    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 (摘錄) 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 first book Harry Potter 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 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 let your failures beat 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 (奮斗) ，even when you’re discouraged (泄氣) ，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.

() 1. Mr. Obama said he knew that some students hope to get rich and successful .

   A. by hard work   B. without hard work

   C. by studying hard   D. by their good grades

() 2. Why does Barack Obama mention JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth para-

graph?

   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.

() 3. 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.

() 4. 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.

    In nature,you may see many insects (昆蟲) and animals of different colors. Have you ever won-dered why?

      Locusts are super delicious food for birds,but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops (莊稼). When crops are young,locusts look green. But when autumn comes,locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.

    Brown bears,tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can't be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason,polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil (土壤) in a dark and wet environment. However,insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive,they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.

    Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over,its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.

   A. locusts are good runners   B. locusts can jump very high
