摘要： According to the passage . A. successful people are always rich B. successful people have no weaknesses. C. it seems successful people usually share the same strengths . D. successful people are quite similar to average people. B Marie Vaz and her puppy walked down the hall of the nursing home and stopped in the doorway of a small room. Inside sat an old lady with a care attendant at her side. “Would she like to see me and my puppy? Marie decided to try anyway. In 10 years of helping with animal-assisted therapy , she’d seen even the sickest patients enjoy a visit from a furry friend. Marie carried the puppy over to the old lady. The woman reached out towards the dog! Full of excitement, she began smiling and trying to talk. The attendant watched in amazement. This woman had never communicated with anyone. It was like she wasn’t even alive-----until the puppy came to visit. Around the world sick adults and children fill lonely hospital rooms. They may have an illness or need long-term care. A puppy’s friendly eyes and warm paws may be just what the doctor ordered to encourage them and help them heal. HOW AAT WORKS The sick and the old don’t always get the love and attention they need. They may not look good. And they may feel angry or depressed because they have to stay in a hospital. “But the puppies love them, says Lea Mitchem, an AAT volunteer for more than 13 years. The soft fur of a dog feels safe and enjoyable. Through monthly visit, therapy dogs put smiles on patients’ face and help them improve their health. The dogs encourage patients to do their exercises and communicate with those around them. AAT volunteers spend one or two hours a month visiting the same hospital or nursing home. Some dogs are specially trained to work with physical patients. These dogs become part of an exercise program. Simply brushing a dog or throwing a ball to it can help patients gain strength and practice movements. A DOG IN A HOSPITAL How can a “dirty dog come into a clean hospital? Before dogs see patients, the dogs must see a doctor themselves. The doctor checks each animal. It must be healthy, clean and enjoy meeting strangers. Many AAT programs also require the dog and the owner to attend special training classes. More and more doctors now understand the benefits of AAT. Research shows that being with the animal lowers a patient’s blood pressure, heart rate and stress level. Patients will relax and feel better. AAT COMES TO ASIA For more than 25 years, organizations in North America have been using dogs to treat people. Now people in Asia are benefiting from the dogs’ “medicine , too. Dr. Dog is an ATT program that began in Hong Kong. Over 200 dogs visit more than 50 medical facilities in that city alone. And the project has spread to Mainland China and the Philippines. Around the world AAT dogs are making a difference. Whether they meet physical or emotional needs, they’re helping people heal. And that’s what “Dr. Dog is all about.

How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations show that there are several keys to success that successful people share.
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose”—they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important fact that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do —and it shows people want to do business with them because of their devotion to their jobs. To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always keep in mind what they don’t have forever. Rather than seeing it negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to encourage themselves to move on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
67. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. How do people make plans?                 B. How do people do business?
C. How do people live their life on purpose?      D. How can people be successful?
68. By living life “on purpose ”successful people can ________
A. concentrate on their jobs
B. do business with many people easily.
C. do a lot of work without using more money.
D. share what they have with every one unselfishly.
69.The pronoun “it” (Line 10.Para.2) refers to _____
A. the job that successful people do
B. the main concern of successful people
C. the devotion with which successful people do their job
D. the business that successful people do with other people.

In modern society, receiving systematic college education seems a necessary way for success as a graduate from first-class university may always get more opportunities than others. However, if it is gold, it will shine one day. In this article, we will get to know three most successful people in U.S. who never finished their college education. Following experiences of these successful dropouts may give you some inspiration.
1. Bill Gates
Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful dropout,” while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the world’s richest man” for more than a decade. Now, even not on the top, he is still among the list of the world’s wealthiest people.Gates entered Harvard in the fall of 1973. Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.
2. Steve Jobs
The iPad, even Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t have existed if Steve Jobs stayed in school. Because his family couldn’t afford his college education, Jobs had to drop out of Reed College just after entering for 6 months. Then he found Apple, NeXT Computer and Pixar, which had made great influences on development of modern technique and culture. However, this wizard thought that his brief college education was not worthless.
3. Frank Lloyd Wright
As the America’s most celebrated architect, Wright spent more time on designing colleges rather than attending classes in them. Once spent one year in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then he left for Chicago and started to learn from Louis Sullivan, the “father of modernism." Wright’ s splendid resume included more than 500 works, most famous of which are Fallingwater and New York City's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
