Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher（卖肉者）, and hes going to give you your lunch today.”Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butchers shop.

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 cant 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 dont 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.63. According to the passage, to be successful, _.A. you should set up a realistic goal B. you should know your strengths and weaknessesC. you shouldnt waste timeD. you shouldnt blame others for your failure64. Which is NOT the key to success that successful people share?A. Taking responsibility for their life.B. Never giving up easily.C. Controlling things in life.D. Having a goal in life.65. The underlined word “spur” in paragraph 4 probably means “_”.A. interestB. equip C. inspireD. depend66. The authors purpose in writing this passage is to _.A. share the key to success with readers B. explain the exact meaning of successC. tell his experience of achieving success D. encourage readers to learn from failureDJunelle Lynch knocked on more than 200 doors in the Gayln Manor neighborhood of Brunswick in recent weeks.

Thats why,
