Michael Jordon is the greatest basketball player of all time. Once he was making a television commercial (广告). All Michael needed to do in the advertisement was to miss a shot.

For Michael, this was difficult. He had conditioned himself to succeed whenever he was throwing the ball. Every time he threw a basketball, it went in. Every time he tried to miss a shot, he failed for miss. In total, it took him over 20 attempts (尝试) before he missed a shot.

For Michael, success is a strong habit. He had formed a habit that was so strong that it took him a lot of time to break it and “fail”.

Just like drinking, smoking and collecting things, success is also a habit. The only thing is, it is much more effective!

Like all habits, once it is established (建立), it is difficult to break.

Many people think that success is difficult to maintain (维持). They feel that it will be hard work and will need too much action and focus. The truth is that it is simply a habit, and as easy to maintain as any other habit.

Spend some time making success a habit in your life. Once you have developed it, it is not something you will want to change again. Then, the only thing you will fail at is failing.

21. Why did Jordan attempt 20 times before he missed a shot in the advertisement?

A. Because he didn’t work hard enough.

B. Because he was not careful enough.

C. Because he was too tired.

D. Because success was a strong habit for him.

22. What do many people wrongly think of success?

A. They think it is easy to maintain.

B. They think it needs too much action and focus.

C. They think it is impossible to establish the habit of success.

D. They think it doesn’t require too much work.

23. What does the writer want to tell us?

A. We should never miss a shot.

B. Trying to fail is necessary.

C. We should make success a habit.

D. Success is not easy to achieve.

B

JAMES shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52 (about 153 yuan). The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! How on earth (究竟) was he going to get the rest of the money?

He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out with people when you were the only one without a bicycle. He thought about what he could do. There was no point asking his parents, for he knew they had no extra money.

There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice.

“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”

That was the beginning of James’ part-time job. For the next three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks, cleared out cupboards and mended books.

The day finally came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard working for the money, but James knew that he valued (珍惜) his bicycle far more because he had bought it with his own money. He had achieved what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

24. Why didn’t James ask his parents for help?

A. Because they didn’t love him.

B. Because they didn’t have extra money.

C. Because they lived far away from him.

D. Because they didn’t need a bike.

25. James did the following jobs EXCEPT ____.

A. walking dogs B. clearing out cupboards

C. cooking meals D. mending books

26. How much money did James earn?

A. $24.52 B. $90 C. $94.32 D. $69.80

27. What does the writer want to tell us?

A. We should buy everything we want.

B. We should get what we want through hard work.

C. Parents shouldn’t give children any money.

D. We shouldn’t show off new things to poor children.

C

Lots of people usually discard the skin when they eat fruit and vegetables. However, the skin of some fruit can provide more nutrients(营养成分) and health benefits.

Bananas — When you eat bananas, don’t just throw away the peel. If you are feeling down and blue, it will help you to get into a lighter mood. Taiwanese researchers found out banana peel contains serotonin(血清素), a chemical that balances the mood. To use it, simply boil banana skin in water for about 10 minutes. You can drink it when it’s cool.

Citrus(柑橘属类) fruit — I know lots of people love oranges and lemons. But they usually throw away the peel and just eat what’s inside. The juice also contains antioxidants(抗氧化剂), but the peel has higher concentration(浓聚物) of them. In fact the peel has 20 times more antioxidant content! Antioxidants help fight off the bad LDL cholesterol(低密度脂蛋白胆固醇).

So if you want your body to be free of bad cholesterol, don’t throw away all the orange peel!

Apples — I know a lot of people eat apples with their peel on. So, just a reminder: apple peel contains about 87 percent more nutrients that help to fight cancer, according to a study by Corner University.

Potatoes — Potato skin is rich in nutrients like fibre, iron and vitamin C. Just wash the whole potato thoroughly and cook with the skin on, whether you are going to mash(磨碎) or bake the potato. In addition, potatoes help in preventing cancer and heart disease, since they also have antioxidants in them.

28. The underlined word, “discard”, in the first paragraph, probably means “ ”.

A. take in B. look for C. cut up D. throw away

29. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the third paragraph?

A. People like oranges because of the nutrients in their peel.

B. The peel of citrus fruit contains more antioxidants than its juice.

C. Antioxidants help to increase the level of LDL cholesterol.

D. Potato skin can be used as medicine for cancer.

30. Apple peel contains nutrients that can help fight .

A. cancer B. high cholesterol C. heart disease D. sadness

Dear Joe,

Long time no see. How’s everything going?

I used to be happy boy. As I grow up day by day, I find life is not as relaxed as before. How I miss the care-free days which I didn’t have so much homework. I could watch TV, play computer games or doing sports.

But now, things are quite different. My parents almost don’t allow me to do anything except my lessons, like surfing in the Internet, playing football or even reading magazine. They think it is a waste of time. They always say, “You’ve grown up, you should working hard to achieve high scores in exams. You are the hope of our family”, and so on.

I know they love her and all these are good for me. But I feel stressed, not knowing how to do. Luckily, my head teacher understands me. She tells me that growing up are a long way. I have to learn to adapt to all the changes, both physically and psychologically.

Facing growing pains, I have been learning. What about you, Joe?

Yours, Li Hua
