题目内容

From now on，never spend your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings．Instead，realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born．Only you have the power to make those seeds grow．

The seeds，and the power to grow them，are contained in the most wonderful machine ever made：the human mind．Success is a choice and not a chance．You were born a winner．You were born rich．You can be a success if only you make the right choice．

You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自尊) ．Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself , and thus over your life．People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power，or responsibility for their lives．They are the lasting victims (受害者) ．They are leaves moved from side to side by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather．

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible (负责) for everything that happens in your life．Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance．Successful people realize that they are responsible．

Everything happens as a result of something．If we can find out the cause，we can control the effect．We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe．One generally rises to the level that one expects．We are responsible for setting our expectations．Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence (自信)．

If you get along with positive-thinking people , you are definitely going to achieve success．On the contrary，the opposite happens．We are responsible for finding，planting，and taking care of the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks (挫折)．

In short，in all areas of your life，whether they are financial，physical，emotional，or spiritual，you are responsible．Once you recognize this，accept it，and firmly believe it，you are on the road to success．

57．People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they __________ ．

A．are ready to change their minds

B．are easily changed by windy weather

C．don’t have the power to face their future

D．can’t exercise control over themselves

58．Losers would think that __________ ．

A．success is the result of hard work

B．working hard will lead to success

C．their failure is only because of bad luck

D．they don’t make efforts to succeed

59．It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that __________ ．

A．whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes

B．developing confidence is the key to future success

C．thoughts and beliefs are the result of active mind

D．setting our expectations is extremely important before taking action

60．The last paragraph serves as __________ ．

Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers he collected. But soon the shoes will be sent to poor children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share our soles (S.O.S) charity.

A high school track star in the town of Ventura, California, Woodburn was treated in hospital for months with foot injuries.

“I started thinking about the health benefits, the friendship and the confidence I got from running,” he says, “And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes”.

Woodburn gathered up his old sneakers, and then asked his friends to donate. His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006. When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.

Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, city gym and recreation center. So far, S.O.S has collected and donated more than 3,000 pairs.

Woodburn has cleaned all the shoes. After sorting the shoes by size, Woodburn selects the good shoes for the washing machine and the worn-out ones for recycling.

For many recipients, the shoes represent opportunity. Two young boys in Southern California attended school every other day because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small for the other. Thanks to S.O.S, each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now attend school daily and enjoy their learning. When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.
