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. 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.
1.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.

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is likely that the two pets will get along smoothly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is surprising that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.
The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
1.The underlined word smoothly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. early B. mostly
C. quickly D. well
2.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A. They eat and sleep together.
B. They watch each other’s behaviors.
C. They learn to speak each other’s language.
D. They know something from each other’s voices.
3.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.
A. have common interests
B. have appeared to become smarter.
C. have a common body language
D. are not so smart as was expected
4.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A. We should learn to get along well with others
B.We should know more about animals.
C. We should live in peace with animals.
D. We should learn more body languages.

My life began similarly to most children but I grew up without knowing what a father or mother was. No one was there to teach me how to tell right from wrong. Because of this, I got into some bad habits and spent seven years as a boy on the street.
When I was 20, I was taken in a rehab clinic (康复诊所). Inside I met Bill, my counselor (辅导员). He taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving.
It was the night before an important test and I was very nervous. Bill invited me to go out for a walk to relax(放松) me. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we should go for a coffee. I told him I had no money when I got paid, and I offered to pay him back. He stopped then and looked at me in a serious, but loving way and said he was doing this because he wanted to. Then he said, "One day when you'll be around someone who will need a coffee, you'll be able to buy it for them. That's how you can pay me back."
I'm a primary school teacher now. My job is simple and I can buy young people coffee now. Bill taught me how to offer help to others.
