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 addition to that, in order to be really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. 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 quite 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 som etimes easy to think they were lucky or 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. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.

A. work makes one feel pain

B. one tends to enjoy his work

C. one gives up his work easily

D. it takes a lot of time to succeed

26. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A. It’s natural for successful people to show their skills.

B. Success is from hard work not from 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

I decided a few months ago that I was going to treat myself to a 4-day getaway from Los Angeles and visit Chicago. I got a free airplane ticket, but had to pay the hotel in cash, which I really couldn’t afford. I found a travel website where a discounted 3-night stay was purchased from a recently opened hotel.

About three weeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable (可转手的) to another person, couldn't be changed to a later date and wasn't refundable. For the next two weeks I tried selling it on Craig's list with no success. Five days before the "big weekend", I gave up trying to get any money back and decided I'd

contact some acquaintances who live in Chicago and offer someone a free stay. After trying a handful of people all of whom already had their own plans, I was determined to have the room not go to waste.

That's when it suddenly occurred to me that I was looking at the room in the wrong way. Instead of viewing it for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put it to good use, and that was the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it. I eventually found one whose focus is aiding victims of domestic violence. This particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and made it easier to transfer the room. The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room. I was later told by the shelter "they had a blast".

28.We can learn from paragraph 1 that the author______.

A. had a tight budget

B. bought his flight in cash

C. was on business in Chicago

D. preferred a hotel in good condition

29.Why did the writer decide to offer the room to someone?

A. Time for reservation was almost up.

B. He had an extra room.

C. It cost him not hing.

D. His friend needed it.

30. The writer said he was looking at the room in the wrong way to mean that______.

A. he may have lost his way

B. he had done something wrong

C. he made a mistake about the room

D. he should change the way of thinking

31. What did the author finally do with the room?

A. He gave it up.

B. He sold it to a shelter.

C. He donated it to needy strangers.

D. He put it off to a later use.

D

A global climate agreement has been finalized in Paris. The goal of preventing what scientists regard as dangerous levels of climate change—judged to be reached at around 2℃ of warming above pre-industrial times—is central to the agreement.

The world is already nearly halfway there and many countries argued for a tougher target of 1.5℃—including leaders of low-lying countries that face unsustainable sea levels rises in a warming world. The desire for a more ambitious goal has been kept in agreement—with the promise to “attempt to limit” global temperatures even more, to 1.5℃.

Dr Bill Hare, CEO of Climate Analytics, says the objective is “remarkable”. “It is a victory for the small islands, the least developed countries and all those with the most to lose”.

Meanwhile, for the first time, the agreement lays out a longer-term plan for reaching a peak in greenhouse emissions(排放) “as soon as possible” and achieving a balance between output of man-made greenhouse gases and absorption—by forests or the oceans—“by the second half of this century”.

“If agreed and implemented(履行), this means bringing down greenhouse-gas emissions within a few decades. It is in line with the scientific ev idence we presented,” says John Schellnhuber, Director of the

Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.

“The Paris Agreement is only one step on a long road, and there are parts of it that frustrate and disappoint me, but it is progress,” says Green peace International executive director Kumi Naidoo. “This deal alone won’t dig us out the hole we’re in, but it makes the sides less steep.”

32. The global temperature has risen about ______.

A. 1℃.

B. 1.5℃.

C. 2℃.

D. 2.5℃.

33. What is stressed in the Paris Agreement?

A. Check the rising global temperature.

B. Provide scientific evidence for global warming.

C. Help developed countries deal with climate change.

D. Balance the emission and absorption of greenhouse gas.

34. How did Kumi Naidoo feel when talking about the agreement in the last paragraph?

A. Satisfied.

B. Optimistic.

C. Upset.

D. Anxious.

35. What is the passage mainly about?

A. A solution to the global warming.

B. An argument about the seal level rises.

C. An introduction to the Paris Agreement.

D. A limitation on the greenhouse-gas emissions.
