precise definition is impossible!is it winning a gold medal at the olympic games or winning wimbledon,or being awarded a nobel prize?what else?i believe personal success could be anything at allit does not have to involve public recognition.who is more successful?a millionaire who is unhappy,or an unnoticed person,who has led a simple,quiet,sincere and happy life?the simplest definition of success,i think,is to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it.the first step on the road to success starts with belief.believe you can succeed and you will.achieving success in whatever endeavor（努力）you choose may be the goal of life;because it gives you freedom from worry.could that be?success means different things to every one of us.some people believe it is measured in financial terms,others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves.however,most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition.how many people are really happy?how many people are really doing what they want to with their lives?incidentally,the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.most important of all,i believe success is a matter of personal growth.if every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter,i believe one is successful.just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. ive got a very long way to go then!finally,always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination.its the journey that really matters.success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.21what is personal success according to the author?a. winning public recognition.b. being an unhappy millionaire.c. something impossible to define simply.d. succeeding in doing what you want.22which plays an important role in your success?a. intelligence. b. confidence.c. wealth. d. kindness.23according to the text,humans are different from animals in .a. belief b. freedomc.

lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. the curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.her mother ruby turned around and, seeing ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. twenty percent of ammies body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. there, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of ammies body, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. over the next 16 years, ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.when she started school at maxwelton primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldnt play with her. “i was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”today, aged 17, ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. she still has to have two further skin transplants. yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burn s victims.she is a member of the scottish burned childrens club, a charity set up last year. this month, ammie will be joining the younger children at the graffham water center in cambridge shire for the charitys first summer camp. “i ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “i do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “i gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”25what did other children do when ammie first went to school?a. they were friendly to her. b. they showed sympathy to her.c. they were afraid of her. d. they looked down upon her.26ammie will teach the younger children at the graffham water center to_.a. face others unkindness bravely b. hide their scars by proper dressingc. live a normal life d. recover quickly27what does the underlined word “permanent” in the 4th paragraph mean?a. necessary b. life-longc. difficult d. important28what can be the best title of the passage?a. a seriously burned girl survivesb. ways to get rid of unkind staresc. permanent scars and pain for a girld. a seriously burned angel of hopewhen i was about 10, i was walking down the street with my mother. she stopped to speak to mrlee. i knew i could see mr lee anytime around the neighborhood, so i just stood there. after wepassed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, you let that be the last time you everwalk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. that sentence sounds simple but it made me become who i am.at work, i used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business wasdoing. but i also spoke to the people in the cafe? and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked themhow their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no mater how humble(卑微的)they are. i remember that after a few years of passing by the president, i had the courage to ask him fora chat. we had a great talk. at some point, when i asked him how far he thought i could go in his company, he said that if i wanted to, i could get all the way to his seat.ive become vice president, but that hasnt changed how i treat people. i speak to people wherever i am. speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. the day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.29what is the best title of this passage?a. the power of being talkativeb. my mothers influence on mec. the power of saying hellod. my way to become vice-president30what can we learn from the second paragraph?a. the writer didnt say hello to everyone in the company.b. the

help people work much bettermany thousands of chinese are studying at schools in the united states. and writer liel leibovitz says the students are following an example that began in the eighteen seventies.mr. leibovitz and writer matthew miller joined forces to tell the story of the students in their book, “fortunate sons.” the book says china sent one hundred and twenty boys from 1872 to 1875 to america to learn about developments that could help modernize their country.mr. leibovitz got the idea for the book about the boys a few years ago when he was traveling with his wife in china.mr. leibovitz learned that qing government sent a whole delegation (代表团) of boys to learn the ways of the west. the goal was for them to return to china and help their country.the book says the boys received their american training in massachusetts, new york, new jersey and connecticut. it must have been a very good education. mr. leibovitz says the first prime minister of the chinese republic completed this program. and so did the first engineer to build a large-scale railroad without foreign help. the same was true of the fathers of chinese education, diplomacy and the navy.the book-writers had only to open some boxes containing the writings of these men to learn about them. their notebooks, journals, letters and postcards were in english. mr. leibovitz said he was lucky to have so much information from events that took place long ago.the students returned to china after about nine years. they no longer spoke mandarin (国语) well enough to answer questions. police welcomed them home by putting them in jail. the young men were released after about a week. but they were given low-level jobs.mr leibovitz says it took about ten years for them to rise to higher positions. he said their story continues today with large numbers of chinese studying in the united states.33how many exchange children did qing government send to america?a. 1872. b. 1875.c. 120. d. 210.34qing
