Today we have the second report explaining how to prepare fish by drying or smoking them. We talked last week about the first steps of cleaning and salting freshly caught fish.

To dry fish, you will need either a drying table or a place to hang them. If a table is used, it should have a top made of wire screen or thin pieces of wood with space between each piece.

Lay the cleaned, wet salted fish on top of the table. Do not let them touch each other. Be sure that air can reach the fish from all sides.

    For best results, put the drying table under a tree. Turn the fish over every other day. Small fish will dry in about three days if the air is dry. Large fish will take a week or ten days to dry.

After the fish have dried, place them in a basket. Cover them with clean paper or large leaves. Then put the basket in a cool, dry place off the ground.

Make sure as much of the saltwater as possible is removed before you smoke the fish.

The smoking can be done in a large, round metal container. Remove the top of the drum and cut a small opening on one side at the bottom.

Cover the top with a strong wire screen, where you put the fish. Build a small fire in the drum by reaching in through the opening at the bottom.

Wood from fruit trees makes good fuel for your fire. It will give the smoked fish good color and taste. One way to get a lot of smoke is to use green wood, not dried wood.

You should smoke the fish for five days or longer if you plan to keep them for a long time. After that, wrap them in clean paper, put the fish in baskets and keep them in a cool, dry place off the ground.

64．From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 we can learn that        .

       A．people prefer to dry fish under a tree

       B．fish don’t taste best if they are outside

       C．under a tree is the only place for you to dry fish

       D．fish taste best if they are dried out of bright sunlight

65．The underlined word “it” Paragraph 9 refers to “        ”.

       A．the wood             B．the fuel                C．the fire                D．the smoke

66．What can we infer from the passage?

       A．To smoke fish, you have to salt the fish first.

       B．Smoked fish can only be kept in a basket.

       C．You’d better use dried wood to smoke fish.

       D．Smoked fish taste better than dried fish.

67．In drying or smoking fish, the following tools are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT      .

       A．wire screen         B．spoon                  C．basket                 D．wood

How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.   
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead.They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separate successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose”——they are doing what they believe they are put here to do．In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people．They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do—and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment（投身；奉献）. To live their life on purpose，successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up.Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.Rather than seeing it negative or depressing they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
