Different types of maps have different uses.Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places.

Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

Distribution maps(分布图)use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People don’t have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.

Jim is visiting the Summer Palace． Which map doeshe need most?

How can you tell different roads on road maps?

Which of the following can distribution maps tell us?

Why do railway maps use straight lines?

Corky was a brave young man and he dreamed of becoming the best fighter in the world．
To become stronger and get better fighting skills, he went to many schools． One day, he went to the best school in the world． Before entering the gate, he was made to hand in all his weapons (武器)．
“You won’t need those any more． Here you’ll get better ones,” said the guard． Corky handed his weapons to him． A serious old teacher took Corky to his room． Before he left, he said to Corky, “In a hundred days the training will start．” A hundred days! At first Corky thought that was a joke, but he soon realized the old teacher had been serious． Corky felt nervous during the first days and he tried many ways to try to get the teacher to start the training． However, it didn’t work． At last Corky waited patiently and enjoyed each day in the school．
“You’ve already learned how to use your main weapon – patience,” said the old teacher． Corky could hardly believe it, but he really understood that the teacher was right． Finally, the lesson began． “Now it’s time to learn how to win every fight,” said the old teacher． That sounded good to Corky until he found himself tied hand and foot． Many villagers tried to hit him because they were told that Corky was a dangerous man． The same thing was repeated for days, and Corky knew he had to do something． He realized that the only way would be to deal with the villagers’ anger (怒气)． In the following days, Corky kept talking to them until he managed to make them believe that he was not an enemy． In the end, the villagers made friends with Corky．
Finally, Corky knew what the most powerful weapon was． He said thanks to the teacher and left．
Why did the old teacher tell Corky that the training would start in a hundred days?

Which of the following is the RIGHT order according to the story?
①Corky was hit by the villagers．
②Corky handed his weapons to the guard．
③Corky tried to get the teacher to start the training．

What can we infer(推断) from the story?

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 conditions are not important because they really are． Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great abilities, and that’s just how life is．
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually put it into practice． What’s more, 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, the 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 great pain and will probably make you give up well before you ever become good at it．
When you see people showing 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 unusual 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, with all your heart 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(回报)． Time and hard work won’t make sure that you will get the great success you may want, but it will make sure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into．
Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________．

Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________．

What does the passage mainly talk about?
