Here I am going to tell you the key to success that successful people share.First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to move ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cant control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. At the same time, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life.Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose” - they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to deal with things around them. They hold the view that when they live their life “on purpose”, their main concern is to do the job right. They live what they do. People want to do business with them because of their commitment. To live their life “on purpose”, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it.Besides, they never give up easily. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. To achievers always bear in mind what they dont have forever. Rather than see this as negative or depressing, they would use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.So keep in mind what successful people always hold to be true so that you will have a clear idea of what you should do to be successful in life.28. Which is NOT the key to success that successful people share?A. Taking responsibility for their lifeB. Having a goal in lifeC. Never giving up easilyD. Controlling things in life29. According to the passage, to be successful, .A. you shouldnt set up a goalB. you should know your strengths and weaknessesC. you shouldnt blame others for your failureD. you shouldnt waste time30. The underlined word “spur” in paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.A. interestB. equipC. dependD. inspire31.

But a growing number of Europeans are travelling abroad for medical treatment to save money, or maybe to combine a visit to the doctor with some sightseeing，creating a potential but fastgrowing market for traditional tour operators.“It was simply cheaper for me to go to a dentist in Hungary, ” said a 42yearold physical therapist from Berlin. He chose the clinic near Budapest from an Internet advertisement, attracted by hundreds of euros in savings compared with the same treatment in Germany. He was happy to find when he got there that the clinic was clean, the staff qualified and the work thorough.People travel abroad for medical treatment for various reasons: its cheaper, they face a long wait at home, or the treatment they want is not available in their own country. The Britishbased Medical Tourist Company refers about 100 patients a year to hospitals in India for treatments. And Chief Executive Premhar Shah reports rapid growth in demand from customers in Africa, where it can be harder to find wellequipped medical facilities for complex surgeries.Some patients who have immigrated may prefer to return to be close to their families when they undergo surgery. “People will want to take the opportunity to seek treatment in places where they have relatives who might be able to look after them. Im seeing that especially with younger people from eastern Europe,” said a professor at the University of Oxford.For some, there is the attraction of free treatment abroad. British lawmakers have called for tighter checks on patients arriving for treatment, out of concerns that foreign citizens are travelling to Britain to take advantage of the free service.The global medical tourism market is believed to be worth $40 billion to $60 billion and growing at about 20 percent per year.32The 42yearold physical therapist was satisfied with in Hungary.Athe price instead of the service Bthe service instead of the priceCboth the price and the service Dneither the price nor the service33According to the article, it can be inferred that for medical treatment.Amore Africans want to travel abroadBmore Europeans want to travel to AfricaCmore Britons want to travel to IndiaDno one would come to Great Britain34Young people from eastern Europe return to their mother countries for surgery in order to .Aget cheaper medical serviceBbe looked after by relativesChave better medical treatmentDenjoy free medical treatment35What does the article mainly talk about?AOverseas sightseeing.BHospital treatment.CMedical tourism.DTravelers health problems.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（其中两项为多余选项）Advice About Stress: Dont Let It Ruin Your Life!There are many reasons why people suffer from stress.
