No personal success, achievement, or goal, can be realized without self-discipline. 1. It is the ability to control one’s impulses, emotions, desires and behavior.

How to develop self-discipline? We’ll explore it together.

· Start with baby steps. No process takes place overnight. 2. So, begin by making the decision to go forward and learning what it takes to get there.

“I’ve changed my mind.I wanted to have a telescope,but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to his father for Christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate,must have touched everyone’s heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us,we cannot see the stars for a while.

But Lucien,the stars are still there,and one day,when you are older and your tears have gone,you will see them again.And,in a strange way,I expect that you will find your father there,too,in your mind and heart.I find that my parents,who died years ago,still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor,I was so proud,or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents.The reply was a long time in coming,but when it did,all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.

It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors,and to lay down my life for those in my care?How many people would want me back for Christmas?It’s a serious thought,one to give me pause.

I pray silently,sometimes,in the dead of night,that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword,and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all,and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever,but live as if we will die tomorrow.We live on,I’m sure,in the lives of those we love,and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true,there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

Many of us still tend to think that emotions can affect reasonable thought,and sometimes land us in trouble. But in recent years psychologists have taken quite a different view. Keith Oatley,Professor of Psychology at Glasgow University,is involved in the research which shows the fundamental importance of emotions.

He believes we are very ambivalent about them:we think of our emotions as being unreasonable,but we also consider them as essential to being human.For example,Mr Spock,a character in the television series Star Trek,is super?intelligent and he has no emotions at all.However,he is never made captain of the spaceship.Maybe,this is because Mr Spock is not the kind of person you can share your feelings with—a person who shows his emotions.

As Professor Oatley points out,our emotions have very important functions,for example,fear.If we cross the road and a car approaches,we usually stop moving or step back.We stop what we are doing,check what we have done and pay very careful attention to the environment.The emotion of fear makes us take this small series of actions which,on average,help preserve our safety.

On the other hand,if things are going well and small problems come up,we find we can solve them with the resources we have to hand.As a consequence,we tend to feel happy and usually continue doing the job.

Anger is an emotion that tends to occur when someone is preventing us from doing something.Then this small “kit” of reactions enables us to prepare ourselves to be quite aggressive to that person,or to try harder,and so on.

Professor Oatley believes emotions generally occur at these important moments in actions.With fear and anger our emotions make us decide to start doing something else,while with happiness they “suggest” we continue what we are already doing.

1.What’s Keith Oatley’s opinion about emotions?

A.They affect reasonable thought.

B.They get us into trouble.

C.They are helpful to us.

D.They are reasonable.

2.What does the underlined part “we are very ambivalent about them” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.We have contradictory feelings towards emotions.

B.We have similar ideas of emotions.

C.We are quite clear about emotions.

D.We can do nothing about emotions.

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Fear helps us to be careful about our surroundings.

B.Happiness inspires us to continue what we are doing.

C.Anger may urge us to make greater efforts.

D.Anger tends to do us more harm than good.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A.we must control our emotions in daily life

B.emotions play a more important part than we realize

C.positive emotions such as love and joy are good for us

D.negative emotions make us continue what we are doing

There are various reasons why cancers appear to be on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these years, there are more cancer sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (诊断), doctors can more easily recognize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly diagnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and conditions of modern living, including heavy smoking and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions than before.

We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examination of the blood.

Researchers in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time.

The researchers believe the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.

The test examines very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer.

The researchers say the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray.

1.Who will fail cancer from the study of the researchers?

A. The young. B. The middle age and the older.

C. The man. D. The woman.

2.The underlined words "such a test" refer to ________.

A. the test that shows which persons have cancer and which don’t

B. the test that may be able to show cancer very early in its development

C. a simple medical test that cannot find cancer when it is small

D. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way

3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients’ blood.

B. People living in better conditions are most likely to be attacked by cancer.

C. X-raying is the best way to determine whether a person has cancer or not.

D. Cancers have nothing to do with a person’s habits and living conditions.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. A simple way to cancer B. Cancers can be cured

C. How to find cancer D. Early discovery of cancer

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two?thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.

What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.

The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

1.The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A.early B.sweetly

C.quickly D.smoothly

2.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?

A.They eat and sleep together.

B.They observe each other's behaviors.

C.They learn to speak each other's language.

D.They know something from each other's voices.

3.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.

A.have common interests

B.are less different than thought

C.have a common body language

D.are less intelligent than expected

4.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A.We should learn to live in harmony.

B.We should know more about animals.

C.We should live in peace with animals.

D.We should learn more body languages.
