and luck 12 21 3 11 47 a small mark None of these words can give one a full mark What about money or prayer 祈祷 They can t either Then what else Don t be worried You can always find an answer to a problem in your life when you change your way of looking at things or doing things or your attitude 态度 Yes attitude is the word See for yourself attitude 1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 100 a full mark Different attitudes lead to different courses of life Most times people hope for a better life It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one s attitude When you change your manner and became friendly towards others you ll meet more smiling faces towards you In the same way if you take a positive 积极地 attitude towards failure 失败 you ll find it s also rewarding though it

best way out is to A ask for help from others B say your prayers to God C change your attitude D try maths solving methods 方法 3 From the passage we can learn that A different attitudes come from different courses of life B mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life C failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude D none of the English words except attitude equals to 100 or more B Have successful people ever felt sad Do they have any secrets to success The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama s back to school speech Here is an excerpt 摘录 from his speech I know that sometimes you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work that your ticket to success is through pop music or basketball or being a TV star when chances are you re not going to be any of those things But the truth is being successful is hard You won t love every subject you study Not all the homework will seem rather important to your life right this minute And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try That s OK Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who ve had the most failures the opposite of success JK Rowling s first 用心 爱心 专心6 Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots 投篮 during his career But he once said I have failed over and over again in my life And that is why I succeed These people succeeded because they understand that you can t let your failures beat 打败 you you have to let them teach you You have to let them show you what to do differently next time No one s born being good at things You become good at things through hard work Don t be afraid to ask questions Don t be afraid to ask for help when you need it I do that every day Asking for help isn t a sign of weakness it s a sign of strength It shows you have the courage to tell when you don t know something and to learn something new And even when you re struggling 奋斗 even when you re discouraged 泄气 and you feel other people have given up on you don t ever give up on yourself Because when you give up on yourself you give up on your country 4 Why does Barack Obama mention 提到 JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the third paragraph A To compare these two famous persons B To explain that the more failures he has the more successful he is C If you want to be successful you should fail first D To show that failure is the mother of success 5 Which of the following statements is NOT true A No one can be successful without working hard B Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way C Those who believe in themselves shouldn t ask others for help D One should try his best to make his dream come true 6 Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined sentence A One shouldn t ask questions because it is a sign of strength B One should believe in himself though he will face much difficulty C One doesn t have to work hard when he has failed several times D One doesn t have to ask for help because it is a sign of weakness C Now there is a new type school in New York which has no everyday lessons no class teachers and even no school buildings It is called City as School The name just means the city itself is
