What do the world’s most successful people all have in common?

By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey Preffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:

Busy ! Busy!

1. In a study of general managers in industry, John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week—which translates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.

Just Say No!

The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything. And that’s what gives them the time to accomplish so much. 2. And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions(分神).

Know What You Are!

Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths. Don’t waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence. Instead, focus on—and build on—your strengths. 3. .

Create Good Luck!

Luck is not magical—there is a science to it. Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor, and broke down what they do right. 4. By being more outgoing, open to new ideas, following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky people create possibilities.

Does applying these principles to your life actually work? Wiseman created a “luck school” to test the ideas—and it was a success. In total, 80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased. 5. .

A. Spend enough time to improve your weakness.

B. Achievement requires focus.

C. On average, these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40 percent.

D. High achievers never stop working and they never lose a minute.

E. Busy people are more likely to be lucky.

F. This means knowing who you are, what you are and what you are good at.

G. Certain personality types are luckier because they behave in a way that offers the chance for good opportunities.

On the broad landing between Miss Havisham's own room and that other room in which the long table was laid out, I saw a garden chair -- a light chair on wheels that you pushed from behind. It had been placed there since my last visit, and that same day I pushed Miss Havisham in this chair (when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room, and across the landing and round the other room, which, from that day on, became my regular job.

As we began to be more used to one another, Miss Havisham talked more to me, and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed(做学徒) to Joe, my sister’s husband; then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything, in the hope that she might offer some help. But, she did not; on the contrary, she seemed to prefer my being ignorant. Neither did she ever give me any money - or anything but my daily dinner - nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services.

Estella was always about, and always let me in and out, but never told me I might kiss her again. Sometimes, she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes, she would be seemingly kind to me; sometimes, she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes, she would tell me energetically that she hated me. Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper, or when we were alone, “Does she grow prettier and prettier, Pip?” And when I said yes, Miss Havisham would seem to enjoy it greedily. Also, when we played at cards Miss Havisham would look on Estella's moods, whatever they were. And sometimes, when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do, Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness, saying something quietly in her ear that sounded like “Break their hearts my pride and hope, break their hearts and have no mercy!”

1.What did Pip regularly do at Miss Havisham’s home?

A. He placed the garden chair on the broad landing.

B. He walked with Estella’s hand upon his shoulder.

C. He learned knowledge from Miss Havisham.

D. He pushed Miss Havisham in the wheel chair.

2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. Pip was excited to learn from Joe, his sister’s husband.

B. Pip desired to improve his present situation.

C. Miss Havisham felt sorry about Pip’s being ignorant.

D. Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her.

3.What’s Estella’s attitude towards Pip?

A. Changeable B. Sincere

C. Warm-hearted D. Indifferent

4. Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because _______.

A. she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip.

B. she felt worried about Estella’s moods.

C. she thought Estella did something right.

D. she treated Estella like her own daughter.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. 1. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future.

The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 2.

Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. 3.

When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to hose(软管) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. 4.

The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. ____5. It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.

A. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit.

B. Other experts however think the car is here to stay.

C. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.

D. There will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic.

E. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system which seems to hold water.

F. The computer will then monitor all the car’s movements.

G. All of the experts don’t know what will happen in the future.
