power to make those seeds grow. the seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind. success is a choice but not a chance. you can be a success if only you make the right choice. you cannot be successful without first developing your selfesteem(自尊). your level of selfesteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. people with low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. they are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather. you can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible. everything happens as a result of something. if we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. we are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. thoughts and beliefs cause everything. our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. one generally rises to the level that one expects. we are responsible for setting our expectations. our success depends upon our level of confidence. we are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits. if you associate with positivethinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. on the contrary, the opposite happens. we are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing(培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks. in short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success. 1. losers would think that _. a. success is the result of hard workb. working hard will lead to successc. they fail only because of bad luckd. they dont make efforts to succeed2. it can be inferred from paragraph 5 that _. a. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudesb. developing confidence is the key to future successc. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mindd. setting our expectations is essential before taking

he headed off to work. one morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, molly handed him a second paper bag. this one was worn and held together with staples(书钉). “why two bags？”her father asked. “the other is something else，”molly answered. “whats in it？”“just some stuff (东西). take it with you. ”not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both sacks into his briefcase, kissed molly and rushed off. at midday he opened mollys bag and took out the contents: two hair ribbons (丝带), three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies. . . . the busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, mollys stuff included. that evening, molly ran up behind him as he read the paper. “wheres my bag？”“what bag？”“the one i gave you this morning. ”“i left it at the office, my dear. ”“i forgot to put this note in it，”she said. “and, besides, daddy, the things in the sack are the things i really like. i thought you might like to play with them. you didnt lose the bag, did you, daddy？”“oh, no，”he said, lying. “i just forgot to bring it home. ill bring it tomorrow. ”while molly hugged her fathers neck, he unfolded the note that read. “i love you, daddy. ”molly had given him her treasuresall that a 7yearold held dear. love was in a paper bag, and he missed itnot only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket. so he went back to the office. just ahead of the night janitor(看门人)，he picked up the bag from the wastebasket. he put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully. the bag didnt look so good, but the stuff was all there and thats what counted. after dinner, he asked molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. it took a long time to tell. everything had a story or a memory. “sometimes i think of all the great times in this sweet life，”he thought. we should all remember that its not the destination that counts in life, but the journey. that journey with the people we love is all that really matters. it is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten. 5. why did molly give her father a
