[1]Everyone has talent, but not everyone succeeds with their talent．More factors than mere talent attribute to a greater personal success．Having talent or being talented is never enough to find success in life．
[2] Dr．John Maxwell has written a new book to explain that there is more to success than just being talented．He says that the only way to find success in life is to apply good choices to talent and rise above the crowd．He believes that talented people need more than their gifts or abilities to succeed in life．There must be something more than inst talent to become successful．A talent plus person, a person who rises above the understanding of mere talent, is much more likely to find success than those ________．
[3] People who have talent must be willing to make the right choices to maximize their talent．Wrong choices will minimize their talent, preventing them from rising to higher levels in life．Maximizing talent requires people to make good choices, but understanding that there are specific things in life requires no talent at all．Maxwell lists many different choices that people make to become a talent-plus person, including Belief lifts talent, Relationships influence talent, Responsibility strengthens talent, Teamwork multiplies talent, etc．
[4] Following the simple principles found in the book can not only help people raise the level of their talent but also raise their level of living．When people combine the principles with their talents they can become a talent-plus person．The choice becomes one of willingness and personal change．Talent-plus people have the ability to change their life and the world．

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2, 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives .
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker（面包师）in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
By eight o’clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall among them .
Samuel Pepys , the famous writer, writer about the fire, “People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat .”
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path（路径） of the fire.With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among which was the new St Paul’s
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.
