【题目】We’ve always been fascinated by consistently successful people. Most of them were not born into success. And they simply continue to do things that help them realize their full potential. 1

Create and pursue goals. Successful people are objective.2 They know what they are looking for and why they are fighting for it. Successful people always create and pursue their goals.

Take decisive and immediate action. Sadly, very few people ever live to become the success story they dream about.3 You can’t change anything or make any sort of real-world progress without taking action. So make the decision and take action immediately.

Focus on being productive, not being busy. Busy people are heading to work, meetings, social engagements, etc. But it may be an illusion. They’re like hamsters (仓鼠) running on a wheel. The solution: Slow down. Put first things first.4 And always remember, results are more important than the time it takes to achieve them.

5 If you’re selling a product line, don’t keep it so complicated. And if you’re trying to make a decision about something, don’t waste all your time evaluating every last detail of every possible option. Choose something that you think will work, give it a shot, and keep pressing forward.

A. Keep things simple.

B. Do one thing at a time.

C. It will be hard in the beginning.

D. They have realistic targets in mind.

E. Here are some things they do differently.

【题目】Listed below are the stories of women you may not know about, but definitely should.

Hedy Lamarr

Hedy Lamarr starred in many films. But her film career is far from her only noteworthy achievement; she was also a brilliant inventor. In 1942, she and composer George Antheil received a patent(专利)for a device that could change radio signal frequencies. The purpose of the technology was to keep military enemies from figuring out messages. But it did more than that - it laid a foundation for the wireless technology we use today.

Maria Sibylla Merian

Today, children can happily explain how a caterpillar(毛虫) tums into a butterfly. But there was a time when no one knew this. Until the 1670s, scientists thought that caterpillars and butterflies were two totally different creatures. Thanks to Maria, we know the truth about these beautiful winged insects. Fascinated by insects, she began collecting, studying and drawing them as a child. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles. She published two volumes of naturalist research, which provide major contributions to the field of entomology(昆虫学).

Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace, the daughter of celebrated British poet Lord Byron, wasn’t a poet herself but the world’s first computer programmer. We think of computers as a recent invention, but people were toying with the idea of “computing machines” in the mid – 19th century when Lovelace was alive. Lovelace’s mathematical genius was apparent at a young age and caught the attention of Cambridge professor Charles Babbage, who was working to design early computing machines that would be able to quickly solve math problems. Lovelace wrote some suggestions as to how to program the machines to work out numbers.

In addition to designing this early computer program, she was also the first to surest that these computers might be able to do more than compute. She imagined them doing almost everything, from producing images to composing music.

2Before Maria’s discovery, people thought that .

C. She received education in Cambridge University.

D. She is considered to have invented the computer.
