Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience.

Four Habits to Help You Succeed

We all want to succeed, whether it’s in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? 【1】_________

Identify your core values.

Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. 【2】_________ Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.

Pick a goal and focus on it.

Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. 【3】_________ If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.

Set a deadline for success.

Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. 【4】_________ By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.

【5】_________

Failure can’t be avoided when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!

A. The more focused yo are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.

B. Make the right decision.

C. I’ve made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.

D. Stick to your goal.

E. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time.

F. Sit and reflect on what you value most.

G. Push yourself to be courageous, and take the next step.

【题目】阅读理解。

How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?

Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal.

In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.

According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路) in the teens’ brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.

So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?

Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.

In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.

In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.

“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.

【1】You may find this text in a magazine about ____.

A. technology B. education

C. entertainment D. social life

【2】Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan?

A. People who are living with their parents.

B. Those who lack social recognition.

C. People who are the focus of attention.

D. Those who want to blanket what they’ve done.

【3】We know from the last paragraph that ____.

A. checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time

B. it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions

C. focusing on one’s self-esteem is quite natural

D. self-teem has a bad effect on one’s goals

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s addiction to “thumbs up”?

A. worried. B. objective.

C. critical. D. supportive.

【题目】Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few---for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy(亲密) between them and the reasons for the shared interests vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic conditions, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.

Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common ---they often talk about “being on the same wavelength.” It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and try to tolerate differences of opinion.

In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two persons. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.

【1】According to the author, ____.

A. all those who get on well with each other are friends

B. friends are closer than people who just get on with each other

C. everyone understands clearly how to make friends

D. every student has 6 friends

【2】In paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means ____.

A. using the same frequency while taking

B. keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do

C. having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests

D. having the same background

【3】Which of the following is not implied in the passage?

A. Even friends may have differences of opinion.

B. Friends never argue with each other.

C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends.

D. Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.

【4】To strengthen friendly relationship, people ____.

A. must hold friendship ceremonies

B. have to eliminate(消除) differences in background

C. should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same race

D. should support and understand each other through shared experiences and emotions
