20.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 found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:
Busy!Busy!
(36)DIn 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.
(37)B 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.(38)F.
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.(39)GBy 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.(40)C.

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.They 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 offer the chance for good opportunities.
19.Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations,but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes,roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way,they must not kick or throw their cheese,or go into their competitors'lane.Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly,but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones).All the competitors are served with beer or port wine,the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival-The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque,New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia,the Caribbean and China,but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy,but hot enough to make your mouth burn,your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world-or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing's for sure-if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue,this festival isn't for you!
La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August,the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina-the world's largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour,in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves,runs,or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again-and for a much-needed wash!
