Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be successful.Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be clear, and it must also be exciting.Show up. 70% of success in life is showing up. You cant have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You cant get your dream job, if youre afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesnt guarantee（保证）success, but if you dont show up, you wont succeed.Fail. Unless youre willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success wont happen. To have success you have to do things in the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula（公式）for success is to double your failure（失败）. So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person cant do. Its about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, its about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. Its the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination（终点）. Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. 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 change and you will succeed.（1）Which is NOT mentioned in achieving success? A . Working hard.B . Good education.C . Strong desire.D . Enjoying failure.（2）What does the writer suggest by saying Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.? A . Its not easy for people to care for their health.B . You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.C . Keeping working harder is necessary for success.D . Most people dont want to spend too much time running.（3）What can we know from the paragraph 4? A . Failure is the mother of success.B . Many hands make light work.C . Every dog has its day.D . Actions speak louder than words.（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A . The Importance of Success.B . The Meaning of Success.C . The Secret of Success.D . The Steps to Success.3. （10分） Mr. Brown was going away for a week.

Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be a good idea for those very smart students, it can have terrible results for many students because they are not talented enough.As it is reported, a number of students killed themselves. Others try to get the feelings of taking drugs(毒品). Some join the groups of troublemakers and turn to crime(犯罪). Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hopes. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer.It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any ways .Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and it is the teachers work to help their children. To make matter worse, a lot of parents send their children to those school opening in the evenings and on weekends they only help students to pass exams and never teach students any real sense of the world. It is a great surprise that almost three quarters of middle school students have been to such kind of schools. Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students hair to their clothes and the things in their bags. Child psychologists (儿童心理学家)now think that such strict rules are harmful (有害的)to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, how to show love for others, even for their parents.（1）Why do the Japanese student feel unhappy? A . Because they dont work hard enough.B . Because their parents give them little pressure.C . Because they cant do well in their schoolwork.D .

A . Because they like to do that.B . Because they thought their parents didnt love them any more.C . Because they thought everyone hated them.D . Both B and C .（4）Who do the parents think should help the kids when they cant do well in school work? A . Teachers.B . Parents.C . Someone else.D . Their classmates.（5）What do child psychologists think is harmful to the feelings of children? A . Schools have too much rules about everything.B . The parents dont help their children.C . Children cant do well in their school work.D . Parents send their children to all kinds of school which are opening on weekends.5. （8分） Happiness is for everyone. You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(向挑战)yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.（1）When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will_.A . laugh at youB . play jokes on youC . quarrel with youD . help you up（2）What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?A . Oh, so do IB . Congratulations.C . Good luckD . Its just so-so.（3）Which idea is NOT right according to the passage?A . People who have cars would never like to walk in the open airB . You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C . You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D . Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.（4）Which of the following is this passage about?A . Bad luckB . Good luckC . HappinessD .
