How to survive and thrive
Here are some tips to help you learn not only to survive, but to thrive(有成) and grow in a chaotic world.
Try to build on strengths rather than focus on weaknesses.

Realize that few mistakes are disastrous.
Did you fail a course? 2.Most of us can’t avoid an occasional failure, but we can learn bounce-back attitudes through failures.
3.
Cecelia, a shy twelve-year-old, became livelier when she won the lead in a school play. “We want you to improve your grades, not spend time on plays!” said her worried mother. 4.And she made new friends with the “good kids” who were also achievers. Most importantly, no matter what happens, Cecelia can return to that feeling of success whenever she gets discouraged.
Getting into a top university—or any university – will not guarantee success.
I’ve met high school drop-outs who became very successful. 5. Career-changers who face the future with an attitude of “I can handle anything” are the ones who win today. While in difficulties, they keep up their spirits till they figure out what to do next.
A. Have no idea about your future plan?
B. Face rejection from a first-class college?
C. Life is hard at the moment, but we’re surviving.
D. Try to experience success in any area of your life.
E. To everyone’s surprise, Cecelia’s grades improved.
F. Do you spend hours studying models of cars for the last twenty years?
G. I’ve met people from top universities who experienced unemployment and even homelessness.
Early excitement about the next generation of the iPhone is building months ahead of an expected autumn debut(问世). Analysts expect Apple to release three iPhones this year, but the one getting the most attention is a rumored super-premium model to celebrate the iPhone's tenth anniversary. And, for that phone, Apple is expected to change the type of screen the iPhone uses.
Here's a quick look at what you need to know about what it means if Apple switches from its current liquid crystal display (LCD) screens to a type of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen called AMOLED.
The essential difference between an LCD screen and an AMOLED one is the presence of a backlight. Thanks to that difference, AMOLED screens can be very thin, which means you can make thinner products. They also provide more vivid colors, which is a reason that television makers have been pushing OLED in its various forms for their big screens. AMOLED screens, in particular, boast(夸口) even greater control over each individual pixel （像素）— which means better contrast for the viewer. These screens can also improve battery life. Because there's no backlight, AMOLED screens can be more energy-efficient when the user is viewing darker subjects, allowing the phone to shut off pixels and stop drawing power.
So why hasn't Apple switched to AMOLED yet? After all, Apple competitors such as Samsung and LG already have these screens on their smartphones.
AMOLED screens are not cheap to produce. It's also not that easy to make the complex AMOLED screens, which could explain why most Apple fans expect that only the highest-end phone will have the new screen.
And then there's the cost. The switch to AMOLED has also been cited as a reason that the price of the high-end iPhone may jump above the $1,000 mark. Beauty, even in a mass-produced world, does not come cheap.
Still, the expense may be worth it, especially as people shoot more photos and videos.
1.According to the passage, when will the iPhone’s tenth anniversary most probably be held?
A. In June.
B. In March.
C. In November.
D. In January.
2.According to most Apple fans, AMOLED screens will only be used on ________ this year.
A. the cheapest iPhones
B. the most massive iPhones
C. the highest iPhones
D. the most expensive iPhones
3.What does the underlined sentence indicate?
A. It is very expensive to become beautiful.
B. Everything has a price.
C. The more you pay, the more beautiful you will become.
D. Practice more, and you will become better.
4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the expected iPhone?
A. Negative.
B. Critical.
C. Positive.
D. Uninterested.
