题目内容
Dear Mr. Expert,
I grew up in a abusive(虐待的) home, I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house of my own, and I’m really proud .
Here’s the problem: some of my friends who still live with their parents spend the weekends with me. But now they make mine theirs. They bring boy friends over, talk on the phone, etc.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes –it makes the place feel comfortable and warm, but this is my home, not a party house, what shall I do?
Joan
Dear Joan,
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict that you grew up in. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send to your friends. For example, “I really love you, but I also need some personal space. So please call me before you come over .”
Edward

任务型阅读 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。
Nearly everyone wants to be successful. It can be very hard to succeed, though. Here is some advice to help you:
·Plan for success
Wanting success is not enough. You have to plan for it. Ask yourself: How am I going to be successful? What do I have to learn to achieve the success I want? And how long will it take me to get it? These questions will help you plan for your success.
·Form good habits
If you study the lives of successful people, you’ll find that they have excellent work habits. Edison, for example, had a habit of always coming up with new ideas, and this helped him become one of the greatest inventors. Forming such habits can be boring, but useful.
·Never stop learning
Successful people never stop learning. They never say“I’ve learned enough. There is nothing more I need to know.”You have to understand that the moment you stop learning is the moment you stop progressing. We live in an ever-changing (不断变化的) world, and need to be able to keep up with it.
·Let failure motivate (提升) you
It’s okay to fail, it happens to everyone. Michael Jordan, one of the most successful basketball player ever, used to say that his failure were what drove him to succeed. Learning from your mistake is what will put you on the road to the success you want.
