I started out in life with few advantages. I didn't graduate from high school. I worked at menial (不体面的) jobs. I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.
And then I began asking, "Why are some people more successful than others?" This question changed my life.
Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement(成就). It seems that the reasons have been discussed and written about for more than two thousand years, in every possible way. One quality that most philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of self-discipline (自律). As Al Tomsik summarized it years ago, "Success is tons of discipline."
Some years ago, I attended a conference in Washington. It was the lunch break and I was eating at a nearby food fair. The area was crowded and I sat down at the last open table by myself, even though it was a table for four.
A few minutes later, an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays of food, obviously looking for a place to sit. With plenty of room at my table, I immediately invited the older gentleman to join me. He was hesitant (犹豫), but I insisted. Finally, thanking me as he sat down, we began to chat over lunch.
It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer. As it happened, I immediately knew who he was. He was a legend in the field of success and achievement. Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had obtained from more than fifty years of research and study. I had read all four books from cover to cover, more than once.
After we had chatted for a while, I asked him the question that many people in this situation would ask, "Of all the one thousand success principles that you have discovered, which do you think is the most important?”
He smiled at me, as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied, without hesitating, "The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said, 'Do what you
should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.'"
He went on to say, "There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self-discipline, none of them work."
4. Why did the writer ask the question in Paragraph 2 ?
A. Because he wasn't satisfied with himself.
B. Because he was a person of self-discipline.
C. Because he dislike those successful people.
D. Because he wanted to share his idea on success.
5. What made the writer invite the older gentleman to join him ?
A. His great kindness.
B. The gentleman's fame.
C. His eagerness for success.
D. The gentleman's habit.
6. What are the four large books about ?
A. Personal changes
B. The secret of success
C. Sayings of wisdom
D. The gentleman's manners.
7. What's the best title for the text ?
A. The Magic of Reading
B. An Unexpected Conversation
C. A Question that Changed MyLife
D. The Power of Self-discipline
C
Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are muchcooler. But scientists found that people’s music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.
We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.
The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.
But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&.B, which is usually uplifting
and danceable.
When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.
As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren’t there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.
8. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy?
A. They are actually less cool.
B. They are worth listening to.
C. They are especially serious.
D. They are hard to understand.
9. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life?
A. Two.
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
10. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ________.
A. jazz music
B. country music
C. rock music
D. pop music
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. People Have Different Opinions on Music
B. People Listen to Music for the Same Reason
C. People’s Taste in Music Changes with Time
D. People’s Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music
D
Imagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above. As the car drives, the map follows along in real time, alarming you to any traffic, pedestrians,animals, or other things nearby. Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream. It's like the map has come to life.
This type of map isn't available yet. But it could be soon. In 2014, the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space. Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles（600 km）away, it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches（25cm）across.Peeringall the way from outer space, it can make out a smartphone held in your hand. It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road. But it can't identify your face or read the cars' license plate numbers . . . at least not openly.
According to some reports, this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper images, with a resolution（分辨率）of up to around 4 inches（10cm）. ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public, to prevent enemies from using them. But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible. Live, high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time. Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy. Most satellites are commercially owned, so if you have money you can buy that imagery. “It means anyone can spy on anyone,” he said.
At the same time, live, detailed maps of Earth's surface could be useful in amazing ways. Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out. Satellite images are already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations. Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act. The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.
What do you think? Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earth's surface?
12. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Seeing
B. Standing
C. Walking
D. Hearing
13. Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public?
A. to protect the technology.
B. for the sake of safety.
C. to protect the environment.
D. to threat other countries.
14. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. This super-sharp map hasn't been put into market.
B. Worldview-3 satellites orbits the Earth at 370 km away.
C. Personal privacy is safely protected if you use the super-sharp map.
D. The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden.
15. How is this technology used in agriculture?
A. It can help improve the production of crops.
B. It can help kill pests.
C. It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away.
D. It can help increase farm land.
