【题目】The Winner’s Guide to Success

Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 【1】

Be responsible for yourself.

Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you are giving away your own power. _2

Write a plan.

It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. _【3 Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.

_4

Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.

Never give up.

__5 When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.

A. A good plan is like a map to you.

B. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.

C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they didn’t work harder earlier.

D. You are saying you have more control over my life than I do.

E. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.

F. Be willing to pay the price.

G. Here are some keys to success that they give.

【3】A

【4】F

【5】B

【解析】

试题分析:本文主要讲述了要想成功几个关键所在

【1】G 接下来的几段内容都是讲这些成功人士给出的成功关键所在。故G项符合上下文。

【2】D 根据前句你把自己的失败归咎他人,实际上是你自己放弃了成功的希望,真正该责备的应该是你自己。故D项符合上下文。

【3】A 根据前句说明很多人都是在没有计划的情况下就开始的,那么就好像是在一个完全不熟悉的路上开车一样,所谓预则立,故A项符合上下文。

【4】F 此空是一个小标题。根据下文Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done.可知想成功不是那么容易,你一定要准备努力工作——甚至比以前更努力。故F项Be willing to pay the price.愿意付出代价。符合上下文语境

【5】B 根据本段所列举的例子可知是告诉我们在有了想法的情况之下要立刻行动起来,不要有任何的延误。故B项符合上下文。

【名师点评】本文主要讲述了要想成功要注意的几个关键的方面。实际上本题考查了学生的配对能力,要求考生能抓住段落的中心思想和选项中的关键词,进行合理的配对。

【题目】On a Saturday night at home while relaxing with friends, a dog showed up at the house. In an attempt to find the legal owner and return the dog, we knocked on the door of the legal owner and an old man opened the door. This was the start of an interesting week.

The old man sat down, made himself at home, and gifted us the dog. After a brief visit, he left, and we were now the proud owners of this dog. It takes experience and knowledge to know that our lifestyle can’t satisfy the needs of this dog; the owner that gifted us the dog was mismatched for him as well.

Three attempts to return the dog to his old owner failed. (I think he was avoiding us.) Because our lifestyle didn’t allow us to give this poor dog the attention he needed, he disturbed the neighbors. They got involved. After we shared the story, they gained a new perspective and wisely stepped in to help us find a solution.

One week later it was decided that dog would be picked up from us by the old neighbor. He would then return it to the previous owner who was more equipped to care for it.

When faced with unexpected challenges in life, it helps to see everyone’s perspective. We have to look at one another’s perspective to solve a problem with honesty, experience and knowledge. That’s the sign of a leader. Although the old neighbor typically has little to do with leadership, it did bring a neighborhood together to understand one another and work as a team to solve a problem.

【1】Why was the dog taken to the author’s home?

A. To find food to eat.

B. To seek a proper owner.

C. The author was friendly to him.

D. The old man couldn’t feed him.

【2】What did the author find after he was gifted with the dog?

A. He didn’t like the dog at all.

B. He could deal with dog easily.

C. The old neighbor was cheating him.

D. It was unsuitable for him to keep the dog.

【3】What does the author intend to stress in the text?

A. The value of team spirit.

B. The smartness of the old neighbor.

C. The importance of leadership skills.

D. The need for calmness in front of challenges.

Money Matters

Parents should help their children understand money. 【1】 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

3. 4

Begin at the grocery store(杂货店). Pick out two similar brands(商标) of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 5 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to buy another one with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for buying others.

History is a record of what has happened in the past. 【1】 The really fascinating thing is that much of history has been repeated time and again. It allows us to learn from the past, both the mistakes made and the successes achieved.

One of the benefits of history is reading how other people both famous and totally unknown have overcome tremendous challenges in their life.
