Success starts within our mind. Now, we will discuss four steps to change our lives and create a new future.
   ■ 1. Think big. Get rid of negative(負(fù)面的)beliefs.
     Your beliefs have developed from what happened to you in the past. You should realize that the past is not equal to the future, unless you really live there. The first thing you need to do is to drive all the negative beliefs away from your mind. Those beliefs are not useful for creating a new future. Think that everything is possible if you put enough effort in it. When you change your beliefs into positive ones, you will feel more powerful. You will then be able to move on to the next level.
   ■ 2. Write your plan to achieve your goals.
     Your great goals should be divided into smaller goals. Make a timetable for each goal so that you can measure your progress. Write a detailed plan to achieve these goals.
   ■ 3.Take action according to your plan.
     Nothing bears fruit without action. Every successful person has to work hard towards his or her goals. There is no exception(例外). Be prepared to work according to your plan. Be willing to invest (投資) in the resources necessary for your progress. Do not give up.
   ■ 4. Review what you have done and know how good you are.
     While you are in the process of your work, take some time to review how well you have done. Review your progress based on your plan and see if you need to change anything. You can change your methods but you should not change your goals.
小題1: Why should we get rid of our negative beliefs?
A．They come from our past experiences.
B．The past and the future are different.
C．They will stop us from starting a new future.
D．We should learn some useful things.
小題2: According to the second step, to achieve your big goals, you should _________.
A．change your methods
B．make full use of every minute
C．divide them into smaller ones and achieve them one by one to time
D．measure your progress from time
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．During your work, be prepared to change everything.
B．If you feel your goal difficult, you’d better give it up.
C．Considering changing the ways you achieve goals is useful.
D．Reviewing is more important than setting goals.
小題4: Which of the following has the same meaning as "Nothing bears fruit without action."?
A．No pain, no gain.
B．Better early than late.
C．He laughs last who laughs best.
D．Nothing succeeds like success.
小題5:What’s the best title for the passage?
A．How to Live a Happy Life
B．Ways to Create Your New Future
C．How to Change Yourself
D．Nothing Bears Fruit Without Action

小題1:C
小題2:C
小題3:C
小題4:A
小題5:B

試題分析：本文主要討論的就是創(chuàng)造出嶄新的未來的新的方法和途徑。
小題1:C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段3,4行Those beliefs are not useful for creating a new future.說明這些消極的思想對我們創(chuàng)造新的未來沒有好處，只會阻礙我們的發(fā)展，故C正確。
小題2:C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)本部分的Your great goals should be divided into smaller goals. Make a timetable for each goal so that you can measure your progress.說明我們要把自己的大的目標(biāo)分解成很多的小的目標(biāo)，便于我們各個擊破。故C正確。
小題3:C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后2行Review your progress based on your plan and see if you need to change anything. You can change your methods but you should not change your goals.說明我們要考慮我們所采用的不同的方式方法，這一點對于我們實現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)是非常重要的。
小題4:A 推理題。根據(jù)Take action according to your plan.和 Nothing bears fruit without action.可知本部分的主題就是要采取行動，而不是空談。故選項中的A項符合上下文。
小題5:B 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章主題段第一段內(nèi)容Success starts within our mind. Now, we will discuss four steps to change our lives and create a new future.可知本文主要討論的就是創(chuàng)造出嶄新的未來的新的方法和途徑。故B正確。

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓約) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空閑), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
小題1:The best title of this passage probably is________.
A．Love your friends B．Live a real life
C．Don't waste time D．Be a good mother and wife
小題2:The underlined sentence "It is so easy to exist instead of to live" in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as________.
A．it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life
B．it is very hard to live a real life
C．it is so easy to make a living
D．it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life
小題3:What's the author's attitude toward work?
A．Do it well to serve others.
B．To earn enough money to make life better.
C．Try your best to get higher position and pay.
D．Don't let it affect your real life.
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that_________.
A．the author is a success in personal life
B．the author didn't try her best to work well
C．the author spent all her time caring for her children
D．the author likes traveling very much

I’m trying to be a writer, but I can’t even start. What should I do?
Abraham, Nebraska
There are many ways to come up with ideas, one of which is to write down a list of your experiences, as well as things from your imagination. When you want to write, look in the notebook for ideas.
Books for writers often have good suggestions, too. One we like is Spilling Ink: A Yong Writer’s Handbook by Anne Mazer and Ellen Potter. Perhaps your library has it.
My classmates keep asking about a new movie I’ve seen. But I don’t want to spoil it for them. What should I do?
Corinne (by e-mail)
You could ask your classmates whether they are sure they want to know and if they insist, go ahead and tell them. You may be able to give them a general idea of the movie without revealing details of the ending.
I’m going to a soccer camp for youth, but I’m not sure if I’m good at soccer or if I’ll make friends.

Sharing a common interest may make conversations easier. Smile, be friendly, and have a sense of humor. Before long, you may find that you’ve made some good friends.
Someone invited me to a birthday party. When I got there, kids were doing stuff I’m not interested in, like watching scary movies. I told them my mom would pick me up, so I just left. Was I rude for doing that?
Sam (by e-mail)
You just did the right thing and that isn’t being rude.

During the years when I was a teacher, I learned a lot of things. Perhaps the most important one was the life-changing  16 of encouraging words.  
I 17 what Leo Buscaglia had done with his students in University of Southern California. In one class Leo Buscaglia and his students had made two lists of 18 , one positive and one negative. Then they  19 the negative words in the trash and tried to use only the  20 words for one month. They were  21 at how much better their lives became just by using words full of  22  .
I decided to try this as well by  23 something good to write on each paper my students  24 . No matter how many mistakes a student’s paper  25 , there was always a  26 sentence, beautiful thought, or a great idea that I could  27 on. I remember glancing over my desk and  28  some of the students reading those encouraging words  29  . It was a joy seeing their eyes shine a little brighter, their  30  sit up a little straighter, and their learning climb a lot  31 .
I recently saw one of my  32  students and we talked for a while. He has got married, and has two children now. As I was saying goodbye, he said, “You know I  33  have a few of those old papers. I look at them from time to time. I just  34  my kids have a good teacher like you.” I was amazed at the  35  those few positive words had on his life.
May your own life be forever full of encouraging words in your ears, from your lips and in your heart.

Chances
I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(職業(yè))．
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early morning with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(資格證書)if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part­time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a full­time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren't top of the class at school.
小題1:What is the author's present job?
A．Working part­time in a college.
B．Helping children with their schoolwork.
C．Looking after children at a kindergarten.
D．Taking care of children for a family.
小題2:When staying with the two girls' family, the author________.
A．was paid for extra work
B．got much help from her boss
C．took a day off every other week
D．often worked long hours
小題3:Why did the author leave her first job?
A．She decided to attend a part­time course.
B．She found a full­time job.
C．She was fed up with children.
D．She needed a rest after working extra hours.
小題4:What has the author learned from her own experiences?
A．Qualifications are necessary for a career.
B．Hard work makes an excellent student.
C．One must choose the job she likes.
D．Less successful students can still have a career.

In Japan, people will often go out to restaurants to treat guests. The reason for this is that Japanese homes are small. If you go out to eat with your workmates, it is a custom to share the bill equally, no matter how much you eat or drink yourself.
Japanese people use chopsticks to eat. But if you eat out, you can ask for a fork or a knife. These words have been adopted(采用) from the English language into Japanese. So if you say “fork” or “knife” to a waiter, he will probably understand you. If you eat in an expensive restaurant, waiters will usually place a hot towel on your table at the end of your meal. You can wipe your face and hands with this towel.
In Japan, you can see some people slurp (出聲地吃) their noodles. It is considered rude in Western restaurants, but is acceptable in Japan. Western people usually blow on hot noodles first and then eat them, while Japanese do the cooling down gesture (姿勢) when they actually eat. Many feel noodles do not taste good if they are cooled with the air. It is also normal to lift the noodle or soup bowl to mouth so that food doesn’t spill.
Eating with chopsticks requires proper manners. Never leave your chopsticks standing upright, especially not on rice. It is a symbol of death, and people will find this impolite if you are not at a funeral (葬禮). Never wave your chopsticks around, nor use them to move dishes around. If you are eating from a common bowl, use the back end of the chopsticks that you have not put in your mouth to dish the food out.
小題1:Japanese people often treat their guests in restaurants because_____.
A．they need to share the bill equally
B．it is a traditional custom in Japan
C．dishes in restaurants are delicious

When Cathleen Gardiner’s twins were born 17 years ago, doctors told her that they were a pair in a million. One had Down syndrome(低能綜合癥), while the other did not. Here, Cathleen tells their touching story.
Since Sean was born 17 years ago, I have always thought that he is just as wonderful as his brother and sister. Though he had a disability(殘疾), we have never viewed him as a burden. He has always been a blessing. The doctors explained that though they were twins, they came from two different eggs. Lisa could walk at 11 months old, while Sean didn’t take his first steps till he was three. By two, Lisa was talking a lot, but Sean wasn’t able to speak until he was nearly four.
For the first five years of his life, Sean needed a great deal of care. Looking after him was my full-time job, though I also worked as a technical adviser in a computing company. We never treated them differently. We gave them the same toys and spoke to them in the same way. We encouraged Sean to keep up with Lisa, even though he never could, and we would help him develop his abilities. We sent them to the same primary school even after doctors advised us that Sean should go to a school for the disabled.
We had to explain to Lisa that he wouldn’t learn as quickly as she would. She told us that she’d help him with his school work. Having a non-disabled twin has really helped Sean develop. The love they share has given him a great deal of support. Now Sean and Lisa are both about to finish high school. I don’t think he would have done nearly as well today without Lisa’s help.
小題1:At least how many children does Mrs. Gardiner have?
A．Two.B．Three. C．Four.D．One.
小題2:Mrs. Gardiner and her husband regarded Sean as _______.
A．a(chǎn) boy making others touchedB．a(chǎn) normal child without disabilities
C．a(chǎn) special giftD．a(chǎn) burden of their family
小題3:The third paragraph mainly tells us that _______.
A．the couple treated the twins equally
B．Cathleen did all she could to look after Sean
C．the couple didn’t follow the doctor’s advice
D．the couple encouraged Sean to grow up
小題4:This passage tells us that _________.
A．love can do wondersB．nobody is foolish or clever
C．being stupid doesn’t matterD．a(chǎn)ll men are born equal
