一阅读理解
A
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family , and others believe that success mostly es down to luck . I’m not going to say luck , talent , and circumstances do n’t e into play because they do . Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence , and that’s just the reality of how life is .
However,to succeed in life , one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical . And in addition to that , in order to get really good at something , one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising . To bee great at a certain thing , it’ll require even more time , time that most people won’t put it .
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love . If you don’t enjoy what you do , it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit quickly before you ever bee good at it .
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved
great success , you know that they put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost . It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent , but thinking that way does you no good , and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway .
Whatever you do , if you want to bee great at it , you need to work day in and day out , almost to the point of addiction , and over a long period of time . If you’re not willing to put in the time and work , don’t expect to receive any rewards . Consistent , hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want , but it will guarantee that you will bee really good at whatever it is you put all that work into .
1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _________________.
A . the meaning of success
B . the importance of success

_____________ .
A . work makes one feel pain
B . it takes lots of time to
succeed

D . one tends to enjoy his
work

“ People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘ time poor ‘ than ever before , ” says Patsy , “ Manners have fallen off the radar (雷达) .”Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment , it is a wonder that more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a plaint about the noise . Here are some examples of rudeness .
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet . To them ,
dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward . It feels very slow because human don’t work at 4G speeds . When you have dinner with friends , you will often notice someone paying attention to his mobile phone . We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news , so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with . What is worse , some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude message by email .
However , rudeness is never acceptable . Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you . If you have something awful to say , have the courage to face the person and say it , write a letter or email and sign it , or forget it . Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting .
We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortings . Technology is here to help us , but we should not allow it to take over our lives . An important step is acknowledging our shortings . People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them .
5.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 ?
A. People can tell good from bad behavior.
B. Radar is able to observe human behavior.
C. People care little about their behavior.
D. Radar can be used to predict human behavior.
6.Some people are less willing to deal with human because _____________ .
A. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward
B. they are growing too independent
C. they are being less patient
D. they have to handle many important messages
7. The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is _____________ .
A.ridiculous
B. acceptable
C.reasonable
D. disgusting
8.What can we learn from the last paragraph ?
A. We should keep pointing out mistakes .
B. We should applaud good behavior
C. Technology can never be blamed
D. Technology will
take over our lives one life
C
Planning a visiting to the UK ? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events , concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of acmodation and make it harder to find a room . A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton edy Festival (19 Oct.) cost $220 at Booking . A week later , the same room just cost $170 .
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid --- or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time --- check out sites such as Whatsonwhen , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city , date and category .
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train , you may want to find a good base close to the station , but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday .
Don’t be too choosy about the part of the town you stay in . Booking
two month in advance , the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22September was $ 95.95 . A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was $75.75 . And at Farringdon , a double room cost just $62.95 .
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotel in cities such as London , Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune , especially at weekends and during big events . As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen . Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre building . A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile , available for $420 for five days in late September , with room for four adults .
GET ON A BIKE London’s Boris bikes’have attracted the most attention , but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace , saving you on public transport or car parking costs .
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle ( casual member pay around $1.5 for two hours ) and Cardiff ( free for up to 30 minutes , or $5 per day ).

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella . But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet . That’s why he created Lampbrella , a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella .
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia . “ Once , I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain . I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy ( 伞篷 ) built into a street lamp , ”he said .
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy . It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand . Sensors ( 传感器 ) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining .
In addition to the rain sensor , there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects(探测)whether anyone is using
the Lampbrella . After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed .
According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed , so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians . Besides , it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike . Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people . Being installed （安装）at 2 meters off the ground , it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians .
While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production , Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department , and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter .
13. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella ?
A . To predict a heavy rain
B . To protect people from the rain
C . To check the weather forecast
D . To remind people to take an umbrella
14 . What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella ?
A . Its safety
B . Its installation
C . Its appearance
D . Its moving speed
15 . What can be inferred from the last paragraph ?
A . The designer will open a pany to promote his product .
B . The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production .
C . The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow
D . The designer is confident that his creation is practical

Kids’ health: Four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time . _____16______ Some ways of dealing with stress ---like screaming or hitting someone --- don’t solve much .

care about you . Talk to a trusted adult , such as a parent or other relatives . _____17_______ They might have had similar problems , such as dealing with a test , or the death of a beloved pet .
