6.Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I'm not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don't come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and that's just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it'll require even more time,time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don't enjoy what you do,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you're not willing to put in the time and work,don't expect to receive any rewards.Consistent,hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want,but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

A.work makes one feel pain                                     
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily                                  
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed

12.For most city people,the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains,jets,and even bicycles.Dr.Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who considerthisa misunderstanding.Without the elevator,they point out,there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings,and city life as we know it would be impossible.In that sense,they argue,the elevator's role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars.In fact,according to Wilk,the car and the elevator have been locked in a"secret war"for over a century,with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地),and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns.
If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators,it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring,and even awkward experience-one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common,and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we're hanging from a cable in a long passage.
In a new book,Lifted,German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience,studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience."After 150years,we are still not used to it,"Bernard said."We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure."That mixture,according to Bernard,sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.
Today,as the world's urban population explodes,and cities become more crowded,taller,and more crowded,America's total number of elevators-900,000at last count,according to Elevator World magazine's"2012Vertical Transportation Industry"-are a force that's becoming more important than ever.And for the people who really,really love them,it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.

67.What does the underlined word"this"in Paragraph 1refer toA?
A.The general view of elevators.
B.The particular interests of experts.
C.The desire for a remarkable machine.
D.The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.
68.The author's purpose in mentioning cars isB.
A.to contrast their functions with elevators'
B.to emphasize the importance of elevators
C.to reveal their secret war against elevators
D.to explain people's preference for elevators
69.According to Prof.Bernard,what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiencesC?
A.Vertical direction.
B.Lack of excitement.
C.Little physical space.
D.Uncomfortable conditions.
70.The author urges readers to considerC.
A.the exact number of elevator lovers
B.the serious future situation of elevators
C.the role of elevators in city development
D.the relationship between cars and elevators.
12.Christopher Thomas,27,was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast.Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病),Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage,blindness and even death.And if that weren't bad enough,he had no health insurance.
  After a month of feeling upset,Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back.He left Canton,Michigan for New York,got a job waiting tables,nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar,and created diabeticrockstar.com,a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1,100people share personal stories,information,and resources.
  Jason Swencki's son,Kody,was diagnosed with diabetes at six.Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings."Kody gets so excited,writing to kids from all over,"says Swencki,one of the site's volunteers."They know what he's going through,so he doesn't feel alone."
  Kody is anything but alone:Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States,with 24million diagnosed cases.And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
   These days,Thomas's main focus is his charity(慈善机构),Fight It,which provides medicines and supplies to people-225to date-who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses.Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000-in products and in cash.In May,Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
  Even with a staff of 22volunteers,Thomas often devotes up to 50hours a week to his cause,while still doing his full-time job waiting tables."Of the diabetes charities out there,most are putting money into finding a cure,"says Bentley Gubar,one of Rockstar's original members."But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."

2.Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amesterdam andUtrecht in theGooi area of North Holland,the Netherlands.Unlike most of theNetherlands,Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand.Once called the Garden of Amsterdam,it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests.They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness.For Dutch people,Hilversum is all about textile(纺织)and media industries,and modern architecture.
In history,Hilversum was largely an agricultural area.Daily life was marked by farming,sheep raising and wool production.A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum.They built themselves large villas(别墅)in the wooded surroundings of the town.One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers,currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the textileindustry and aided a substantial textileindustry in Hilversum.But the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the 1960s.
The change to a media economy started in 1920,when theNederlandseSeintoestellenFabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town.Television gave another push to the local economy.Hilversum became the media capital of theNetherlands,and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.
In the early 1900s,modern architects W.M.Dudok and J.Duiker placedhundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum.These modern architecturalmasterpieces(杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open airmuseum.Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75buildings still bear his unique characteristics.His masterpiece,Hilversum Town Hall,was built in 1928-1931.It has wide international fame and is included in manyarchitecture textbooks.The building has remarkable shape and looks like acombination of"blocks".Actually,one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M.Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.
