seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those
seeds grow.
The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice but not
a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊). Your level of selfesteem is
always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life.
Peoplewith low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They
are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible
for whatever happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful
people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect.
We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause
everything. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. One
generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success
depends upon our level of confidence. We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking
bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
If you associate with positivethinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the
contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds
that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial,physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are
responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it,you are on the road to success.
B. working hard will lead to success
C. they fail only because of bad luck
D. they don"t make efforts to succeed
B. developing confidence is the key to future success
C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action
B. the conclusion of the argument
C. an introduction to another topic
D. a comparison between two views
B. The secrets of success
C. Develop our confidence
D. How to achieve success

eight.That may not be too surprising to anyone who has kids.
Humans are born with a sense of fairness that most other animals seem not to share, but it"s not been
clear exactly when this concept starts to develop.
Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues conducted a series of tests to measure just how much children care
about equality at different ages.In three different versions of a game, children were asked to choose
between two ways of sharing a number of sweets with themselves and an unfamiliar partner.They could
choose, for example, between one for me and one for you, or just having one for themselves.
At the age of three, children were "almost completely selfish", says Zhao.
They refused to give sweets away even if it made no difference to themselves.But by the age of eight,
children generally preferred the fair option, sharing a prize equally rather than keeping it all to themselves.
Several other factors influenced how fair the children were.The team found that children without
brothers or sisters were 28% more likely to share than children with brothers or sisters.On the other
hand, the youngest children in a family were 17% less willing to share than children who had only
younger brother or sister.
In addition, if children knew that their partner was from the same playgroup or school, they were
more concerned about being fair.This suggests that being nice to people you know is something that
develops a sense of equality.

A. parents know clearly when their kids are more willing to share
B. the kids" willingness of sharing is learned from their family
C. the older the kids are, the more selfish they will become

2. The tests conducted by Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues were aimed at________.
A. how kids develop a quality of fairness in games
B. children"s awareness of equality at different ages
C. the reasons why children care about equality
D. children"s attitudes towards other partners
3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Children under three know little about being fair.
B. Children above eight years old become less selfish.
C. Children with brothers or sisters tend to be more generous.
D. The youngest child in a family tends to be less generous.
4. We can learn that children care more about equality while with________.
A. unknown people
B. nice people
C. familiar people
D. fair people
say 100 million more could go hungry this year because of the food and financial crises.
To deal with the situation, the UN World Food Program has started a project to help small farmers.
These farmers are mainly women.Many cannot produce enough food even to feed and support their own
families.
The new effort is called Purchase for Progress, or P4P.It aims to connect local farmers with
dependable markets.That way, they could get a chance to sell their surplus (剩余) at competitive prices.
P4P will be tested in as many as 21 countries during the next five years.
The biggest contributor to the project is Bill Gates, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Another donor (捐款者) is the Howard Buffett Foundation, led by a son of the American investor
Warren Buffett.The government of Belgium is also supporting the project in a former colony (殖民地),
now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Together these donors have provided more than 76 million dollars for projects in Africa and Central
America.
Purchase for Progress will work with United Nations agencies, governments and nongovernmental
organizations to help increase crop production.The World Bank Group and other partners are to help
train farmers in better crop management and marketing skills.
The World Food Program says it expects to buy 40,000 tons of food in the first year using methods
carried out by the project.That will be enough to feed 250,000 people.
P4P is expected to develop food cooperatives and longterm agreements for buying corn, wheat and
other food crops.About 350,000 farmers could be assisted.
Officials say the project will change the way the World Food Program buys food in developing
countries. Executive Director Josette Sheeran says this is the first time her agency will buy a large
amount of food from small farmers.The agency has traditionally bought most of its food from developing
countries, but through larger trading organizations.

C. there are only two donors to help the project
D. some farmers still cannot support their families
2. According to the passage, ________will work hard to deal with the situation.
A. the United Nations
B. the combined efforts

F. What is Adult Education
1. _____
Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education.Such
education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults.Adults may
want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or job training, find out
about new technological development, seek better selfunderstanding, or develop new talents and skills.
2. _____
This kind of education may be in the form of selfstudy with proper guidance through the use of
libraries, correspondence (函授) courses, or broadcasting.It may also be acquired collectively in schools
and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs, and professional associations.
3. _____
Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the
rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were
moving from rural areas to cities: new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.
These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.
4. _____
The earliest program of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the
founding of an adult school at Nottingham and a mechanics" institute at Glasgow.The earliest adult
education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in
Philadelphia in 1727.
5. _____
People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today.For
example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining
programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up
constantly to meet these and other needs.
good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good
friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows (誓言) mean what they say.I am a good friend
to my friends, and they to me.Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here"s what I want to tell you today:Get a life.A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升),
the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love, and who love you.And remember that love
is not leisure (休闲), it is work.Pick up the phone.Send an email.Write a letter.And realize that life is the
best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes.It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_
of_to_live.I learnt to live many years ago.Something really, really bad happened to me, something that
changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all.And what I
learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try
to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally.And I tried to do that, in part, by
telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this:Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of
life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be
lived.

invented a suit that can be worn while they wash.
The suit has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the showerhead.There is no need
for soaking (浸泡), dry cleaning-or even soap.
The Japanese market has taken a liking to the "shower suit", described as "revolutionary" by its owner Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), which is the research and marketing body that represents Australian
woolgrowers.Orders have been placed for 170,000 of the woolen suits.
The suit could be worn in the shower, although it was probably better to hang it on a clothes hanger
and carry it instead, AWI corporate affairs spokesman Stephen Feighan said."The idea is that you hang it
up and then...you give it a spray (喷雾), and it"s dry the next morning, " Mr Feighan said.
A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies.The secret
is the best lining (内衬), which allows the suit to dry quickly.The shower suit attracted busy corporate
people, particularly those who often traveled or stayed up late, Mr Feighan said.The airline industry was
also interested.
Mr Feighan confessed he had not worn one of the suits yet, or tried to wash it in the shower, because
they cut to fit Japanese figures.
AWI believes that the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market through Europe and India
