【题目】We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and it’s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry. 1

Identify and understand what you want to change.

The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. 2 When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.

3

Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.

Choose the right company.

As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. 4

Believe that you are able to change.

5If you don’t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly that you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

A. Look for a role model.

B. There is always an opportunity for change.

C. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.

D. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.

E. The greatest obstacle is our inability to trust in what we can do.

F. Your effort to change will be easier with these people as friends.

G. Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change.

【题目】If you love adventure and excitement, then Erin Hunter's best-selling Warriors series is for you. The fantasy books follow four cat clans(家族) as they try to survive in the wilderness. In the latest book, Thunder Clan warrior Ashfur has been mysteriously murdered. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.

The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must make up many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own obstacles when her clan refuses to follow the warrior code. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. All the while, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever.

“Erin Hunter” is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry. They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Redwall, a very successful book written by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket,_they wanted their books to go onto the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a name that would be close to Jacques alphabetically(按字母排序地). Hunter fits perfectly.

“My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. He's got a quite dark side. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinderpelt. She is so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she wanted to be a warrior, she will make the best of her destiny. I really admire that in her,” said Victoria Holmes.
