following is not a cause of the urban heat island effect?

A.The lack of trees

B.The demand for refrigeration

C.The blocking of solar radiation

D.The construction of infrastructure.

3.The underlined word “degrading” most probably means ________.

A.ignoring B.improving

C.highlighting D.worsening

4.The passage is mainly developed by ________.

A.giving typical examples

B.following the time order

C.presenting the effect and analyzing the cause

D.analyzing a problem and seeking the solution
