11.One of the keys to being successful is persistence(坚持).Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve,you must take active action in order to succeed.
One of the things you'll notice on your journey towards your goal are roadblocks.That is,you will come across obstacles(障碍) to discourage your progress.Actually,they are a part of life.Everyone would have every success they ever wanted if there were no obstacles.Your job is to be persistent and work through those obstacles.If you find little or no obstacles along the way,chances are that you are not really challenging yourself.And when you do reach your goal,you won't experience the feeling of"sweet success".Make your goal a challenging one!
If you take the time to study any successful person,you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more"failures"than they have had"successes".This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble(绊倒)and fall,the more they get right back up and get going again.On the other hand,people that don't get back up and try again,never reach success.For example,Walt Disney was turned down 302times before he got financing for his dream of creating the"Happiest Place on Earth".Today,due to his persistence,millions of people have shared"the joy of Disney".
Having known these facts,keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate(再评估)your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal.There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly!Sometimes you have to modify(修改)your approach along the way.Every time you do something you learn from it,and
therefore find a better way to do it the next time.
Today is the day to begin your journey,using consistency and persistency,towards tomorrow's successes!

15.Among rich countries,people in the United States work the longest hours.They work much longer than in Europe.This difference is quite surprising because productivity(生产力) per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France,Spain and Germany,and it is growing at a similar speed.
In most countries and at most times in history,as people have become richer they have chosen to work less.In other words they have decided to"spend"a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life.Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern,and hours of work have fallen sharply.But not in the United States.We do not fully know why this is.One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America,which increase the rewards to work.Another may be more satisfying work,or less satisfying personal lives.
Longer hours do of course increase the GDP(国内生产总值).So the United States has produced more per worker than,say,France.The United States also has more of its people at work,while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home.The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France,even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
It is not clear which of the two situations is better.As we have seen,work has to be compared with other values like family life,which often get lost in its interest.It is too early to explain the different trends(趋势)in happiness over time in different countries.But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975,while it has risen in Europe.Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance?
29.Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?D
A.Spain.B.France.C.Germany.D.America.
30.What message can we get from the text?B
A.The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
B.Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
C.People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
D.Americans are happier than Europeans.
31.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?D
A.Americans and Europeans
B.Staying at Home
C.Work and Productivity
D.Work and Happiness.
12.People from other countries will find many different surprising things in Britain.
Greek:A man from Greece sees a special way of driving in Britain.People drive on the left in the British street,but the British people never feel surprised.The Greek man said,"I've been in Britain for nearly a month now.But at first,I couldn't always remember to drive on the left.Every time,my friend reminded me."
Japanese:Japanese people can't understand why British people keep their shoes on at home.In Japan,people walk in the room without shoes.If visitor keeps his shoes on at home in Japan,the Japanese people think he is very impolite.
Spanish:The Spanish people mind the way that the British people greet each other.They themselves seem to be afraid of touching(接触).When they meet,they just smile or nod but never kiss or hug(拥抱)in Spain.But the British people think kissing is a very usual greeting when they meet!
There is an old saying,"When in Rome,do as Romans do."When we go to a foreign country,we should follow the etiquette (礼节) of country.

9.Dear friend,
For the past 17 years,you have been my best friend.I remember that you told me you were called Cigarette because of your features.You have seen me through difficult times,happy times and just about every stage of my life.You have always been here when I need you.Some of my family and friends didn't like you so much,but I've always been on your side.I thought you were a great friend,and I counted on you at all times,especially when I was not very happy.
It's hard for me to tell you this,but in the past few months,I have been seriously thinking about ending our relationship.I think that I‘ve just been too dependent on you,and I feel that at the age of 35 I should start being more independent.I thought about just maybe seeing you once in a while,but I don't think that would work.Eventually,I'd start relying on you all the time again.I feel the only way to end our relationship is to end it forever.
I've always included you in everything I've done.But next week,I'm going on a trip,and I've decided not to take you along.I feel this would be a good time to break up.I will be gone for a whole week without you and if I can make it on my own for that week,I know I can make it forever.
It is a little sad for me knowing that I won't be able to rely on you any more,but I think I will be a better person in the end.
