The decisions that we make shape us throughout our lives. No matter what decisions we make, good or bad, each one puts us on a new road in the future. Make a bad decision? No problem. Learn from the decision and make another decision to get on a different path. This is advice that I got from Tony Robbins in his book Awaken the Giant Within. This is a book that I recommend(推荐) to anyone wanting to develop a fire to make changes in their life. It helped me to understand how fear of making poor choices was hindering me from becoming the great man who I am today. Now I am not saying I am a well-known person in any particular circle. But I am the king of my castle working hard and trying to make good decisions in regard to the paths that I have chosen. I am a great man in the eyes of my wife and my children. And that is all the recognition that I need in my lifetime. And I know that my past failures have been the building block that I continue to use to build my career and self-image in my community that I live in.

Ben Lerer, cofounder of the CEO of Thrillist Media Group, is a good example of this. In an article on the Fast Company website, Lerer talks about this very subject. He says, “I’ve had to make some really tough decisions but finally, I think the best companies are those that can recognize when something isn’t going right, and fix it, instead of just turning a blind eye because it’s easier.” Great people make decisions. When a decision does not have the desired result, make a different decision. It does not get any simpler than that.

1.From Tony Robbin’s Awaken the Giant Within, the writer knew ________.

A. making a bad decision is very terrible

B. making decisions helps us become a great man

C. being afraid to make a bad decision is very natural

D. learning from the bad decision can help make a new choice

2.The underlined word “hindering” can be replaced by ________.

A. stopping B. stealing

C. preserving D. requiring

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. A bad decision has a bad effect on people.

B. The best company can admit and correct a bad decision.

C. People should learn how to make a good decision.

D. Making a decision is much simpler than changing one.

4.What could be the best title of the passage?

A. Overcome Your Fears B. Take Action

C. Make Decisions D. Trust Yourself

From the time l was young，I've noticed changes in people's hairstyles, clothes, facial expressions and behaviors. 1. I respond, “I pay attention."

I believe in paying attention to the world around me, in the power of paying attention..

I grew up on our family farm, surrounded by fields of wheat, soybeans, and corn. My grandpa Bohil always had an eye to the sky, interpreting the clouds and their various colors.

My mother sewed everything from curtains to clothes. She made quite a few of my clothes. Her pattern work was so precise, her seam（线缝）work so exact. Fittings were exercises in detail. 3.

4. It was the clothes on my body, and the quilt on my bed. Noticing was the crops in the fields, and the clouds in the sky.

The world is made up of one detail after another, and by opening my eyes to each of them, I can see the world much more clearly, much more broadly. By paying attention, I learn to expand.

A. So if I notice that your eyes look dull instead of bright, you will know why.

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look? 1.

The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. __2. .

But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.

__3. “we do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained, “ but extremes (极端)of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.

__4.. Ludovica Gaudio,14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. 5. “ I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “In winter , when dressed like that ,it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
