【题目】The Winner’s 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 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.

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 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 is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power.

E. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.

F. Don’t delay

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

【解析】

试题分析:人人都想成功,那么成功的人在想什么呢?读读这篇文章,你将知道答案。

【1】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。通过下文的各个小标题可知此处是成功人士给出的答案,故选择G,意为:下面就是他们所给的成功的关键。

【2】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。通过小标题可知,这一段讲的是对自己负责,以及上一句说有时候你会责备他人让你无法向前,所以选择D,意为:事实上,如果你说有人使你不能成功,那么你就是在让出自己的权利。

【3】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据小标题可知,这一段讲的是制定计划,再根据下文的A good plan is like a map to you,可知计划对你而言就是地图,故选择A,意为就像在一个遥远的城市中的陌生的路上开车一样。

【4】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。通过小标题可知,这一段讲的是不要放弃。再联系下文可知,下文是举例告诉你,在做事情时,要不断提醒自己放弃比失败更糟糕。故选择B,意为:每个人都知道,但是说起来容易做起来难。

【5】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。此题是总结本段内容,得出小标题。根据下文所举例子可知,这位作家由于当时没有记下结尾而导致他的书没有完美的结尾,故得出结论,做事不要耽搁。所以选择F。

【题目】Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public,and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.

An attraction of sport programs for the major U. S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoonsthe slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.

Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.

Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率)are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars,business and personal computers,and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of company cars and computers. With such viewers,these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air.

【1】Television sport programs on weekend afternoons __________.

A. result in more sport events

B. get more viewers to play sports

C. make more people interested in television

D. bring more money to the television networks

【2】Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?

A. Because there would be few viewers.

B. Because the advertisers would be off work.

C. Because television programs would go slowly.

D. Because viewers would pay less for watching television.

【3】In many families, men make decisions on __________.

A. holiday trips

B. sports viewing

C. television shopping

D. expensive purchases

【4】The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because __________.

A. their advertisers are carmakers

B. their viewers are attracted by sports

C. their advertisers target at rich people

D. their viewers can afford expensive cars

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Television ratings are determined by male viewers.

B. Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.

C. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.

D. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.

【题目】 It is a bright morning in the Ethiopian countryside. Yohannes walks beside a pair of donkeys that are pulling a two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural town of Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart to display, not the usual vegetables or tools, but children’s books. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a few in the world.

Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children.

Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees, and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. It’s mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book.

“Without books, education is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you can’t really come alive,” says Yohannes. “The ability to read is the basis for greater productivity, better health and longer life. Even though the children lack material goods, with books they can imagine a world of possibilities.”

Yohannes first worked in the children’s section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative children’s literature is. He says, “I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring children’s books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?”

He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes every time.

“What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him.

“The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly.

【1】How do the children feel when they see the Donkey Mobile Library?

A. Curious. B. Surprised.

C. Interested. D. Excited.

【2】We can conclude from the passage that .

A. Ethiopian children have no idea about their future

B. Yohannes and Kurtz share similar life experiences

C. donkey carts in Awassa usually carry vegetables and tools

D. most books in the Donkey Mobile Library were bought in America

【3】According to the passage, the Donkey Mobile Library .

A. visits the countryside every day

B. benefits Ethiopian children a lot

C. was created by Yohannes himself

D. was the first of its kind in the world

【4】Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

A. A news report. B. A book review.

C. A historical story. D. An advertisement.
