almost everything we do has many stages to completion and in many situations， you dont actually create value until you finish the last stage farmers cant sell their grain until it is harvested automakers cant sell cars that have made it 90% of the way through the assembly line（生产线） most employers arent going to pay you for having a degree unless you finished the last class and graduatednow all those things require starting， but if you have work in progress， the most valuable thing you can do is to pick something and finish it finishing is where you start benefiting from the value youve created ive noticed that many successful people arent the ones who are the smartest or have the best ideas they are often the ones who do the best job of taking an idea and completing it a good idea fully carried out is better than a great idea that never gets completeddoes this mean you need to finish everything you start？ not necessarily， but if you dont think something is worth finishing， be honest with yourself and terminate the project dont leave hundreds of half finished efforts lying around physically or mentally acting like you are going to come back and pick them up if you need to drop something ， do so strategically and intentionally if youve put significant effort into a project， you may still benefit from finishing it even if you wouldnt start it again based on changed circumstances for example， if you are in your last few months before graduating from college and realize you dont want to career in what you are majoring in， you probably should go ahead and graduate because there is significant value in having the degree-even if you dont intend to actually work in that fieldwhat projects do you have that are currently in progress？ can you find something and finish it？24why do many people become successful according to the author？ _athey are the smartestbthey have the best ideascthey start things smoothlydthey make ideas fully completed25what does the underlined word terminate in paragraph 3 mean？ _adevelopbendcplandsupport26according to the author， which of the following is the correct way of creating value？ _aa man decides to finish all he starts to dobfarmers hurry to sell their crops before they are ripeca college student chooses to study until he gets his degreeda student keeps a half-filled stamp album around for future use27what is the best title for the text？ _afinishing vs startingbwell begun is half donecplanning vs performingdit is easier said than donec as a young boy, i knew what people said was not always what they meant or were feeling. and i knew it was possible to get others to do what i wanted if i read their real feelings and responded(回应) suitably to their needs. at the age of eleven, i sold sponge rubber(泡沫橡胶) door-to-door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me. when i knocked on a door, if someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they showed their palms (the inside surfaces of their hands), i knew it was safe to continue with my presentation(展示) because they werent angry or threatening although they may have a dismissive(不屑的) attitude. if someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand, i knew it was time to leave.as a teenager, i became a pots and pans(炊具) salesperson, and my ability to read people earned me enough money to buy my first house. selling gave me the chance to meet people and study them close and to know whether they would buy or not, simply by watching their body language.i joined the life insurance business at the age of twenty. and i went on to break several sales records for my company, becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars worth of business in my first year. this achievement allowed me to become a member of the well-known million dollar round table (mdrt, which recognizes the worlds top achievers in life insurance). i was lucky that the skills id learned as a boy in watching body language while selling pots and pans could be used in this new area, and were directly related to the success i could have in any business closely connected with people.28which of the following meant the author must go away?aa customers soft voice.ba customers pointed finger.ca customers open palms.da customers dismissive expression.29what is the “new area” mentioned in the last paragraph?athe study of selling products.bthe life insurance business.cthe pots and pans industry.dthe work for the mdrt.30what was the key to the authors success?alistening to customers words.bunderstanding customers habits.ctrying to satisfy customers needs.dreading customers body language.31how does the text mainly develop?aby following the order of time.bby giving clear explanations.cby giving well-known examples.dby following the order of importance.d bob dylan, the 75-year-old rock legend received the nobel prize for having created new poetic expressions within the great american song tradition. sara danius, permanent secretary of the swedish academy, said dylan had been chosen because he was a great poet in the english speaking tradition.dylan, born on may 24, 1941 is an american songwriter, singer, artist, and writer. he has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s. early songs such as tangled up in blue, blowing in the wing and the times are a-changing became anthems（颂歌）for the american civil fights and anti-war movements. leaving behind his initial base in the american folk music revival（复兴）, his six-minute single like a rolling stone, recorded in 1965, enlarged the range of popular music.dylans lyrics（歌词）include a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary features. his recording career, spanning more than 50 years, has explored the traditions in american song-from folk, blues, and country to rock and roll, and rockabilly to english, scottish, and irish folk music, embracing even jazz and the great american songbook. dylan performs with guitar, keyboards, and harmonica. backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the never ending tour. his accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.since 1994, dylan has published six books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. as a musician, dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. he has also received numerous awards including eleven grammy awards, a golden globe award, and an academy award. in may 2012, dylan received the presidential medal of freedom from president obama.32why was bob dylan awarded the nobel prize?abecause he invented many music expressions.bbecause his lyrics in his songs rhymed like poems.cbecause his works had the characteristics of rock.dbecause he changed the english speaking tradition.33which of dylans works expended the area of popular music?alike a rolling stonebblowing in the windctangled up in bluedthe times are a-changing34according to the passage, bob dylan can be best described as _.aknowledgeable and generousbtalented and socially responsiblecthoughtful and warm-hearteddhard-working and ambitious35what is considered to be dylans greatest contribution in his career?acomposing poems.bgiving performances.cmaking records.dwriting
