Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control hard to find just when you want it most. ________ But there are ways to increase your willpower.

Don’t try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Set one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don’t spread yourself too thin. ________

Whatever your goal is, don’t spread it overnight. ________ If you are trying to kick a coffee habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements. These successes help your willpower grow.

________ Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have risen, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.

While you are online there are plenty of perfectly legal sites where you can listen to music for free. This gives you the chance to listen to music before buying it, discover new music, and create great online playlists that you can share with others.

The Sixty One

The Sixty One is devoted to showcasing obscure or unknown artists of all genres. There’s a range of musical styles from classical to rock and roll, folk to jazz, and everything in between. Don’t expect to find big name musicians on here; you’re more likely to find the musicians playing at local coffee shops than bands you hear on the radio. You can find fantastic music that you never would have heard of otherwise.

Pow Wow

Pow Wows are the Native American people’s way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. This is a time method to renew Native American culture and preserve the rich heritage of American Indians. PowWows.com has 2 online radio stations that play Native American Music 24/7 free! Here you can listen to your favorite artists and drum groups on your computer or mobile device and add your music to our station.

Playlist

Playlist has an enormous library, so you can create playlists with almost any musician you can think of. They have both some lesser known artists and big names, so you have a really good selection. The worst part: Due to licensing laws, many of the songs on Playlist are now restricted to certain countries. So unless you live inside the US, it is likely that you might not be able to find all of your favorite songs.

Pandora

Pandora is an intelligent Internet radio site. Basically, as you listen, you can give each song a thumbs up or thumbs down. You can create your own radio station that only plays music you like.The best part: It listens to your opinion, so that after a while it’s only playing music you like, but the list is always changing and expanding.

My Space

Combine a major social networking site with thousands of artists around the world. Each musician has their own page, which normally has a playlist of several of their songs. But it has a huge range of musicians ranging from huge stars to the up-and-coming, and you can listen to the music and interact with the rest of the page.

Philip Pullman spent a great deal of his childhood traveling abroad because both his father and stepfather were pilots in the Royal Air Force(皇家空軍). As a child, he went on several long ocean voyages, and he lived in Africa and in Australia. “Before I was 11 I had been to eight different schools.”

“In Australia, I made a great discovery. TV hadn’t reached Australia yet, but everyone listened to the radio. I remember listening to gangster serials(黑幫劇), and cowboy serials, and best of all—Superman! When I first saw a superman comic(連環(huán)漫畫), it changed my life. I’d been reading books for a long time, but I’d never known comics before. Soon afterwards, I discovered Batman, too, whom I loved even more.”

Pullman started writing his first novel the day after he had finished his final exams at Oxford University. “I discovered after about an hour that it was much harder than I’d expected. It still is! I found that the amount I could write comfortably every day was about three pages, so that’s what I’ve done ever since.”

Before he became a full-time writer, Pullman had been teaching for many years. “What I enjoyed most during that time was telling stories over and over, until I knew them as well as I knew my own life.” He had always loved telling stories—as a schoolboy he had entertained his friends by reading stories to them, or by making up his own.

One day he got a letter that had arrived at his door even though the writer of the letter didn’t know his address. The envelope(信封) just said, “Philip Pullman, The Storyteller, Oxford.”

1.What can we learn about Pullman?

A. He was a pilot in the Royal Air Force.

B. He went to eight different schools in Africa.

C. He was encouraged to write by his father and stepfather.

D. He traveled a lot when he was a young child.

2.The discovery mentioned in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A. the fact that there was no TV in Australia

B. a Superman comic

C. the popularity of cowboy serials

D. the fact that everyone listened to the radio

3.Receiving the letter, Pullman might feel very ______.

A. happyB. angryC. calmD. worried

4.What is mainly described in the text?

A. Pullman’s life at Oxford.

B. Why Pullman chose to be a teacher.

C. How Pullman grew into a storyteller.

D. Pullman’s childhood.
