success belongs to those who are willing to go after it. success belongs to those who are willing to look fear in the face, eyeball to eyeball, and then do what they have to do. success belongs to those who realize that there is something more important than their fear.“desire is the key to motivation.” desire is the longing to achieve a vision; without desire you have nothing. if youve lost your vision, or if your desire is not strong, work to clarify your vision, use pictures, write the vision down. habakkuk said, “write the vision, and make it plain, ” before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, it must be clear, it must be exciting.“seventy percent of success in life is showing up.” you cant get your dream job, if youre scared to turn in an application. you wont get the sale, if you dont try. showing up doesnt guarantee success, but rest assured if you dont show up, you wont succeed. when it comes to your dreams, and the things you desire to achieve in this life, you have to show up.thomas j. watson said, “would you like me to give you a formula（公式）for success? its quite simple, really. double your rate of failure. you are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. but it isnt at all. you can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. make all you can. because remember thats where you will find success.” never fear failure, it is failure that will bring you success. embrace failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.success is not about doing what the average person cant do, its about doing what the average person is unwilling to do. and on a deeper level, its about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to create. its the habit of doing things with excellence that cause success. success is the enjoyment of the journey. you have to enjoy the journey!someone once said, “unless you change how you are, you will always have what youve got.” you have to changeyou will change, you will succeed.11. if you want to succeed, you should _.a. make efforts to achieve itb. be a special personc. face it with feard. do everything important12. whats habakkuks opinion?a. we should make our aims common.b. we should set up a clear target.c. we should have motivation.d. desire is the key to motivation. 13. the main idea of the third paragraph is that _. a. success needs showing upb. 70% of people can succeedc. you should show your hoped. you should fight for success14. thomas j. watson encourages us to _.a. retire from failure b. escape from failurec. make double mistakesd. grow from failure15. which is the best title of the passage? _.a. success and failure b. keys to successc. several critical steps to success d. importance of success【参考答案】1115、abadc 阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项。in todays throwaway society，dealing with the citys growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council(市议会)recently, edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of(处理)about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green mannerlargely through encouraging recyclingits aging facilities such as the powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.the european union(eu) has issued a new policy，regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of.the five councils (edinburgh，east lothian, west lothian，midlothian and borders) face fines around 18 million a year from 2013 if they dont increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill.with this in mind，the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂)to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.but this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new uk government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the citys waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.after the plan was abandoned，a private company which already transported millions of tons of the citys waste by train to a landfill site near dunbar，offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near portobello.since powderhall is supposed to close in 2015，it seemed necessary for the members of the edinburgh council to accept the suggestion.but soon they turned it downafter 700 local objections reached thembecause it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.that still leaves the council with a problem.by 2013，only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill.even if recycling targets are met，there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.due to this，edinburgh and midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.回收利用曾是最绿色的垃圾处理方式。 但是，这种处理方法却不能短时间内满足欧盟对于及时解决废物的政策需求，因此，在回收利用的同时，他们还是得重建一所大型的垃圾焚烧厂。1the main way of handling waste in a green manner in edinburgh is _.arecycling brestori
