11．Success does not belong to a select group of individuals．Success belongs to those who are willing——青夏教育精英家教网—

11．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．

9．Like the post-90s generation in China，today's teenagers in the UK have a problem with how they're represented．Most of them feel unfairly represented by the media and their lives are negatively （负面地） influenced，says a recent survey．
The survey was carried out by the UK Demos，in which more than 1000 14-17-year-old teens from England and Northern Ireland took part．
The survey report shows that four-fifths of teens （81%） felt there was a false image of young people in the media and wider society．Most of them （85%） said that it is hurting both their self-esteem（自尊） and chance of getting a job．
By researching six UK newspapers over the past 10years，Demos found that words most commonly connected with"teenagers"and"young people"were "binge-drinking"，"yobs" and"crime"．
"The young people out there are doing good things for the community，but there are always bad things on the news．But we're not all like that，it's only a few，"said Becky Brunskill，18，member of Youth Parliament for Liverpool．
The survey also found that 80% of UK teenagers believed they cared more about social issues than the older generation．This was a view shared by their teachers，66% of whom agreed in a separate Demos survey of 500 teachers．
The UK youth are also eager to make a difference．But rather than traditional politics，87% of the teens believed social media was a good way to change society．
Jonathan Birdwell，author of the Demos report，said"They could be the most active citizens we have seen in a generation．"

34．What problem are current UK teenagers troubled with according to Demos？B
A．Their bad school image．
B．The media's negative image of them．
C．Their false social relationships．
D．The difficulty of getting jobs．
35．How many people think that the false image is hurting their self-esteem？C
A.800．
B.810．
C.850．
D.1000．
36．We can guess the underlined words"binge-drinking"and"yobs"are aboutA．
A．something bad
B．something good
C．students
D．adults
37．What can we tell from the passage？D
A．Few young British people are doing good things for the community．
B．British teenagers care more about their parents than social issues．
C．Young Britons are inactive in trying to prove themselves．
D．Young Britons believe social media is a good way to change society．

8．A recent report from Zhuzhou Daily says about 18% of Zhuzhou teenagers can have problems with their minds．Some students become worried because they have to study very hard．Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates．
Zhang Qiang，a Junior 2student from Zhuzhou，could not understand his teachers in class and was doing badly in his lessons．He was afraid of exams．When he looked at the exam paper，he couldn't think of anything to write．
Another student，a 15-year-old girl called Wu Yan often argued with her classmates even her parents because of some different ideas．She became so annoyed about them that she started to cut her finger with a knife．However，many students who have problems won't go for advice or help．Some think they will look stupid（愚蠢的）if they go to see a doctor．Others don't want to talk about their secrets．In order to solve the teenagers'problems，here is some advice：
●Talk to your parents or teachers often．
●Take part in group activities and play sports．
●Go to see a doctor if you feel unhappy or unwell．

7．Most young people want to travel abroad，but they don't have enough money．Working abroad!It's a good way to solve the money problem．It's interesting and unusual，Working abroad，you can take part in the life there and develop a real understanding of the culture．
Each summer，there are hundreds of volunteer work projects（项目） all over European and the United States．These projects give young travelers an exciting opportunity （机会） to spend two or four weeks．
Volunteers（志愿者） usually work about 40hours a week．No money is paid，but they can have free rooms and meals．Volunteers often live in a school or a church（教堂） and cook their own meals together．
Jimmy，a past volunteer，said，"My working experience abroad was fantastic．I was able to see and feel the way people live．The work was difficult，but I enjoyed myself in it．I will never forget the meaningful experience．"

6．Communication is the process by which we exchange information between people．To communicate well is to understand and to be understood．Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information．
Good communication skills are keys to success in life，work and relationships．Without effective（有效的） communication，a message can turn into error，misunderstanding，or even disaster．
In today's highly informational and technological environment，it has become more important to have good communication skills．Here are some important steps to communicate effectively．
Know what you want to say and why．Understand clearly the purpose of your message．Know to whom you are communicating and why．
How will you say it？We all know that it's not always what you say，but how you say it，that matters．Begin by making eye contact．You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak．Second，pay attention to your body language，since it can say so much more than your words．By standing with your arms easily at your side，you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say．
Communication is a two-way street．After you have said what you have to say，stop and listen．Practise your listening skills．Be considerate of others who are talking．Listen carefully and never cut them off．
76．What is communication？Communication is the process by which we exchange information between people
77．What can a message turn into if you don't have effective communication？
It can turn into error，misunderstanding，or even disaster

Before you talk，you need to know what the other person needs．．

5．In March 2014，Australia opened junior high education to Chinese students，allowing them to study in Australian schools from the seventh grade．
"When more Chinese students are going to study abroad at a younger age，the opening of Australian junior high schools offers Chinese students and their parents one more good choice，"Tian Litie，director of the Australian Department of Chivast Education International，said at the China International Education Exhibition Tour over the weekend．
Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese junior and senior high school students studying in the country．Tian showed the reasons for it：lower admission （入学许可） requirements and low-cost education because of a favorable exchange rate （费率）．According to Tian，in public schools in Australia a student should pay A13，000to A15，000 （10，000to 12，000）a year．
"Now the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to renminbi is below five，which means the cost is lower than that of Chinese students studying at junior and senior high schools in many other hot places，such as Britain and the US，"said Tian．
Lin Lina from Beijing plans to send her daughter to a senior high school in Australia，was among them．
"My daughter is good at English and would like to study abroad early，"said Lin，whose daughter is now a ninth-grader in Beijing．"We came for more information after we learned that the environment and education in Australia are good．"
Eliza Chui，education officer for North Asia at the Australian Consulate-General in Shanghai，said that Australia is attractive not only because it provides an environment for learning English，but also because students are trained to have critical （批判性的） thinking and be independent．

3．

All the time you spent memorizing multiplication tables（乘法表）may have made you a better mathematician，according to a new study．A team of scientists from Stanford University，in California，have shown how the brain reorganizes itself as kids learn math．
After a certain amount of time spent practicing math，kids can put away the calculator（计算器）．They don't even need to count on their fingers．They simply know the answers to subtraction（-），addition （+），and multiplication （×） facts．The quicker kids can recall basic math facts，the easier it is for them to solve more difficult math problems．
The Stanford University researchers observed（观察）the brain activity of 28students，ages 7to 9，for the study．They took scans of the students'brains as the students solved math calculations without the help of a calculator，pen or paper．A calculation-three plus four equals seven，for example-flashed on a screen．The students pushed a button to say if the answer was right or wrong．The scientists also recorded the response speed，and what parts of the brain became active as the kids pushed the button．
These observations showed a process called fact retrieval．Rather than using their fingers to count，or scrawling out equations（列算式）on a piece of paper，the students pulled the answers from memory．It's as if the answers to basic subtraction，addition，and multiplication problems are kept in a long-term storage part in the brain．The storage part was built from repetition．"Experience really does matter，"said Dr．Kathy Mann Koepeke of the National Institutes of Health．
Children make the change from counting to fact retrieval when they are 8to 9years old，the study says．This is the time when most students are learning basic addition and subtraction．When kids have basic math facts memorized，the brain has more free space to learn more difficult math．
This process has benefits for the future．The study showed，as kids got older，their answers relied more on memory and became quicker and more correct．Less brain activity was involved in counting．Some children make this change quicker than others．
Scientists hope to use this research to develop new strategies（策略）to help kids learn math at all levels．One strategy the study suggests is for students to test themselves in different orders-solving five times three before five times two，for example．Mixing up the order keeps the brain active．Keep these trainings up，and you may be a math whiz in no time．

52．In the study，kids put away calculators because they canC．
A．use calculators well

54．What can we know from the study？C
A．Kids need to practice using calculators to keep their brains active．
B．Math learners should change to counting practice at the age of 8to 9．
C．Training by mixing up the order of multiplication tables can help learn math better．
D．Less brain activity may be involved in solving difficult problems when kids get older．
55．What is the best title of the passage？A
A．Math from Memory
B．Strategy Development
C．Brain Reorganization
D．Training by Repetition．
