Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do , if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the
point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into. 24. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.
A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success C. the standards of success D. the importance of success 25. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “that” refers to __________.
A. being good at something B. succeeding in life C. putting in more time D. setting a practical goal 26. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills. B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent. C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life. D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success. 27. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success. B. Being good is different from being great. C. One cannot succeed without time and practice. D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
C
Research has shown that 85 percent of communication is nonverbal, so choosing what to wear to an interview is clearly an important part of your overall presentation. It won’t make up for weak answers, but it can communicate some positive things about your personality and what you might be like to work with. · Blue You can’t go wrong with darker shades of blue, especially navy. Choosing from this powerful color will project an image of someone who is in control. From the interviewer’s point of view, the color blue suggests calm, stability, trust, truth, confidence and security. These are all great messages to send without saying a word.
· Gray After blue, gray is the second most popular color to wear for an interview. Like darker blue, it’s not a distracting color to the interviewer, which means they’ll be focused more on what you’re saying and how you’re saying it. Gray means sophistication(老成), so use it to your advantage.
· Black This is a commanding color and represents authority. Black also suggests excitement, so use it carefully when putting together your interview outfit. You may want to use it as an accent(着重色) —like in
a scarf or tie, for instance—rather than as the primary color.
· Red This is an extremely powerful color. It’s so strong that you should only use it as an accent color. Reds are associated with energy, passion, desire, power and aggression. People think of intensity(紧张) and passion when they see the color red, so use it carefully or it could send the wrong message to the interviewer.
· White White shirts and blouses are always appropriate. It sends the message of simplicity, cleanliness, precision(精细) and goodness.
28. Why is it important to choose what to wear to an interview? A. Because it will make up for your weak answers. B. Because it suggests something about your personality. C. Because it will make you feel better.

Elephants scored a big win in Dohar, Qatar, on March 22. People from 175 countries met in the Middle Eastern country. They voted to continue a ban on the sale of ivory(象牙). Two African nations, Tanzania and ambia, had asked to open up the ivory trade.
People feared that weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory would encourage illegal hunting and hurt elephant populations. African elephants once numbered in the millions. Today, there are fewer than 500,000.
“People born in 100 years should be able to see an elephant,” said Noah Wekesa, enya’s minister of forest and wildlife. His country voted to keep the ban.
In the 1980s, as many as 1 million elephants were killed throughout Africa. Hunters killed the animals for their ivory tusks, which were used to make jewelry and other things. “The slaughter of elephants in
Africa was terrible,” says Paul Todd of the International Fund for Animal Welfare. The group works to protect animals.
The ivory wars continued until 1989, when the United Nations voted to ban all trade in ivory. With trade controlled, demand for ivory fell. Governments punished hunters. Elephant populations began slowly to increase.
Tanzania and ambia asked to allow ivory sales from government stockpiles(库存). Ivory is so expensive that it’s known as “white gold”. Tanzania holds almost 200,000 pounds of ivory, which is worth as much as ＄20 million. ambia has 48,000 pounds of the white gold. The countries said they need the money the ivory would bring. They say it was taken from hunters or came from animals that died naturally.
Experts believe that trading ivory encourages illegal hunting. They felt happy about the decision which forbids the sales. “This is a rare victory for elephants,” said Jason Bell. He works to protect animals. 32. Tanzania and ambia asked to open up the ivory trade to____________. A. sell elephants B. sell jewelry made from ivory C. sell their stocked ivory D. continue hunting for ivory

A. it is as rare as white gold B. it has the same value as white gold C. it looks like white gold D. it is as valuable as gold 35. The text is mainly about____________.
A. protecting endangered animals around the world B. the effects of the ivory wars of the 1980s C. the life of elephants in the wild
D. continuing a ban on the ivory sale to protect elephants
