“They’re all good ideas,” I said as we our lesson. “But which one do we pick?”

At the end of the class, as always, we shared our answers again. Katie had made it on time, and she had seemed distracted (分心) during the lesson. But now she told us, “My family could really get your kindness. My husband still hasn’t found full-time work. We’re falling with the rent. I’ve looked everywhere, but I haven’t been able to find a job.” Katie her face in her hands. I knew how she was and how hard their family had .

“We trust you to meet this family’s needs.” our teacher said.

“Poor Katie,” Kelly said to me we walked out to our cars. “On top of everything else, she told me that one of her little had her bike stolen just the other day!”

“I think I know what our special project should be.” I said.

E-mails flew back and forth among class members. Soon we enough money for Katie’s . Linda and Patti bought a shirt for Katie’s husband and a beautiful new for Katie. Kelly found two as good as new, one for each of their girls. Brenda and Diane groceries (食品雜貨店) for Christmas dinner and beyond. Stephanie decorated stockings (長襪) with treats. Then, on Christmas Eve, we a person from a neighboring town to send her all of the gifts, so that we could remain Secret Santas.

The first class after Christmas, Katie wore her new dress, and a big smile. By then I think she who her Secret Santas were, but if she hadn’t, the smiles we flashed back surely gave us .

Do you want to be a successful person? Would you like to know how successful people usually think and what drives them? Here I am going to tell you the key to success that successful people share.

First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to move ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they can’t control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. At the same time, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life.

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 element that enables them to deal with things around them. They hold the view that when they live their life “on purpose”, their main concern is to do the job right. They live what they do. People want to do business with them because of their commitment. To live their life “on purpose”, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it.

Besides, they never give up easily. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. To achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have forever. Rather than see this as negative or depressing, they would use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.

So keep in mind what successful people always hold to be true so that you will have a clear idea of what you should do to be successful in life.

1.According to the passage, to be successful, ______.

A. you should set up a realistic goal

B. you should know your strengths and weaknesses

C. you shouldn’t blame others for your failure

D. you shouldn’t waste time

2.Which is NOT the key to success that successful people share?

A. Taking responsibility for their life.

B. Never giving up easily.

C. Having a goal in life.

D. Controlling things in life.

3.The underlined word “spur” in paragraph 4 probably means “______”.

A. interest B. equip

C. depend D. inspire

4.The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ______.

A. explain the exact meaning of success

B. share the key to success with readers

C. tell his experience of achieving success

D. encourage readers to learn from failure

Public speaking is a common cause of stress for everyone. The idea of standing in front of a large group with all eyes on you can make you feel fearful in almost all kinds of situation, for example giving a presentation in class, proposing a toast at dinner or making a work-related presentation. It seems to be a fear that’s impossible to overcome. If you have ever experienced this, you know while the anxiety may develop at the actual event, it is a feeling that begins much earlier than the actual day. There are many ways you can work on your confidence and prepare yourself for a public speaking event.

A consultant specializing (專門研究) in presentation skills can help you to overcome your sense of panic. Working with a consultant does not indicate that you have a major problem; it is only an approach to receiving guidance on relaxation strategies, such as deep breathing, which can help you deal with public speaking problems with ease.

Consultants can also help you work on your confidence. Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing. Even well-established public speakers practice techniques such as meditation (沉思冥想) to calm themselves before a public appearance.

It’s well worth the time and effort to overcome the fear of public speaking, particularly if talks and presentations are part of your work description. Keep in mind that many of those around you are also struggling with this fear of public speaking. It will help you to become an able speaker if you can prepare beforehand. For example, you can put in time on planning your presentation in detail and practicing it many times in secret. As you get more and more familiar with your material, you’ll be able to fine-tune (微調(diào)) the details of your presentation and this will make you a confident speaker. Your speech will become excellent in terms of style and content.

Remember that the more you get into this pattern of feeling good about yourself, the stronger you will feel about approaching events when you have to make a speech. You can also work on physical details such as adjusting your tone (音調(diào)) before the presentation by doing some warm-up exercises.

In a word, believing in yourself and presenting yourself well can help you deeply impress your audience. And after a few speeches you’ll notice yourself overcoming the sense of panic that you now feel in public speaking situations.
