In life, they are always trying to make things better or have more of the same success.Athletes are constantly striving to shorten time for races, increase heights or distances.The world of medicine has had its series of successes, too. Christian Barnard performed several successful heart transplants. Other medical experts have achieved organ transplants. Throughout the ages, mankind has found treatment and cures for cancer and other diseases. A cure of AIDS might soon be discovered.Age does not seem to slow down achievers. Tina Tuner at 54 is still singing in abundance and attracting sellout crowds wherever she goes.edian George Burns, in his 90s, wants to perform at Caesars Palace when he turns 100.Success does not belong only to the rich and famous. It should be the goal of everyone. Many successful people have had humble beginnings.Would you believe that actress Michelle Pfeifer of Cat was a supermarket checkout girl?At work, we strive for achievement too.

Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life.“Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.”He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didnt have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where its not that unmon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “Whats up?”I asked him.“II dont have money to buy books for school.”I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills.“Will this help?”I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,”he said.“Thank you very much!”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if hes a cheat(骗子)?And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didnt know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.“Oh, gosh! Long time.”“Are you in school now?”I asked.He nodded.“Thats good,”I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here, I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.”He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt.“Whats wrong?”I asked.“Its a gift.”He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat(汗水). He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said,“Ive been waiting to give these to you.”64. What was the authors first impression of the boy? A. He seemed to be poor and greedy.B. He seemed to have suffered a lot.C. He seemed younger than his age.D. He seemed good at bargaining.65. The second time the author met the boy, the boy . A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB. wanted to express his thanksC. asked him for money for his schoolbooks.D. tried to take advantage of him66. Why did the author give his money to the boy? A. Because he had enough money to do that.B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C. Because he held a higher position in the society.D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.67. Which of the following best describes the boy? A. Brave and polite.B. Kind and smart. C. Honest and thankful. D. Shy and nervous.D“e in, Kim. Have a seat, please,”said Bill Williams, the manager. This was Kims first experience with an assessment. After only six months he was due for a raise if this assessment was satisfactory.“Kim,”began Bill Williams，“I am very pleased with the quality of your work. I have nothing but praise for your devotion and your hard work. My only concern is that you are not active enough in putting forward your suggestions.”“But，”replied Kim，“I have always pleted every assignment you have given me, Mr. Williams.”“I know that, Kim. And please, call me Bill. But what I expect is for you to think independently and introduce new ideas. I need more input from you, more feedback on how things are going. I dont need ayes-man. You never tell me what you think. You just smile as though everything is fine.”“But,”said Kim，“I feel that since you are my superior, it would be presumptuous of me to tell you what to do.”“Im not asking you to tell me what to do, but what you think we could do. To make suggestions, I employed you because I respect your experience in this field, but you are not municating your thoughts to me.”“Yes, I see. Im not accustomed to this, but I will try to do as you sayBill.”“Good, then. I expect to hear more from you at staff meetings or at any other time you want to discuss an idea with me.”“Yes, of course. Thank you, Mr. WillBill.”68. Kim is the sort of employee who . A. does not speak out his own ideasB. is not devoted to the jobC. laughs too much over workD. can not finish his work on time69. The word“presumptuous”in the middle of the passage is closest in meaning to“ ”. A. full of respectB. too confident and rudeC. lacking in experienceD. too shy and quiet70.

Kim is likely to have a higher salary if he can pass the assessment.EOldest, Youngest, or in the Middle?Were you the first or last child in your family? Or were you a middle or only child? Some people think it matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means.Some people say that oldest children are smart and strong-willed. They are very likely to be successful. The reason for this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child. They give him or her a lot of attention. So this child is very likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason.What happens to the other children in a family? Middle children dont get so much attention. So they dont feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle ones sometimes get lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special treatment. He or she is the“baby.”Often this child grows up to be funny and charming.Do you believe these ideas about birth order? A recent study saw things quite differently. This study found that first children believed in family rules. They didnt take many chances in their lives. They usual
