17.Michael Jordon is the greatest basketball player of all time.Once he was making a television commercial (廣告).All Michael needed to do in the advertisement was to miss a shot.
For Michael,this was difficult.He had conditioned himself to succeed whenever he was throwing the ball.Every time he threw a basketball,it went in.Every time he tried to miss a shot,he failed.In total,it took him over 20 attempts (嘗試) before he missed a shot.
For Michael,success is a strong habit.He had formed a habit that was so strong that it took him a lot of time to break it and"fail".?
Just like drinking,smoking and collecting things,success is also a habit.The only thing is,it is much more effective!
Like all habits,once it is established (建立),it is difficult to break.?
Many people think that success is difficult to maintain (維持).They feel that it will be hard work and will need too much action and focus.The truth is that it is simply a habit,and as easy to maintain as any other habit.
Spend some time making success a habit in your life.Once you have developed it,it is not something you will want to change again.Then,the only thing you will fail at is failing.
13.Why did Jordan attempt 20 times before he missed a shot in the advertisement?D
A.Because he didn't work hard enough.
B.Because he was not careful enough.
C.Because he was too tired.
D.Because success was a strong habit for him.

A.They think it is easy to maintain.
B.They think it needs too much action and focus.

12.I hated dinner parties.But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London.And my friend Mallery invited me.And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York.There,"I'm having a dinner party"means:"I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly,no matter what you eat."Worse,in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives.They'll throw down cash,half of what they owe,and then people like me,who don't drink,end up paying even more.But if I try to use the same trick,the hostess will shout:"Where are you going?"And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go:everyone know I have nowhere to go.
   But in London,dinner parties are in people's homes.Not only that,the guests are an interesting mix.The last time I went to one,the guests were from France,India.Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York.The mix is less striking.It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's,a well-known department store.
   For New Yorkers,talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.But at Mallery's,when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently,people knew where it was.In New York people would think it was a usual new club.
5.What does the word"shot"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?B
A.Choice.       
B.Try         
C.Style.       
D.Goal
6.What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?C
A There is a strange mix of people.
B.The restaurants are expensive.
C.The bill is not fairly shared.
D.People have to pay cash
7.What does the author think of the parties in London?D
A.A bit unusual         
B.Full of tricks.
C.Less costly.
D.More interesting.
8.What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?B

9.Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue,but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.(36)B
Try the following steps:
Calm yourself.(37)F You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.(38)G Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.
(39)D If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself.(40)E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.

A.Why should you forgive?
B.How should you start to forgive?
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away,try a simple stress-management technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.

The wife continued to read(43)Ashe had read all three pages to her husband.
