How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations show that there are several keys to success that successful people share.
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering (給人以權力的)things they can do .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 fact that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose ,their main concern is to do the job right .They love what they do ---and it shows people want to do business with them because of their devotion to their jobs.
To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always keep in mind that they don’t have forever. Rather than seeing it negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to encourage themselves to move on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
小題1:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．How do people live their life on purpose?B．How can people be successful?
C．How do people make plans?D．How do people do business?
小題2:By living life “on purpose ”successful people can ________
A．do a lot of work without using more money.B．concentrate on their jobs
C．do business with many people easily.D．share what they have with every one unselfishly.

A．the main concern of successful people
B．the job that successful people do
C．the devotion with which successful people do their job
D．the business that successful people do with other people.

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars collided and the drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She got into a panic and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver’s wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake.

When you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you perceive(理解) yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.
Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (闡明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.
To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.
Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.
Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.
　　When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.
小題1:The purpose of the author writing this passage is to advise people to _______.
A．avoid inappropriate manners
B．learn tolerance towards others
C．pay attention to others’ needs and feelings
D．judge others favorably in any case
小題2:The underlined word “objectionable” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to __________.
A．discouragingB．disappointingC．disgustingD．disturbing
小題3:According to the passage, the following statements are all true except ______.
A．You can’t really love or hate others if they are similar to you.
B．We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.
C．Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.
D．The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.
小題4:It can be implied from the text that __________.
A．the writer’s first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensive
B．we will need to learn tolerance to co-exist with others
C．we shouldn’t focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our own
D．the writer didn’t care about other people’s view of him

Dr. Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish. It's not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It's not because they're bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. It’s because they're smart.
"Fish are sensitive, they have personalities," says the marine biologist. For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. "I would never eat anyone I know personally."
There's a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human. They can remember things and learn from experience. Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether.
The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket. "While it may seem conspicuous that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables," says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. "Really, it's kind of a moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?"
Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are skeptical. "I've never seen a smart fish," says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. "If they were very smart, they wouldn't get caught."
"For years, everyone's been telling us to eat fish because it's so good for us," says another diner. "Now I've got to feel guilty while I'm eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don't eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?"
小題1:According to Dr. Sylvia Earle, he would stop eating fish as a result of the following reasons EXCEPT ___________ .
A．Fish are sensitive and have personalities
B．He knows fish very well
C．Fish are dangerous to eat because the water is polluted
D．Fish are clever
小題2:Dr. Lynne Sneddon describes the behavior of eating fish in a(n) _______ tone.
A．opposedB．optimisticC．indifferentD．supportive
小題3:Which word below can take the place of the underlined word “conspicuous” in Paragraph 4?
A．obviousB．easyC．impossibleD．necessary
小題4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____________ .
A．Human beings should stop eating fish
B．We would feel guilty if we continued eating fish
C．People eat fish because fish are delicious
D．Cucumber is a kind of vegetable or fruit
小題5:What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage?
A．To advise people to stop eating fish.
B．To introduce a topic of whether people should eat fish.
C．To advise people not to stop eating fish.
D．To tell us that fish will feel pain when caught and transported.

Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to perform euthanasia(安樂死)—that’s to say, doctors are permitted to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. Word that the law was passed by the vote of 15 to 10 immediately flashed on the Internet and was picked up by John, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada, who posted it on the group’s homepage online, saying, “This isn’t merely something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical influence. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米諾骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to end suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the disturbing fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.
小題1:According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE?
A．Patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia if they are afraid of illness.
B．Australia, Canada and the US speak highly of the law of euthanasia.
C．All people in Australia don’t share the positive attitude to euthanasia
D．If a patient requests death, he should sign a certificate after 48 hours.
小題2:The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observers are prepared to learn the news that         .
A．some other countries pass similar laws
B．Australia has to put an end to euthanasia
C．people begin to change attitudes to euthanasia
D．different effects result from the game of dominoes
小題3:Which is NOT the reason for Australia to become the first country to pass the law of euthanasia?
A．Australia has advanced technology of extending life.
B． Australians realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than death.
C．Australia is faced with a growing ageing population.
D．Australians find it easy to deal with the moral and practical influence.
小題4:It can be inferred from the text that          .
A．Australia passed the law of euthanasia by the vote of 15 to 10
B．John and his group are in favor of the law of euthanasia in Australia.
C．an adult patient can request euthanasia by a deadly injection or pill
D．Lloyd has seen many people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen.
小題5:What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?
A．NegativeB．CriticalC．DoubtfulD．Positive
