What is real success? I am sure many would come up with answers like lots of money, a big house, a new car, and so on.

It has been interesting to see how my own idea of success has through the years. When I was young, I was eagerly reaching for material success. I chose my jobs accordingly and ended up in . Sure enough, I did earn some pretty good pay checks.

But then a different feeling started to . I began to realize selling was not what I wanted to do all my life. After all I was often forced to sell products that did not really suit customers. All that matters is the amount of money that is made. I became very unhappy.

I came to realize that even with big pay checks I did not feel successful. That is when my search for success turned inwards, I sales and chose another profession¨Chelping people. The feeling of relief and belonging was great¨Cand suddenly I felt successful again. Even though I earned than before, I was much more content.

Then I returned to my old love¨Cwriting.

I realized I felt most successful when I loved what I did never the money. Then for my own I define success by the feeling of contentment.

Always remember¨Cyou are not here to anyone else¡¯s life but your own. It is not your obligation (ÒåÎñ) to please others with your life ¨C only yourself, because only if you are happy yourself can you happiness to others. You cannot give what you do not have.

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning.

But after a while I couldn¡¯t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity (ЧÂÊ) was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong.

The most common wrong strategy is this: supposing you¡¯re going to get up earlier, you¡¯d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.

There are two main schools (Á÷ÅÉ) of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you¡¯re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, you¡¯ll sometimes go to bed when you aren¡¯t sleepy enough. You¡¯re wasting time lying in bed awake.

My solution is to combine both methods. I go to bed when I¡¯m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.

However, going to bed only when I¡¯m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.

D. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping

A. Going to bed early and getting up early.

B. Going to bed late and getting up late.

C. Going to bed when sleepy and getting up at a fixed early time.

D. Going to bed early and getting up late.

4.The passage is mainly about ________.

Alzheimer's disease£¨ÀÏÄê³Õ´ôÖ¢£©affects millions of people around the world. American researchers say the disease will affect more than one hundred million people worldwide by the year twenty fifty. That would be four times the current number. Researchers and doctors have been studying Alzheimer's patients for a century. Yet the cause and the cure for the mental sickness are still unknown. However, some researchers have made important steps towards understanding it.

Several early signs of the disease involve memory and thought processes. At first, patients have trouble remembering little things. Later, they have trouble remembering more important things, such as the names of their children.

There are also some physical tests that might show who is at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The tests look for proteins in brain and spinal cord(¼¹Ëè) fluid. The proteins appear to be found only in people with the disease. The protein tests correctly identify the presence of the disease in about ninety percent of patients.

Now, a much simpler physical test to predict Alzheimer's risk has been developed. Researchers found that trouble with the sense of smell can be one of the first signs of Alzheimer's. Using this information, they developed a test in which people were asked to identify twelve familiar smells. These smells included cinnamon, black pepper, chocolate, paint thinner, and smoke.

The study continued for five years. During this period, the same people were asked to take several tests measuring their memory and thought abilities. Fifty percent of those who could not identify at least four of the smells in the first test had trouble with their memory and thinking in the next five years.

Another study has shown a possible way to reduce a person's chances of developing Alzheimer's disease in old age. Researchers in Chicago found that people who use their brains more often are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Those who read a newspaper, or play chess or word games are about three times less likely to develop the condition.

Researchers say they still do not know what causes Alzheimer's disease. But they say these findings might help prevent the disease in the future.
