In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. One day he made up his mind. Baltimore was the nearest large seaport(海港). The next morning he set out on the forty-mile journey to try to find on a sailing ship.

In Baltimore, Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship. For the next five years, Henson around the world. With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, history, geography, and many other .

Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Lieutenant Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to go with him.

Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved to be a worthy and smart seaman. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream .

Over the next five years, the two explorers(探险家) made two trips together to the Arctic(北极). However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were than either of them had ever imagined.

In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final challenge at reaching the North Pole. With four guides, they made a mad dash straight across the ice. Peary’s feet were so frostbitten(冻僵的) that he had to be pulled on a dogsled. April 1909, Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole.

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals(个人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.

Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.

Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.

Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula（公式）for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.

Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.

Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination(终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.

Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change…you will change, you will succeed.

1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success?

A. Working hard. B. Good education.

C. Strong desire. D. Enjoying failure.

2.What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.” ?

A. It’s not easy for people to develop their health.

B. You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.

C. Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.

D. Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.

3.What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph?

A. Failure is the mother of success.

B. Many hands make light work.

C. Every dog has its day.

D. Actions speak louder than words.

4.Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage?

A. If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.

B. If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.

C. Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.
