Successdoesnotbelongtoaselectg-优题课

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals (个人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.
Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.
Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.
Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.
Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.
Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination (终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.
Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change, you will change, and you will succeed.
Who does success belong to?

A．a select group of individuals

B．the common person who works hard

C．the people who try their best

D．the people who will change and succeed.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success?

A．Working hard.	B．Good education.
C．Strong desire.	D．Enjoying failure.

What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.” ?

A．It’s not easy for people to develop their health.

B．You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.

C．Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.

D．Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.

Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage?

A．If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.

B．If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.

C．Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.

D．Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey.

The best title of the passage might be_______________.

A．The Importance of Success	B． The Meaning of Success
C．Success or Failure	D．The Five Main Steps to Success

阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①Would you like to get fewer colds and feel better? Would you like to have a taste of a special plant? Would you like to keep a plant with little care? An Aloe Vera plant could be just what the scientists may suggest!

②Growing Aloe Vera plants at home can make the air clean and fresh. Studies have shown that they give off oxygen（O₂）and take away harmful things from the air. With clean and fresh air, you are more likely to stay away from colds, sore throats and dry coughs. And even if you do get sick, Aloe Vera plants may help you get better from the illness faster.

③Did you know that Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine? Aloe Vera gel（胶体）helps to deal with the pain of burns. And it also helps with itchiness（痒）caused by insect bites. To get this gel, just cut off a part of the plant, peel it, and put the gel on the affected skin（患处). This easy-to-get and safe-to-use medicine is available to you all year round.

④Apart from medical use, Aloe Vera plants are also popular in food industry. Whether you are interested in Aloe juice or crazy about Aloe yogurt, you’ll easily find them in the supermarket. Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table.

⑤ ▲ They like dry, warm air with bright light, so they grow best when placed near a window. Aloe Vera plants are able to keep water in their leaves. So, they do not need to be watered so often as most houseplants. Just wait until the earth is completely dry before you water them. When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a long time. That’s all you need to do to take care of an Aloe Vera plant. Isn’t it the perfect plant for lazy and forgetful gardeners.

阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Space tourism（太空旅游业）is no longer a thing of science fiction. There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space. So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space. Now, what can space tourists do while in space? Here are some examples:

See the Earth from Space

Seeing the Earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder（which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the earth).

Stay in a Space Hotel

Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right? So if there’s space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold up to 6 people at a time.

Eat in Space

Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp（打嗝）in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around.

Visit the Moon and Other Planets

Space tourism companies are racing to launch（发射）the first tourist flight to the moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the moon, we will probably see it in our lifetime. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see hotels on the moon.

With the industry rapidly developing, space tourism is around the corner, and it might come much faster than we think. Who knows what the future might be like? Will you be the next person to travel to space?

（1）How many people did Space X send into space in April, 2022?

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．	Orion Span has built six space hotels.
B．	Eating in space is as easy as it is on the earth.
C．	Seeing the earth from space is meaningless for most people.
D．	It is possible for common people to visit the moon in the future.

（3）The underlined words “around the corner” in the last paragraph probably mean “________”.

A．	very slow	B．	very near
C．	very difficult	D．	very traditional

（4）The text is probably from the column（栏目）of ________ in a magazine.

Travel

Health

Sports

Education

Dear Erik,

Surprise! I believe you didn’t expect a note from your mom in your lunchbox! How is your school day so far? I hope it is going well. You always do your best. I am proud of you!

Because I had to leave so early this morning, I wrote this note last night and put it into your lunchbox to wish you well on your speech today. With all of your amazing research, writing, and practice, you are going to do great!

I know that you get a little nervous talking in front of large groups—everybody does. But, just remember what you practiced and you just might forget about being nervous.

Here are just a few things to remember when you are giving a speech:

1.Make eye contact（眼神交流）with your classmates.

2.Speak clearly and slowly.

3.Look at your notecards only when you have to.

4.Enjoy yourself! Once you are in front of the class, pretend（假装）that you are a famous expert on your topic and everyone is listening carefully to your EVERY word. （I do that sometimes!)

Well, that’s all for now. I am thinking of you today and I know you will do great. Do your best and be brave like George Washington. He was an excellent choice for your speech.

Good luck Erik!

Maybe we can go out for ice cream after school!

Love,

Mom
