The Winner's Guide to Success

Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America.

Be responsible for yourself.

Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you are giving away your own power.

Write a plan.

It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you'll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.

Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won't get anything valuable.

Never give up.

When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.

A. A good plan is like a map to you.

B. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.

C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they didn't work harder earlier.

D. You are saying you have more control over my life than I do.

E. Someone else's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality.

F. Be willing to pay the price.

G. Here are some keys to success that they give.

From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.

"The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces," said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.

A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.

The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.

But the report states: "Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do." Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.

"The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies," it states.

A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured "a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create," according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.

"Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change," Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.

（1） We can infer from the text that in the future _____.

A . people will face many difficulties B . people will take up more creative jobs C . artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives D . most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces
（2） According to the report, _____.

A . people won't necessarily lose jobs B . big companies will face fewer challenges C . small companies will win against big companies D . most people will become interested in technology
（3） What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?

A . Mixed. B . Worried. C . Hopeful. D . Doubtful.
（4） Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.

A . there will be enough jobs for people B . things will change a lot in a few years C . many people will become unemployed D . technology will totally change future jobs

The 2020 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to former U.S. Poet Laureate (桂冠诗人) Louise Gluck. The prize committee cited "her unique poetic voice that with plain beauty makes individual existence universal". Gluck is the first American woman to win the award since Toni Morrison in 1993. Gluck, 77, joins a list of literary giants and previous Nobelists who include, in this century, Canadian short-story master Alice Munro, Chinese magical-realist Mo Yan, etc.

Gluck's work includes 12 collections of poetry and a few volumes of essays on literary writing. "All are characterized by a striving for clarity (清晰). Childhood and family life, the close relationship with parents and siblings, is a theme that has remained central to her," Anders Olsson, the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said. "She seeks the universal, and in this she takes inspiration from myths and classical motifs," Olsson added, citing her 2006 collection Averno, which the committee described as "masterly" for its "visionary interpretation of the myth of Persephone's (珀尔塞福涅) fall into hell in the captivity (囚禁) of Hades(哈得斯), the god of death".

Being a professor at Yale and a resident of Cambridge, Gluck also served as U.S. Poet Laureate from 2003 to 2004 and is no stranger to awards. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection of poems titled The Wild Iris, in which "she describes the incredible return of life after winter in the poem Snowdrops," the Nobel literature committee said Thursday. She also won the 2014 National Book Award for the poem Faithful and Virtuous Night. In 2016, President Obama awarded the National Humanities Medal to Gluck in a White House ceremony.

The publicity-shy Gluck did not immediately issue any comment about the latest honor for her body of work, which spans more than half a century. In a 2012 interview, she acknowledged that prizes can make "existence in the world easier" but did not amount to the immortality(不朽) of a true artist.

（1） What can we know about Gluck from Paragraph 1?

A . She is as popular as the Chinese novelist Mo Yan. B . She won the Nobel Prize for her special literary style. C . She is the first American to win a Nobel Prize in literature. D . She is the only Poet Laureate in modern American history.
（2） What do Gluck's poems mainly focus on?

A . Daily life. B . Nature. C . Careers. D . Classical myths.
（3） What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?

A . To show Gluck's contributions to literature. B . To prove Gluck's great passion for writing. C . To present Gluck's outstanding achievements. D . To stress Gluck's influence on other poets.
（4） What does Gluck think about the honor she has received?

A . She is content with it. B . She takes it very seriously. C . She deserves a higher honor. D . She doesn't attach great importance to it.

When you got sick, did your parents and doctors make you drink a "terrible soup"? , but it can really make you feel better in several days. The "soup" is actually a kind of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).

In recent years, TCM has become more popular around the world. . China has 10 TCM centers abroad, such as in France and the United States. Doctors give TCM treatment to local people there. They also teach TCM knowledge to local people. Now, there are over 100,000 TCM clinics, with about 300,000 TCM workers around the world.

TCM came from China thousands of years ago. It is based on the Chinese philosophy（哲学）of yin and yang. Humans should follow the natural rules to keep healthy. Old Greece and Egypt created western medicine. .Western doctors check people's height, weight, blood pressure and body temperature.

."Bringing together western medicine and TCM can use collective knowledge, rather than create competition between them. It can develop the great effects of both of them," said Bernhard Schwartlander, a World Health Organization representative in China.

On Dec 6, a government document reported that 86 countries and regions are now developing TCM together with China. In 2015, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize. .Today, with more and people paying attention to TCM, it will definitely have a bright future.

Ever since it was created 30 years ago, The Simpsons, the longest running prime-time (黄金时段) TV show in the country, has become part of US life. So when TV critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked the 100 greatest comedies and dramas broadcast in the US, it came as no surprise that The Simpsons was their top choice.

This was the show that changed the very concept (概念) of cartoons in Western society. Before it appeared, cartoons were considered a way to learn and have fun, not serious adult entertainment. The Simpsons changed this. The genius (过人之处) of the show is that it has something to offer both adults and children.

It's a hugely entertaining program that's also full of satire (讽刺) and clever humor. A remark by Chitra Ramaswamy in The Guardian gave a sense of the esteem (敬重) in which The Simpsons is held: “Nothing before or since has matched its capacity to be at once so profoundly (深刻地) clever and so unbelievably stupid.”

The show's creator Matt Groening, and the brilliant team that work with him, make fun of the US government, social customs, and of course, the idea of family life. But unlike classic US prime-time TV characters, the Simpsons are a dysfunctional (功能失调的) family.

Bart, the boy, is always in trouble – both at home and at school. That may be in part because of his paternal (父亲的) example. Homer Simpson, perhaps the most iconic character, is a beer-swilling (喝着啤酒的), overweight slob (懒汉) who is normally found in front of the TV. And Marge, Homer's wife and the mother of the family, spends most of her time cooking, cleaning or trying to fix the messes that Bart and Homer make.

The smartest member of the family is daughter Lisa, who excels (表现卓越) at school but is no goody-goody (讨好卖乖的人): Lisa never misses an opportunity to challenge authority. The youngest member of the family is baby Maggie, who will likely be as much a trouble as her brother and sister when she grows up – if she ever grows up, that is.

But although the Simpsons are a problem family, viewers are always on their side. One of the reasons the show has remained so popular all these years is that the characters are so likeable. Millions of us identify with (同情) them. They are a working class family struggling to make ends meet. They aren't perfect, but then, who is? And after 30 years, this is still what strikes a chord (引起共鸣) with millions of viewers worldwide.

（1） According to the article, The Simpsons ______.

A . is a program designed only for fun B . reminds people of their sad childhoods C . is suitable for both adults and kids D . is difficult to understand for many people

A . They all show great support to the government. B . They are an ordinary family with many problems. C . Bart and Lisa are the troublemakers of the family. D . The children regard Homer as their role model.
（3） According to the article, viewers like the Simpsons mainly because ______.

A . they have the courage to challenge authority B . they are a happy and perfect family C . they teach viewers how to fix problems D . their lives and problems are similar to real people's

A . What kind of stories The Simpsons tells. B . The most popular characters in The Simpsons. C . Changes to The Simpsons over the years. D . Reasons behind The Simpsons' lasting popularity.

One evening last fall, while Marcos Ugarte did his homework and his father, Eduardo, a teacher, prepared lesson plans, they heard shouting outside. Eduardo, 47, and Marcos, 15, stepped onto the balcony(阳台) of their two-story home. Immediately, Marcos’ s eye was caught by a flame from one of their neighbors’ houses.

"Dad, the house is on fire!" Marcos cried. Dressed only in shorts, the barefoot teen

dashed towards the Mas’ home with his dad. Grandmother Yim Ma, mother Suzanne Ma, and son Nathan Ma were gathered on the front grassland shouting for help. When the Ugartes got there, they saw through the open front door that father Alex Ma was falling down the stairs, coughing, his face black with dirt.

"Is anyone else in the house?" Eduardo asked.

"My son!" Alex managed to say, pointing to the second floor.

Eduardo started up the stairs, but thick, black smoke, swirling ash, and extreme heat

forced him to his knees. He inched upstairs and down the hall where Alex said he would find Cody, eight, who had locked himself in a bedroom. "I’d never seen smoke like that," says Eduardo. "My glasses immediately turned black from the ash."

As the fire spread across the hall, Eduardo banged on the bedroom door and tried to turn the handle. But Cody didn’t respond, and Eduardo made his way back downstairs. At the same time, Marcos saw Yim and Suzanne pulling an aluminum(铝) ladder out of the garage. "Cody was standing at the window, screaming for help," says Marcos.

"I knew I had to do something." He grabbed the ladder, positioned it near the window, and climbed towards the boy. When Marcos reached the window, he pushed the screen into the room and persuaded Cody out. "It’s OK," Marcos told him. "I’ve got you." Holding Cody with one arm, Marcos moved down the ladder. Halfway down, he handed the boy to a neighbor.

The day after the fire, Alex visited Marcos. "Thank you for saving my son," Alex said. "You are his hero forever."

Mark Zukerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, an extremely popular social working website that started in the United States.

Now, millions of student users visit Facebook daily and the website is one of the top ten most widely visited sites on the internet worldwide. College and high school students use Facebook to communicate with friends and share both information and pictures for free. The company earns money through advertising.

Many other companies have been rumored(谣传) to be interested in buying Facebook. Just a few years after Mark started the company, he was approached by Terry Semel, who was the CEO of Yahoo. Terry offered Mark one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) to sell Facebook to Yahoo. Mark said no, though. He lives for his dream even at the very beginning. He knows this. Maybe he was smart. Now Facebook is rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger companies like Microsoft or Google want a share of the company. Some private firms are also interested. Facebook could sell 15 billion dollars if Mark decided to sell it at all. Perhaps Mark will just keep working from his California office to continue his dream of building something cool.

A. members B. students C. pictures D. advertisements

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.

36 They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when “their” player or team wins. 37 Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! 38 Think how many people love to skate or ski in Japan, Norway or Canada.

Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. 39 Water skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.

People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. 40 One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.
