I remember as a small child people would often ask me, "What are you going to be when you grow up?"

Well, it __36__ being a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, a policeman, a lawyer... As I grew older my dreams for the future __37__. When, at last, I was in college, I set my __38__ on becoming a preacher (牧师) like my father. __39__ I studied and prepared for that life. I reached the __40__ in the end and I was preaching __41__ full-time for much of my adult life.

However, for many people, there is a "thief" that goes around stealing our __42__. Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the __43__ thief is usually ourselves.

We find __44__ just about reaching the top, and a "small" __45__ inside says, "You’ll never make __46__.""You can’t possibly do this." On and on the "small" voice __47__ our failure. Failure ,__48__ is one of the most important tools we have may teach us valuable (极宝贵的) __49__ . When we learn these lessons well, we are ready __50__ success.

I always tell my children that you __51__ do anything that your heart desires(渴望). Remember the saying, "Nothing is __52__ to a willing heart." There are __53__ "overnight" successes, but with determination, they will come. Imagine __54__ a life you dream of ,Then in your heart, believe it will happen to you. Then work, work, work. You’ll get the picture.

So, be true to your dream, and don’t let anyone __55__ it from you —especially yourself.

You can improve your child’s hearing memory considerably(在很大程度上). Once his hearing memory has been greatly improved, he'll be able to use and remember what he listens to in class. The success of these suggestions depends upon your ability to use your child’s natural desire to get involved in games he finds simple and fun.

A good way to begin is to read aloud a sentence from a book suitable for your child's reading age. Then ask your youngster to repeat the sentence back to you correctly. Next, reread the sentence, leaving out a particular word. See if your child can identify the word you left out. At the beginning use only simple sentences. Gradually, increase the length of the sentences. Make sure you don’t rush things along too quickly, or your child may become discouraged and tired of the game.

Take your child shopping with you often. He’s to remember a list of items you want to buy in the supermarket. First, ask him to remember only a few things. Then, as he shows increased ability to remember, make the list longer and longer. Praise him often and warmly when he shows increased ability to remember things. He'll become proud of his ‘good’ memory and will happily play the game.

Encourage your child to learn easy and short poems. As his ability to do this becomes stronger, encourage him to remember longer poems. Do the same with songs.

2.The purpose of asking your child to repeat what you say is __.

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.  

There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.

  Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided(避免).

  We should keep away from(远离) all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

1.________ are formed little by little.

A.Good habits

B.Bad habits

C.Both good habits and bad habits

D.Either good habits or bad habits

2.The underlined word "them" in the first paragraph refers to ________.

A.bad habits

B.good habits

D.other persons

3.Generally speaking, it's difficult for one _____ and easy for them _____which should be avoided.

A.to form bad habits; to form good habits

B.to form good habits; to form bad habits

C.to form such habits as will be good; to get rid of bad habits

D.to get rid of bad habits; to form good habits

4.Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?

A.Because habits are of great help to every one of us.

B.Because a man can never get rid of a habit.

C.Because it's hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.

D.Because we are forced to do them again and again.
