How can we improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “this is my destiny (命运). I cannot change it.”
Certainly not! You don’t have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn’t.
Remember that you get what you pay. You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反馈). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively (积极地), you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.

解析

试题分析:这篇短文中作者主要告诉我们,生活中想要成功,想要改善自己的生活,我们不能只是希望它能最好,还要做到最好。遇到麻烦的时候,我们不能安静的等待,而是要采取行动,解决问题。只要我们自己肯努力,我们的命运是可以改变的。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第一、二段中Certainly not! You don’t have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors.可知,对于一些人觉得命运不可改变的说法,作者给出了自己的回答,命运可以改变,这一切都要靠你自己。故选A。
小题2:细节理解题。根据短文第四段中If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反馈). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem可知,如果生活中出现了问题,不要把它当做一次小小的失败,而是要用它当反馈,从你的教训中学习,充分利用情势,做些什么来解决问题。故选D。
小题3:词义猜测题。根据这个短语所在的句子If someone’s life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine可知,如果一个人的生活有了麻烦,你是不是只希望事情自己就会变好?根据这句话的意思可知,turn out 的意思是变得。故选C。
小题4:推理判断题。根据短文中It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best.可知,只是希望最美好的事情是不够的,你还需要做到最好,故A是不对的;根据It’s not enough to think positively (积极地), you also have to act positively可知,想要成功,我们不仅要积极思考,还要积极行动,故B是不对的;根据短文第三段的例子可知,She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn’t.,作者觉得这位女士并没有做到最好,故C是不对的;根据文意可知,如果我们自己努力,积极,对生活去做点什么的话,也许运气就会得到改变。故选D。
小题5:主旨大意题。这篇短文中作者主要告诉我们,生活中想要成功,想要改善自己的生活,我们不能只是希望它能最好,还要做到最好。遇到麻烦的时候,我们不能安静的等待,而是要采取行动,解决问题。只要我们自己肯努力,我们的命运是可以改变的。根据这个大意,我们可知B选项Improve your life改变你的生活,这个题目更适合。故选B。

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
In the early morning, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I pay you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug(拥抱). She held on me and said, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
小题1:The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.
A.show she was familiar with the city
B.see some places for the last time
C.let the driver earn more money
D.reach the destination on time
小题2:The taxi driver did not get the money because he ______.
A.wanted to give her a hand
B.shut off the meter by mistake
C.had received her payment already
D.was in a hurry to take other passengers
小题3:What can we learn from the story?
A.No pains, no gains.
B.People should respect(尊重) each other.
C.An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
D.People should learn to enjoy our life.

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average,and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.
 What made these average students change so much to become top students?The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude. Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students,they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
 Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success,and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”
 Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said,“Johnny,you’re the naughtiest boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class,she met with Johnny after school and said,“Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s the power of our belief and attitude toward children.
小题1:The professor started his research by _______.
A.teaching the five children himself
B.asking the five children to find a new teacher
C.telling the five students to work harder than ever before
D.telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class
小题2:The five average students became top students mainly because of ________.
A.the professor’s study B.the teachers’hard work
C.the change in the teachersD.the change in the teachers’ attitude
小题3:What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Attitude and belief can change a person.
B.Only teachers can make you a top student.
C.A professor’s study can help you score highest.
D.If you want to get more,you should have new teachers.
